XnView Software

If I choose any script in batch convert - general tab, I can't disable it. I have to switch to transf. tab, click 'remove all', but script below is still not updated (but not used).

There should be possibility to disable script on both tabs/pages with:

- [ [x] [script name... ]
or:
- empty item (or "None") in drop-down menu

XnView 1.82 <x>

The first solution (with checkbox) could be used for quickly enabling/disabling the script last used.

Yes, already suggested by me, here is reply from Pierre: "i'm not sure that checkbox will be good... ".

But I think drop-down menu should not be greyed out, it sould be possibe to choose the script also if it's disabled, then it should be enabed automatically.

We do need something to disable a chosen script. A checkbox is better than an entry "Empty", I think.

Not sure about this one. In "File search" dialog, checkboxes disbable the appropriate functionality, which is good since user can easily see which search options are active and which ones are not.
If possible, things should be consistent throughout the application.

OK, but it's not the same, if checkbox would be unmarked, area next to it would be empty (instead of greyed out), same as now if you open dialog, so it would be clear that it's disabled. I think it's more important to quickly enable script.

Checkbox added in RC1, but:

When script is chosen, checkbox in not marked automatically.

Not sure that checkbox must be checked automatically???

But when I select script, I suppose it will be used.

If not, it should be greyed out, but I don't like this solution, there would be 2 steps instead of one to choose script.

Checkbox should help, not make it more complicated.

Small suggestion - last used script could be selected when dialog is opened, then I have to just enable checkbox to apply it.

Fixed in RC2, but checkbox can't be unmarked then.

Also, if checkbox is marked, last used script should be selected/enabled automatically (only if there is no action in second tab).

And - if some action on second tab is moved to right side (it's enabled), checkbox should be enabled automatically too (but actual operations should be used, not last used script) - because if user choose some action(s) he expects that this action(s) will be used when he press "Go" IMO.

Right

Dreamer wrote:Fixed in RC2, but checkbox can't be unmarked then.

Fixed, but when I unmark checkbox, script is still used - new bug. I must remove all actions manually.

Not changed, but not too important...

My idea about checkbox was a bit different, now it's used as "enable/disable script", my idea was to "enable/disable transformations", it would be more useful then. Now it's useless IMO. Item "No action" would be better maybe, or checkbox could be used to "enable/disable transformations", but I'm not sure if it's not too late.

Yes too late

OK.
