IPTC-Dialogue: load and save templates and text / and others
Posted: Wed Jul 02, 2008 8:21 pm
IPTC - Keywords:
(I did not check if all the reported thinks are new in 1.94 or just exist in older versions.)
I have problems to understand the function:
- "load and save template" makes a binary file, type IPTC, extension IPT. This saves and load all entries of all registers (Correct??) That is clear.
- The command "open text files" opens a dialogue with title "Choose filename" and filetype "IPTC". IMHO that is wrong - the filetype should be a simple text file, and the title should be more specific.
- what happens with option "add to list auto"? I don't know what is added where ..?
EDIT: When it is enabled, I can choose one entry of the list - and another entry is copied to the "main box" above??
- I don't understand the load function(s): there is the dropdownlist with the words from the opened text file. I select an entry which is copied to the box below the list. In the list I have to select the word again and move it to the upper box with the "arrow up button". The "arrow down button" is always disabled.
- With the other function I have the same problems:
A double-click on a keyword in the upper box adds it to the lower box.
Why??
I can not edit a keyword in the upper box. If I make a mistake or import a string from a file which is not 100% correct, I have to write the string again.
- the button "clear" (right side) should be renamed in "clear all" to avoid that the user thinks to clear only the current register.
- In "Viewer Mode" the menu "Edit - Metadata" offers me only one IPTC-command; in "Browser Mode" are four IPTC-commands (rebuild, export, ...)
- Handling of the imported file list: now new imported files extend the existing list. Loading the same file twice doubles the list-entries. Maybe you can add the functions:
-- delete the list per command
-- delete the list automatically before importing a new list
-- sort the list
-- remove duplicates automatically
