> this is why I am insisting that it is not going to change, in the future. don't get me wrong - as is right now - is very convenient for me and probably for many others, but seems to disturb a part of designers who comes with various backgrounds. to be clear ..when I see for first time that Ctrl + E just overwrite without confirmation, in the very next second in my mind come that Ctrl + Shift + E should do the job I've asked for. It was true ..and logic. Can't be other - so I can say it's quite intuitive as is. Btw. I rarely use "File" entry on menu bar. Now I've just discovered there text helpers (Ctrl + E and Shift + Ctrl + E) which indicate the keyboard shortcuts for mentioned functions ;) - funny. 2011/6/28 peter sikking <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>: > > On Jun 28, 2011, at 11:35, SorinN wrote: > >> But there was already Ctrl + Shift + E which bring up the dialog for export >> Ctrl + E was for overwrite without confirm. >> >> Probably the logical order was inverse - many peoples expecting Ctrl + >> E to bring up the export dialog, > > first of all, ctrl-shift-e was chosen because it works like that > cross application (inkscape and co). > > also think about it: when working on a project (serious work = our > priority in design vs. hit and run editing) then there will be in > quite a few workflows a lot more ctrl-E (equivalent to ctrl-S) for > reviewing, than ctrl-shift-E (equivalent to ctrl-shift-S) for > anchoring to another export file(-path/-format). > > this is why I am insisting that it is not going to change, in the future. > > since the GIMP team (and I as interaction architect particularly) > have the duty not to encourage overwriting/destructing the original > file by accident, there is no shortcut on overwrite by default. > Users can set it by hand, it is their call on the convinience vs. > danger balance. > > --ps > > founder + principal interaction architect > man + machine interface works > > http://blog.mmiworks.net: on interaction architecture > > > > _______________________________________________ > Gimp-developer mailing list > Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer > -- Nemes Ioan Sorin _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
