Specific keyboard shortcuts
« on: October 10, 2019, 07:05:26 AM »
dear all,

for this one the "Feature Requests" might be a better place, but nevertheless I'll leave it here for starters.

I was wondering if Photo Mechanic has option to set my own keyboard shortcuts? and, if possible, is there any way to connect "Extract JPEG Previews from RAW Photos..." with a keyboard shortcut. I use this command quite a lot and would love to just simply use a keyboard shortcut instead of always going to the menu bar and dropdown and selecting the right option ...

thanks for help!

Jure

PM itself currently does not have this ability. But if you're on a Mac you can easily work around this by adding a shortcut in the System Preferences.

  • Open the Keyboard preferences inside System Preferences
  • Select “Shotcuts” tab
  • Select “App Shortcuts” in left column
  • Click on + button to add another app shortcut
  • Select Photo Mechanic from the Application dropdown
  • Type "Extract JPEG Previews from RAW photos…” into the Menu Title field (Important: text must be exact, note that it's not three dots but the horizontal ellipsis character!)
  • Move cursor into Keyboard Shortcut field and press the shortcut you want. E.g. ^⌥⌘J
That's all :)
