Settings - Formats - rework Saving/Read/Write tabs

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.4.0 64bit
Windows10 64bit (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%


Settings - Formats (Saving Read Write tabs)
rework Formats group to enhance UI/UX

Suggestion
It is better to use list/table control rather than tabs for formats' settings.
So I made few mockups from simple to complex:
  • mockup A (same as in XnView Classic)
    - Saving tab - no changes
    - Read Write tabs - format tabs changed to list
  • mockup B
    - Saving tab - minor changes
    -- added Gear(or Wrench) icon to indicate that format has Options(settings)
    - Read Write tabs - moved to Saving tab
  • mockup C
    - Saving tab - most changes
    -- added Read column - just to show supported formats and separate Read/Write logic
    -- added Write column - old Saving checkboxes
    -- added Gear(or Wrench) icon to indicate that format has Options(settings)
    -- added 'Show all graphic formats checkbox' from General > General tab
    -- moved 'Show most used formats on top of formats list in 'Save as..' dialog' to General > File operations
    -- (optional) added Filter
    - Read Write tabs - moved to Saving tab
