Better handling of F7 desired

Post by Asam »

When F7 is pressed, a new directory is created. The name of the new directory is New Folder 1. This is, of course, never what I would like to call the directory. Therefore, it needs to be renamed.

In XnView, the directory name is automatically selected, meaning that after pressing F7 one can simply type the desired directory name and press enter. In XnView MP, the directory name is not selected, meaning that in order to rename it, it needs to be selected first by shift-home or ctrl-A, I suppose. Something requiring multiple keypressed in any case, making this more cumbersome.

The suggestion is to make this work the same way as in XnView, i.e. after the directory has been created with the template name, the name is selected so that the new name can be immediately typed.
