Import - make import modes explicit

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.8.0 64bit
Windows11 (23H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%


Import
import modes (Copy, Move) are not visible enough, which is inconvenient

Suggestion

General
  • add explicit Import modes
    - Copy, Move, maybe "Add to Catalog" (only) as well
  • rework Video
    - remove checkbox from Video group
    - add checkbox to Subfolder
  • rename dialog
    Import and sort → Import

A - preferable
  • rework Photo/Video/Categories settings into tabs
    so dialog take less vertical space and settings are easier to separate visually,
    downside - not all settings are visible without clicking on tabs
