Browser position of a selection
« on: November 17, 2021, 04:50:03 AM »
Dear camerabits Team,

maybe it's just a minimal, stupid problem and it's just me:

I select a range of images in the browser to change the metadata with the IPTC template. I usually work from the top down. If I now apply the IPTC template to the selection, the browser always jumps to the first image of the selection afterwards. Due to this, I have to scroll down again for the end of my selection to continue from there.
For me, it would be best if the browser jumped to the last image in the selection or stayed in place.
However, maybe other users see it completely differently.

What do you mean?

Thank you in advance.

Thomas

The current behavior is intentional.  We could add a preference.  Choices could be: Make first selected item visible, Make last selected item visible, Do nothing.

Hello Kirk,

the possibility of a choice would be great.
Thanks for the suggestion
For me the selection first last selected item, last selected item or nothing would be perfect.

Greetings
