Use selected image as preview?

Post by raducoc »

I need to batch process some hundred images and unfortunately the preview area is not to friendly. There is no option to choose a desired image for the preview.

Will be useful to have an option to choose a custom image for preview, something like right-click on desired image into the input image field and choose "set for preview image" or something like this.

In 1.0, you was able to load an image (other than filelist)
Do you think that i must re-add it?

Yes, this is a must have feature. I need to process some 50-100 pictures and is hard to work without this feature. Actually I'm using version 1.22 for MAC.

Yes, there is a previous, next image, but is very unhandy to press 100 times next button just to reach the desired photo. If the input images have uniformities, like ones generated from scanners, you NEED to select the ones that seems to be more difficult to process.
