Tabulator Key in Two-Up View/Position 2-up-view
« on: January 31, 2012, 09:13:16 AM »
Hello Camerabits,

I run PM 4.6.8 on Win 7 64bit machine with a german layout keyboard.

I have difficulties using the Two-up view:
Using V or H keys to go into Two-up view, I cannot switch the active pane with the tab key.
Nothing happens. The G key for swapping the active picture onto the other side works though.

Any idea?

Best regards
Michael

PS: Is there a way to tell PM to take the active photo in single view to start with when switching into Two-up view?
It only works the first time, but when I switch back from Two-up to single, advance in single and go into Two-up, PM shows me both pictures like I left Two-up the last time.


Maybe I do something wrong but in this case I would need a little help as I cannot figure out how it should work, sorry.

Am I the only one with TAB key not working (even though two systems are affected)?

I got it finally to work. I don´t know if it has to do with the german keyboard layout or if it is simply a typo in the help file, but in order to switch panes in 2-up-view I need to press CTL-TAB, not TAB alone.
Hopefully it helps

Thank you for posting your solution.  Much appreciated.

Kirk,

do you think the CTL-TAB issue gets fixed with the final 4.6.9 or 5.0? It is kind of annoying using a two-key shortcut for this.

Furthermore Jerry confirmed, that 2-up-view should pick up the most recent 1-up-view. That only works on first try but if you, after using 2-up-view, continue in 1-up-view and than like to compare again, 2-up-view is still at the position where I left it the last time. 4.6.9 B2 does not help here under Windows 7 64 bit.
Do you see any improvements here?

Best regards
Michael

Unless there are any glaring crash bugs or data loss issues in PM 4.6.9, no further improvements will be made to the 4.6.x series.

Even though this was not the answer I was hoping for, I thank you for your honesty
