Barry Beckham Posted June 24, 2018 Report Posted June 24, 2018 If I apply the cover screen option in the O&A screen I would like that setting to be remembered, at least until I change it or I close the program Another example would be Border width, but there will be others Quote
Barry Beckham Posted June 24, 2018 Author Report Posted June 24, 2018 That’s it is it? your response to a reasonable request is to just post a screen grab that is not relative to what was being asked for. It’s about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Quote
Barry Beckham Posted June 25, 2018 Author Report Posted June 25, 2018 Yes you completely overwhelmed me, let me explain how you did that. I am working in the Objects and Animation screen and I made a suggestion that some tasks could be speeded up, like cover screen, shadows, border width and colour. Your suggestion: Click out of the Objects and animation screen Click to launch Project Options Click to select the default tab Click the cover screen button Click the Apply to all slides Click OK to close Project options Click back into Objects and Animation screen Brilliant, if only I had thought of that Quote
Barry Beckham Posted June 25, 2018 Author Report Posted June 25, 2018 Igor As always I have no idea if what I am suggesting is a practical thing, it is just a suggestion and perhaps I wasn't as clear as I should have been before 1. If I add an image in O&A over a white background and apply a 6 px border in black, with a shadow distance of 4 with a size of 4 – Then I add another image to the same background the border goes back to a wide white border and the shadow goes back to default too. Its these that I would like to see remain at the last settings until I next change them. For the border I just want to tick the box, to apply my last setting Adding a shadow as a template doesn't help because you still have to go to the Customise button and click, then Drop Shadow Template and click, then Select the Pre-set and click and finally click OK. 4 clicks and I am asking that it remembers my last settings and just by ticking the shadow box, it applies it. 2. Select Cover screen from within O&A and when the next image is brought into the same slide. The mode returns to fit. This is another where I would like my previous choice to remain at least while I am working this project 3. Can the KeyFrame Time box be outside of the Animation window so I can access it easily whether I have the properties or animation windows open Quote
Igor Posted June 25, 2018 Report Posted June 25, 2018 Barry, Thanks for your suggestion. We still can't find the optimal solution for your first suggestion. We can choose 3 ways: 1. Your suggestion (automatically use previously choosed parameters). 2. Save button to save parameters used by default for a new object. 3. Templates of objects. 5 hours ago, Barry Beckham said: 3.

We'll try to find a place for this time box. Quote

Barry Beckham Posted June 25, 2018 Author Report Posted June 25, 2018 Igor I would have to vote for your number 1 idea. Photoshop uses this option a lot and I find it very convenient, because generally we are creatures of habit. We find a setting that appeals to us and we don’t stray too far from it. Quote

Igor, Not to hijack this posting, but since the topic of 'remember settings' has come up, I'd like to re-enter my request to be able to set a default option for location of all files used in a PTE show. The suggestion does not get any traction but I believe it is useful. Gary Quote

Igor Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 Regarding initial suggestion, we need time to think how it implement it. Gary, I remember about your question. Sorry, I feel myself as a politician who promise something and then doesn't do this! That's terrible. Quote

Igor, This would be an improvement that would be very useful and helpful every day, with every show we work on. Thanks...Gary Quote
jt49 Posted June 30, 2018 Report Posted June 30, 2018 I don't think that "Remember Settings" would be a good solution. A button for saving parameters (including fonts for text objects) would be a better solution. Quote
Barry Beckham Posted July 1, 2018 Author Report Posted July 1, 2018 I am sure life will go on, the earth will continue to revolve, no matter what Igor decides. Quote
