Retain screenshot toggle dialog info while still in project

Unread post by Dean Whitlock »

I toggle every screenshot to show a thumbnail with "Click for Larger Image" option. The only thing that I change from image to image is the tooltip for the collapsed version. I would love it if the information on the image toggle dialog was not forgotten when I saved and closed the dialog. That way, I would only have to enter the new tooltip when I create the next screenshot toggle. Could this be a customization option? I don't mind if the info is forgotten when I exit or even close the project. It would be great to have it remembered as long as I was in the same project.

Thanks,
Dean

Dean,

What exactly do you want the dialog to remember? It already remembers the tooltip and caption settings, but not anything else. Some settings wouldn't make sense -- for example the ID must not be remembered because entering the same ID for two toggles on the same page would render both toggles unfunctional.

Hi Tim,

In my case, the dialog does not remember anything from the previous screenshot toggle. Every time I capture or insert a new picture, right-click on it, and select picture > make picture a toggle, I get a virgin dialog with only the image file name filled in.

(Version 4.5.0, Build 1344)

What I would like saved is everything except the image file names: Export option check boxes and optional ID, spacing, thumbnail percentage, tooltips, and captions.

Thanks,
Dean

Hi Dean,

OK, makes sense. I've added it to the programmers' official Wish List database. Can't promise anything in terms of ETA, however... :?
