Manually rearranging Favorites

[tomczak]

The Help helped me figure out how to rearrange the favourite transformations. Great! A question: once I organise my Favourites, then auto arrange them alphabetically, is there a way of going back to my custom arrangement or do I have to move them around again?

Also, these may be my screen settings, but I the Favourites window is not resizable and on my screen the third column is cut off.

For the next release, I fixed several issues related to automatic sizing and displaying of the Favorites window.

Once you sort alphabetically, the manual order is lost.

Would it be practical to have save/load settings in Favourites? The persistent Favourites window with manually-arranged buttons work great as a floating menu.

I thought it could be useful if the lists of transformations and their button positions could be recorded and recalled thus switching the content of the Favourites window. Or maybe even more conveniently have a toggle button or drop-down list or a few tags/pages within Favourites, that would switch between 3-5 subsets of Favourites?

But then adding to Favourites from the browser would not know which subpage to add a transformation button to...

Saving/Loading Favourites buttons works great - thank you!

If the Leave Window Open in Favourites' Settings is checked, this is preserved from session to session. The buttons and their order seem to be preserved as well, but the number of buttons per column seems to always default to 10.

Also, not that I use it, the Sort Alphabetically button seem to have lost its powers...

A question too: the default.favorites file: it is loaded with the session startup I understand? If I make changes to buttons, when are they saved back to the default.favorites? I can do that manually, or I can save my settings to different files and juggle them as needed, but I wonder what changes are saved automatically, to which files, and when?

I fixed the buttons/column setting not being restored and Sort Alphabetically not working for the next release.

default.favorites is saved when PWP shuts down (same as preferences, color management settings, etc.).
