RC5: Compare dialog: OK button
When comparing images (Tools > Compare...) it's important to have as much as space for the image as possible.
Currently, there's the toolbar at the top and a lonesome 'OK' button at the bottom. Think the OK button could be moved to the top (a bit expectional, but saving space is worth while it) or be completely removed (there's the system menu [x] for closing, already.
In context menu (right mouse button), there should be 'Close'.

Helmut, I suppose you mean putting OK-button on each toolbar (that would result in at least 2 OK-buttons. Right?

Right. And if you compare more than 2 images you will have...marsh wrote:Helmut, I suppose you mean putting OK-button on each toolbar (that would result in at least 2 OK-buttons. Right?
Personally I'd prefer to have no OK buttons but System menu [x], 'Close' in context menu, and Esc key. (System menu is already there). From my point of view that would be sufficient and still convenient.
Or instead of a 'Close' button have a special 'Close' toolbar button, similar to the dialogs of print previews.

Yes, you can save space space here, maybe some features (delete, rename) could be in the context menu...helmut wrote:BTW:
In compare dialog, why do we have a toolbar above each single image anyway? Currently the toolbar affects all images, so I wonder...
But I still want OK button...
OT - I miss "focus to OK" also in Properties dialog box, I can't use Enter there.

I still want OK button (and focus on it), not important where it will be.
E.g. I press Shift+C (probably main shortcut, see another topic) and then quickly Enter to close. I can't use Escape because I could close also main xnview window.
Or, my mouse has one great feature:
"Automatically positions the cursor on hte default button (usually the OK button) when dialog box appears on your screen"
so also if I open Compare dialog box with my mouse, I could close it immediately (currently not possible).

It's not a big problem to hit ESC twice by accident or hold it a bit longer. I don't like ESC key, Enter is better, more handy, safe...Lesmo16 wrote:There's no problem to use <ESC>, because you would have to use it twice to close main application.Dreamer wrote:I can't use Escape because I could close also main xnview window.
