    Hangman got a reaction from LilleG in Improve The Batch Processing (It's Dangerous)   
    I will certainly second all mitchm's requests for Batch Processing. Currently the whole process is also very slow when loading a large number of files, so for example, when trying to click any of the check boxes to change the output format or change the output location, I'm getting the spinning colour wheel for around 10 to 20 seconds between each click. I don't know if this is because AP is still processing/opening the files in the background, if so, there is no indication of this... I'm running on a MBP 2.8 GHz with 16GB RAM and it is slow...
     
    I'm unsure how the process actually works, but it might be helpful if the options to make changes to output formats and file location are not available (greyed out) until AP has opened/processed all the files in the batch first maybe and it would then be helpful if a dialogue pops up to indicate this.
     
    My other request would be to have the option to save multiple user Batch Processing settings, so you can select them as a default, rather than having to make the same changes for each batch run. I guess you might be able to do this using a pre-recorded macro, though I'm not sure if you can apply the W and H options in the same fashion using a macro, i.e. entering the same dimensions in both W and H so it is always the longest edge that is resized?
     
    Chris B, you say 'there is a spinning wheel to indicate something is happening' in place of a progress bar. I don't have this, all I have is the standard black mouse arrow, no spinning wheel. The issue with just having a spinning wheel is that you have no indication whether this means the programme has hung or is actually processing, I think a true progress bar would be far more helpful and also gives an indication as to how long the process will take, which a spinning colour wheel doesn't.

    Hangman got a reaction from Notes in History Panel Settings   
    History Panel - Question 1
     
    With the 'History' panel, is there any way to determine the actual settings used at each stage of an edit? For example, if I come back to an AF Photo image after a few months (which has been saved with History) and I want to see the exact settings I used mid-edit, say for a Levels Adjustment, is there any way to do that.
     
    As far as I can tell, whilst I can go back through the History panel to the point where I made te edit, there doesn't appear to be a way to see what the actual adjustment settings I made were for the edit.
     
    It would be so useful if you could double-click on any item in the History panel where a particular numeric adjustment has been made and in doing so, it brings up the relevant adjustment panel so you can see the actual adjustment settings made, e.g. the actual values of the 'Levels' adjustment made at that particular point in time. It would also make the History panel really useful... at the moment I can see that I made a particular adjustment, but without knowing exactly what settings I used makes it is a little redundant... it would also be really helpful for someone else working on a similar batch of images (as in you've passed a load of images over to someone else to work on and provided a master image for them to refer to) so they could see the settings used in the original edit, and replicate them if appropriate.
     
    I realise this could sort of be achieved using Macro's, but I don't think that would achieve the same thing.
     
    History Panel - Question 2
     
    Say you've made a number of edits to an image, but the client wants to change something you did mid-way through the edit, but is happy with everything you did after that edit point, it would be great if you could turn the edits on and off in the 'History' panel, by clicking an 'eye' icon (or similar) next to the particular edit, so that everything after that edit remains in place.
     
    At the moment, if you go back through the history to the point the client isn't happy (with say one particular adjustment) and then start to make further adjustments, all the 'future' history is then lost, so even though you may have a large number of additional adjustments you are happy with (which have taken many hours to make), they all disappear. It would be great to have a non-destructive 'History' panel which allowed you to turn edits off and on at any point within the history of the edit, without losing the adjustments made after that point in the edit.
     
    This is the point where everyone now tells me, I am missing something and yes, both these things can already be done (though I've not found anything)...

    Hangman got a reaction from RNKLN in Font problems with Designer 1.5 content   
    Another different issue with the UI Kit that's included with the 1.5 update, appears to be that a lot of the iOS10 'Assets' require the Mac UI Font 'San Francisco', which needs (I believe) an Apple Developer Account to download, which I have but I'm still not able to download the font for some reason, (yet to be determined)...
     
    Any thoughts...
