Hey, I posted this in the old forum, but I wanted to bump it back up since I didn't see any changes in ver 4.00.
--------
two separate issues:
1)
i have a recommendation for the batch user interface layout. i like really compact layouts that maximize screen space. i think the batch interface could be rearranged slightly to make it work a little better. i've attached an image of what i think it should be.
basically, the most important part (visually) should be the image selection, but it's about 1/6th the size of the window. even resizing the window doesn't make it much bigger, because all of the other options are spread out/oversized/too wordy. i think it should be bigger to make it easier to see more picture thumbnails (and i've already tweakui'd the thumbnails smaller), especially when you only want to process specific ones.
also, there are a couple minor reorganizations to make things more logical (see pic)
1.2)
i also noticed that some of the buttons (remove all, sort files, load txt, move up, move down) aren't anchored correctly to the form, so that when you make the window bigger they are positioned relative to the overall size, not to the top, and so they slide out of their correct place.
1.3)
Please default to the current directory - it kinda goes against the idea of batch (i.e. easy) if you have to remember to reset the folder each time.
2)
the resize option (for single images) has several choices of "standard dimensions", complete with easy shortcuts (like alt+6) - great. my problem is that, unlike the batch resize, there's no option to set the longest side. so when i want to resize a single rotated photo, i have to manually fill in the height box with the standard dimension i want. otherwise my 1200 x 1600 image gets turned into 640 x 853, instead of 480 x 640.
thanks!
