v.0.38 Drag and drop to batch convert tab

[marsh]

Batch convert sometimes appears in a tab. As long is this happens, files from browser should be dragged and dropped on its tab in my opinion.

you have Convert in a tab if you press CTRL key

Aha. That explains it. However, then keyboard people and mouse people will see something different. Because of this, would the opposite CTRL+mousebutton for non-tab be better?

Currently it's experimental, so for advanced user to see if 'batch convert' as a tab is good...

I still havn't a clue how to access this 'tab' method. Is this batch convert 'tab' the same way as the 'Compare' tab in XnView MP?

Is I press Ctrl+U then the standard modal window (own tabbed interface) displays. BTW 'Ctrl' and 'Shift' keys are modifier keys so I don't understand how the 'Ctrl' key can be used by itself to access this experimental feature.

In the Browser I select a picture, press the CTRL key and nothing happens, please advise what I'm doing wrong.

I'm running MP 0.39

All I can say is that I really like this method (as a tab) and I fully understand JohnFredC's concepts of this display and trying to keep a non-modal approach. I like this batch-convert as tab a lot

Why Pierre, in the first place, did you mention "CTRL" instead of simply saying "Shift"? Anyway doesn't matter.
