It's uncomfortable to select archiver from Pack Files dialog

Post by *Forward »

It's very uncomfortable to select archiver you want to use from the Pack Files dialog. You should press Tab some times, then with Left and Right select the archiver, and only then you can pack files... Mr. Ghisler, could you add ergonomic dialog with only arrows to select format to version 7.0?
P.S. Sorry, if my English is not good :)

Have a look at those underscores, you can choose archiver directly.
Want Zip? Press Alt-Z.
Want Rar? Press Alt-R.
Etc...

You can also press Shift-Tab to reversely process the fields.

Proposals about that dialog have been made several times, especially from forum moderator Clo. Maybe something will be adjusted in TC 7, we'll see.

Most of this tricks are absolutely unusable with WCX-plugins. I would also like that packing dialog window will be modified.

Will for sure be very interesting to navigate with cursor keys among 50 packer extensions, all visible at the same time. :)

Why not just a simple user sorted list?

You will lose quick navigation in this case.
So, it all depends on what you are using more often: internal archivers or plugins.

But, in fact I agree that the dialog isn't perfect, Clo has shown me a redesign of it some months ago, not bad.

I also can live with a list, but maybe ghisler doesn't want to mix internal archivers and plugins.

No, I don't like Alt keys in such dialogs. By the way, this is not only my opinion - I know many people who don't like Alts :) At Russian forum there was such offer.

If you don't like Alt, use AHK. *SCNR*

I think, Forward means , that archiver accelerators are not localisable for cirillic layout. And what about AHK? How it will work ?

You can send accelerators by AHK, for example. Info about AHK via forum search and TC Wiki.

:) Hello Jeff !
…But, in fact I agree that the dialog isn't perfect, Clo has shown me a redesign of it some months ago, not bad.
• All we got proposing that new layout was a curt (and late) : NO.
- However, I put it on the back burner to show it here, maybe when the next 7.0 shall come public as a ß :wink:

:) Hi Christian !

• Feel free to do :D
That fake came from your suggestions, so you own the topic as well. ;)
• The image is still on the server (aside : I regret that we can't display such images inside the messages…)
