ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Adding a keyboard shortcut
« on: 2017-11-10 22:27:21 »
Hi fellow TP users:

I would like to add a keyboard shortcut to resize using the current proportion.

Somehow the keyboard shortcut disappears.

Here's what I do:

- Open an image with so that I am in the View window.
- Choose Window / Customize.
- Choose Keyboard tab
- Set Category to Transform
- Set Commands to Retaining Current
- In Press new shortcut key, press Shift+Alt+R
- Choose Assign
- Choose Close

The shortcut works on that image, but when I open a new image, it is gone.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

This was fixed in V9 SP2 B3.

Thank you!

I use an external tool to fix rotation.  After I've oriented the photos the way I want, I run exiftool in that folder to fix the orientation.

If I do anything else, I end up with photos that display funny after I've posted them online.

It's clunky and annoying, but it works.

Good luck

I have found that it only happens when I suspend my laptop.  When I restart the laptop, T+ has the database error.  Is it the same for you?

I've also tried using an empty database and I get the same error.

6
After upgrading from v9 to v9 sp1, I get this error:

"Database error: Invalid database handle"

Once it pops up it won't go away until I kill TP through Task Manager.

Since upgrading to SP1, I have gotten no perceivable benefits, and two errors.  Cerious: 0; Entropy: 2.

Any suggestions anyone can offer is appreciated.

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / Menu error
« on: 2014-04-26 18:39:28 »
I get this message every time I open an image:

Due to a software update the toolbar 'Menu Bar' has changed.  Would you like to reset your customized toolbar and load the new one?

It doesn't matter whether I choose yes or no, it never goes away.

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / menu error
« on: 2014-03-01 10:21:14 »
Hi,

Thanks for all the fine work on ThumbsPlus.  It's been my go-to file viewer for oh-my-gosh, something like 20 years.  Can it have been that long?

Anyway, I get a constant error message every time I open an image.

"Due to a software update the toolbar 'Menu Bar' has changed.  Would you like to reset your customized toolbar and load the new one?"

Doesn't matter whether I choose yes or no, I get the error message the next time.

It would be nice to be able to make it go away.  I'm using Build 3935.  I got this error before this build, too.

Thanks

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / Rotating images doesn't work
« on: 2013-08-21 14:18:35 »
Hi,

I have a long history of issues with rotating in ThumbsPlus.  I had a lot of issues with pictures looking incorrectly rotated in some or all of TP, on the disk using other programs, on various websites.

Here's what I finally did:

* Turn off auto-rotate based on Exif

* Rotate pictures as needed with the rotate function

* Run a 3rd party tool in the same folder called exiftool, and reset all the rotation flags to 0

That pretty much fixes it for me.  I'm concerned that the jpg thumbnails stored inside the jpg file itself are still incorrect, but it doesn't seem to cause me any problems, ever.

I've tried all sorts of things within ThumbsPlus to fix it, but finally gave up.  I think TP just doesn't handle it right, or at least doesn't handle it according to how I need it handled.

Best wishes.

Options / Customize / Commands

Then in Categories scroll down to New Menu at the bottom.  Then in Commands, drag New Menu to your menu bar.

Now you'll have an item in your menu named New Menu.  You can right-click on it and edit its properties.

If you shut the Customize dialog you have to reopen it in order to edit the new menu item's properties.

I want it so that I can group some frequently used commands in an easy-to-access location.  For instance I frequently crop pictures to the same proportion.  That's alt-t, ti, r.  Doesn't sound like much, but by putting it on a custom menu, it becomes alt-j, c.  Much faster and doesn't break my thought process as much.

Cheers!

Oooo, that's it!  That was awesome!  Thanks Daan!

One more thing.

When trimming to proportion, the masked area can be flipped between portrait and landscape by right-clicking on it.  Is there a keyboard shortcut that does the same thing?

Thanks!

Hi fellow ThumbsPlusians:

I am very close to some serious ThumbsPlus nirvana, but I can't quite get there.  Maybe someone can help me.

I've managed to add a menu item to the main menu in the View window, so that the menu now reads:

File, Edit, Image, Transform, View, New Menu, Help

I cannot quite figure out how to rename "New Menu" to something else (for instance, "J"), and how to underline a letter.

Anyone have an answer?

Thanks,
J

ThumbsPlus Suggestions / Quick Save option

Oh, oh!

And if you go to Options / Viewing / Editing

and uncheck "Show file format options when overwriting (File | Save)"

then it will not pop up the Save JPEG Options dialog.

That reduces your keystrokes to:

Ctrl-S, Space


Good luck!

Ah, I get it.

That would be awesome if Ctrl-S (or per the discussion, Ctrl-X) just saved the file without popping up the save dialog, then moved to the next image.  Sort of like a batch process, but for interactive editing.  That would be very cool.

I think I can save you a couple of keystrokes, though.  Instead of:

Ctrl-S, Enter, Escape, Right, Enter

try:

Ctrl-S, Enter, Space

I believe that will take you to the next image.  Also, Num 6 should work, but I don't have one of those.  Or, from the Image Viewer, File / Load / Next File, but that's less efficient.

Also, there is a program out there called AutoIt which might allow you to specify a series of keystrokes when you press a special key.  See autoitscript.com.  Unfortunately, TP doesn't have any sort of scripting capability, at least that I am aware of.

Regards,
J

When I edit a JPG I save and exit with Ctrl-S which pops up a dialog to which I always press Enter.  So it takes two keys to save and exit the image.

I would not want Escape to save the image because I use escape to explicitly abandon changes.  Personally I'd rather the default on Escape to be "lose changes" rather than "save changes".

You have a very good point.  I have probably changed the JPG defaults once in 5000 times, if that.  It would be awesome to be able to tell TP to remember the JPG defaults, or alternatively, to have a shortcut for "exit and save the same way I did last time".  I nominate Ctrl-X.

In the meantime, you might try "Ctrl-S, Enter".  It's pretty quick.
