REQ: other handling of properties for multiselection

Here my problem: I select several images and press CTRL+E (I prefer this combination because I can make it with the left hand while the right keeps the mouse). I get the properties of the first image. After clicking on cancel I get the second image and so on. If I have taken this key combination accidentally (instead of CTRL+I) and/or want to stop the properties I have to click very often cancel or I keep Esc pressed. But then XnView gets closed if I don't release the key early enough.
Isn't it possible to get all property windows closed by clicking on cancel with held key CTRL (or alt or shift)?
Best regards,
Anika

I have problem with close "one Properties dialog box" - there is no OK button, therefore I can't use "Enter" to close it.
For more dialog boxes Enter would be better than Escape too, because when you hold Ecsape you can close also whole xnview program.
So I suggest - add OK button to Properties dialog box and focus to this OK button if Ctrl+E or Alt+Enter is used.
You could just hold Enter to close all Properties windows.

So you want that i add a OK button, and this button allow to close all properties dialogs??

No, I want the same "OK" button behaviour as the standard Windows Properties dialog box...
I want this:
- press Alt+
Enter
- properties dialog box is opened
- focus to OK button (must be added first)
- press
Enter
- properties dialog box is closed
The main advantage is that I could press Alt+
Enter and then quickly
Enter to close.
Another advantage (also Anika's problem I guess), I could close several Properties dialog boxes with holding
Enter key - this is not possible with Escape key because also xnview will be closed.
You can check how it works, select few folders in xnview, press alt+enter and press and hold enter key.
Maybe you could add also standard windows shortcuts
Ctrl+PgDown/PgUp to change 'page' (current - left/right).

Added, thanks Pierre.
Anika, is this enough for you? If not, it will be postponed probably, but I think this is very good solution.

Not changed in RC6, but not really important...

It is better. Now opens at the end of holding the enter key one or more of the selected images depending on how long I hold the key.
One click behaviour would be better for me with shift+left mouse click on ok or exit like in windows. But I can wait until Pierre found a solution.
