batch files & navigation issues

Post by rfuerman »

Hello.
15 Feb, 16 Feb: Back to workspace script to adjust & resize multiple images. Course I've totally forgotten how it works. And today there is a new v48 with workspace changes. So I load up current version.
18) When open WS script, then add multiple files, perhaps open the 'batch file open' dialog at same time?
19) When editing a single image, then this 'batch file open' dlg can be used to open a file or files (but why would user not use the menu | file open command? because it closes original image, see #22) it really seems to be more useful to select images for the batch. If a user is editing a single image, what functionality does this dlg add? Perhaps rename to something more descriptive?
20) Open multiple files then use [Select Files] button on the 'batch file open' dlg to switch current file, as suggested in help file tips, crashes PW. That is, select a file that is already included in the dialog. But - try again a day later - now selected file opens in new 'batch file open' dlg. Next try = crash. Help file tips says this button changes (switches) current file, but then it says it selects new files - which is it? Or should it do both?
21) menu | file close not working here. Close all does close image(s).
22) Open single image, then File | Open a second image. This closes first image with no warning? Oh, wait it is still there. BUT - first image does not show up in the 'batch file open' dialog when double click on second image. Should it? Else how to change images? It seems I need to close image #2 to return to image #1, is this correct?
Thx, Bob

19, 22 - File Open opens a new file and starts a new branch. If you select multiple files, each one opens in a new branch. Double-clicking on an already open file lets you edit the original File Open and possibly switch to a different file or add more files to the list. File Open Multiple lets you select multiple files and puts them all in the same branch, while opening the first one in the list. The remaining files just go onto the edit of the file list.

20, 21 - Fixed for next release.
