IPTC Autofill or letter selection?

[smorgan42]

Would it be possible to add either an autofill option, or a jump to first letter in the drop down menus in the stationary pad? I have a lengthy list of cities, and I frequently need to get to the W's, which is off my screen. It would be nice to either just type W and have autofill options, or click the triangle and press W and be taken to the first city starting with W.

Thanks,
Scott Morgan

Scott,

I do plan to add autofill (it will be optional since autofill does bother some people) at some early point release to 4.5.

I plan to have it use the words from the popup lists next to each text field.  If anyone needs more capability than that, then please explain your needs...

Great. Thanks again. I agree that autofill can be irritating, and that only having the options in the dropdown list is a good solution.

It might be nice if the State section filled in with the city, but that might be asking for trouble.

It is not yet available.  I have it slated for version 4.6 of Photo Mechanic.
