Why no right-click menu?

Post by Tadjio »

Why is there no right-click context menu on the main image view?

Well, there just ain't. :wink:

Consider exactly what that might cover if there was ...
Access to any/all of the toolbar actions.
Access to any/all of your installed plug-ins.

The list could go on forever, and almost certainly would satisfy no one.

I guess the ideal would be "user configurable"... [as is possible in PaintShop Pro] :)
If not, as a minimum could we not have the same options as the Thumbnail, to save having to switch view to find them?

I would say that is a sensible solution. Because I find that I often right-click (RC) the main photo, to get to the thumbnail "RC" menu.
