[suggestion] When the Convert Colors dialog opens, move focus to the OK

Post by Jensen Head »

This way, repetitive operations are reduced to just two keystrokes: a hotkey to call up a dialog and pressing [Enter] / [Space].

Hello, Jensen Head

Thank you for the suggestion, I will pass this along, but I am unsure if this will be accepted. The current handling of focusing the settings menu allows for quick selection of a desired preset, which may change from run to run. If users need to perform the same batch of color conversions to a large number of files quickly and easily, PDF-Tools is available for that purpose.

Kind regards,

I use this function to convert colors of a selected range of pages, within one document, among many open for mass manual processing including your algorithm (thankee-sais!) minus color covers and inserts. And since multiple selection of page ranges still doesn't work as expected, users have to repeat this command multiple times in each document. This is not the type of work that can be done quickly and easily with PDF-Tools, because each book has a different number of pages, just as it may contain color inserts, or not contain them. 😓

Hello Jensen Head,

I am preparing a list of your suggestions for the devs, and will include a copy of this topic as well, so that their replies then all come together when they've had the chance to review your requests and decide on them!

We will post updates here as they become available.

p.s. Our devs have told me that this will be fixed for the next build.

Kind regards,
Stefan
