Requests of New Features

[canbeiro]

Hi Tracker Developers

Congratullations for the great software. It is between the ones I most use.

I would request-suggest some simple new features, but that would improve significantly my productivity in using it. They are the following, in order of priority:

=> A 'Save all edited files' tool and 'File menu command'. Reason: I work in several file at the same time, and I edit all of them. When I decide to save my editions, I want to save all, in all edited files. Would be better to click a single 'Save all' tool instead of to go to each edited file and click the 'Save' tool.

=> The 'Properties' toolbar, when we are using the 'Typewriter', displays the 'Font' and 'Font Size' dropdown menus. The 'Font Size' dropdown offers many options of font sizes: 8pt, 9pt, ... , until 72pt. This is good, but why the least size offered is 8pt? I frequently type texts in 6pt, for example a translation of a word, above it, but bellow the line above, between then. To fit between the 2 lines, the text font must be small. Sometimes I also include a comment that, to fit in the available clean space of the page, must be written in 6pt. OK, I know I can edit the font size textbox and include what font size I want, even with decimal values, but it would be quicker if there already was the 5pt, 6pt and 7pt options there.

It is just this for now. I have some other suggestions, but lets go step by step.

The best for you !

Hi canbeiro

thanks for the suggestions. I've passed them on to the development team. It will be at their discretion as to what is practical to implement and if so when that might be.

Hi canbeiro,

the team have responded with

1. 'Save all editing files' option will be added in the new version (V3 or V3+)

2. The user can enter the font size he wishes above the drop down list of font sizes. Or he can make a default font size for typewrite tool (when he needs the same font size for translating the words, for example)

In the new version the Viewer will be able to remember the last font sizes that were user (5pt .... or 120 pt) in the drop down list.

so it seems you will get your wish.

Congratulations for your ever-improving actitude and for your quick decision-process.

About the solution proposed for my second sugestion-request, I should note that it will work only if "the Viewer will be able to remember the last font sizeS that were user", with sizeS in the plural, as you wrote, but not if it remember only the last font size (in the singular).

Trying to help,

Marcos

Hi canbeiro,

you are right, of course. English is not the native language of the dev team member who wrote that and I missed the correction...
