Cropping – please eliminate new extra click (.107)


Recommended Posts

Hi. I'm splitting an older post in the hope that the single issues get addressed.

In AP 1.6.7 I choose the crop ratio via "Mode: ...". After I pick one, the pulldown menu closes automatically <= This is how it should be.
 
In AP 1.7.0.106 I choose the crop ratio via the cogwheel icon. After I pick one, I have to close the the pulldown menu with an additional click on the cogwheel or outside the pulldown menu. Please close the pulldown menu automatically after I chose one of the crop ratios. 
 
Chris B already replied that it should behave like it does in 1.6.7 (and like it does in the beta on windows), but the thread didn't get an afp-... number to show me that it's logged to be looked at.

It would also be good if the cropping ratio could be made sticky, so it remembers what I last used.
 
(I make postcards from my photos, so I mainly use 5 preset custom ratios.)
 

I just got through asking for the sticky ratio in another post today. We process a few hundred pics per batch, all of which need to retain the original ratio, so having it reset every time is a terrible PITA! I had also requested it back in 1.6 but it never got changed. At least the Darken Border is now sticky in 1.7!

This should not be in the thread archive, as it is not fixed yet. Do I need to start a new thread in https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/19-photo-beta-on-mac/ that links here?

If it was logged as a bug, it does not need a new topic, and it does not (as far as I know) matter where the original topic is placed.

It probably simply hasn't been fixed yet. Some bugs are years old, and unless Serif has said it was fixed it hasn't been.

1.10.4: not only not fixed, but now there is a lag of several seconds when I open the presets to do 1:1 ratio = square cropping. 

This feels really clumsy for such a simple task.

 

What OS do you use?

Monterey has introduced code-signing when NIBs are loaded/updated, which is causing bottlenecking in the app when interacting with certain parts of the UI, such as the crop presets. I don't currently know if this is something we can fix or if Apple need to address it.

Thank you for the explanation of the time lag, Chris.

Could you try and get the extra click eliminated that was introduced in January 2019?

Thanks a lot  : )

I admire all those users having seemingly infinite patience. I love the British cultivate and polite style of this forum, too. Never the less, deep in my troubled soul there is a tiny devil using lots of swearing, and i try hard to not let him out ever.
