improvement request : UI behavior in File Open List
Posted: May 27th, 2025, 6:56 pm
Here is a suggestion for improving the UI for File Open.
Current behavior
Current behavior
- When re-opening the File Open transformation, the red dot indicating the current file is pre-selected ( ready to be moved up or down using arrow keys )
- When the red dot indicating the current file is clicked, the UP arrow can move up the red dot once. Successive presses of UP arrow have no effect.
- When the red dot indicating the current file is clicked, the DOWN arrow can move up the red dot once.
- Successive presses of DOWN arrow : while the file list is displayed, when DOWN arrow key is pressed the effect is to close the File Open transformation, and to navigate down the image tree browser.
- Pressing UP and DOWN arrows are unusable for moving the red dot (current file indicator) unless the red dot is clicked beforehand
- It is undesirable to close the File Open transformation when using the arrow keys.
- For speed of use, pressing the UP or DOWN arrows should move the red dot without using a mouse click beforehand
- The File Open transformation should not be exited upon pressing the arrow keys
