Export Formats in alphabetic order

[abra100pro]

Hi

 

The old Export was much user friendlier. Also the preview is of no use – it cannot even be zoomed in/out.

I wish that the dry list of files would be at least be ordered alphabetically:

I can recognize a shy puprose in this order, now, but in daily use it would be easier from a-z.

And, if I could wish: the old one was really much easier.

Modifier keys

When previewing your export, the following modifier keys can be used to zoom in to areas of interest and view the results of different settings applied in the dialog:

• Hold the   while scrolling (using a scroll wheel, if available) to zoom in and out of the preview.
• Hold the   while scrolling (using a scroll wheel, if available) to scroll left or right.
• Press + to zoom in.
• Press - to zoom out.
• Press +0 to zoom to fit.

Yep, I'd be even fine if it were just from E to W…

It can for bitmap formats, and with a trick also for PDF/EPS:

1. System Preferences → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts → Keyboard → activate "Change the way Tab moves focus"
2. in Export dialog, tab out of any input field to any pop-up menu or checkbox
3. use the keyboard shortcuts from the View → Zoom menu to zoom in those steps

Another trick is to zoom the actual Export window, temporarily switch to another format to rebuild the preview and switch back to PDF/EPS to refill the whole preview area.

Thanks a ton for the tricks. I'm gonna use them until maybe we see something like this, again: proper zoom-button where there is a ton of real estate for it and I must say, I loved the icons – my brain is finding the format I'm looking for in miliseconds compared to "aehmm... hm.. ah, here!"

 

In lack of time I didn't resize the icons proportionally, forgive me. 🙂
