Export again

Post by Dreamer »

Keyboard shortcut is still missing.

Also when Tab is pressed, it should switch to quality options (select number to be able to type quality or change it by arrows) IMO, to quick set format, quality and save.

XnView 1.90 <x>

Yes, some users will use it instead of save as quite often I think...

Not really, just go to options, quality first.

This is what I'd like to do - with keyboard:

- press shortcut to open export dialog
- choose format by arrows
- switch to quality options by Tab (or/and down arrow, if possible, it would be even better - currently it works, it switches to [Save])
- choose quality by arrows or type number
- press Enter twice to save it

Of course. :)

Ctrl+Alt+S, but also Ctrl+E would be nice, but it's reserved, so Ctrl+Alt+S would be logical and intuitive enough I think - Ctrl+Shift+S is to "Save as", this will show "Save as" dialog later too.

-> Ctrl+Alt+S opens Export dialog in Beta 5.

Not implemented in Beta 5.

That would be nice indeed (Focus on Format Tabs and left/right arrows to move between them, down arrow to switch to tab content (quality first, on top), up arrow to focus back to Format tabs.

Focus is on format at the beginning in beta 5, but:

- after <Tab> it's on Cancel button
- after change to other format by <right> format is changed once to GIF, but then focus is lost, so format cannot be changed by arrows
