Better Handling of Snaplets and similar

[gianca49]

Hi Support
for next version l wish the following:
to handle better from inside PM the folders containing snaplets and similar other folders not really reachable from within PM.
l need to use the mac os to search files. l do not really know what l have to look for. sorry.
see example screenshot.
I have no immediate possibility to edit the folder containing all this captions.
a button or any other possibility would help.
thank you for considering.
best regards out of switzerland

Giancarlo,

It is already possible to manage the list:

http://wiki.camerabits.com/en/index.php?title=User_Manual_Flat_View#Snapshots

Code: [Select]

Snapshots can be managed by modifier-clicking on the named entry in the snapshot list. This brings up the Finder or Windows Explorer opened to the folder where the Snapshots are saved.
In the Finder or Windows Explorer, you can copy, rename and delete the snapshot files if you would like. When you return to Photo Mechanic, the snapshot menu will be updated.

On the Mac, the modifier key is Option.  On Windows, the modifier key is Shift.

Dear Dirk
yes but that is exactly what l mean.
I dont want to go to the finder and see many unnecessary files on the screen.
it is not evident if you do not work everyday with this command.
only after a while when a user has too many snaps he wants to manage but does not remember how to do it this problem comes up.
so a little button would help a lot.
after all these years an upgrade on the handling of snaps and other hidden secrets of PM without using the Finder would be useful and probably easy to make for you.

best regards

What would this button do?  Where would it go?

I could see adding a menu item "Manage this list..." being added, but it would still take you to the Finder.  Adding an entire copy/rename/delete feature when the OS excels at this seems a waste of valuable development time to me.

yes you are right Kirk, do not waste time on this
it's only that l keep forgetting to use the key to go via Finder to the files.
but this is my problem.
sorry and thank you
