Cycle images in reverse order

Post by Robert Schleif »

Using the insert key to cycle one-by-one through a series of open images is very convenient. Sometimes while I have a handful of images open I want to cycle back and forth between two adjacent images without running through all the open images. Thus, it would be most convenient if a different key would cycle backwards through the open images.

For several open windows [images and/or transforms] in PWP's workspace, you could select: "List Open Windows" from the main tool bar or do a "Control-w"... ...when the "Open Windows" dialog appears use the 'Up' or 'Down' keyboard arrows to reverse sequences... ...you could also use a left mouse click to bring any window to the top being able to switch between two images that are not adjacent in the stack...

Den, thank you for providing information on the Window List dialog.

There is also another way to navigate open windows -- the History tab on the browser.

The history tab shows all open windows by category. Control windows are listed first. Image windows are shown in outline-fashion and the operations which created them are identified. You can click on any window listing to bring it to the top. Right-clicking produces a menu with additional functions -- including the ability to redo transformations.

Mousing takes oh so much longer and requires oh so many more neurons and muscles to perform. Ins cycles forward, Control-Ins is unused and would make a logical way to cycle backwards.

I have already implemented Shift-Ins for reverse order cycling through windows - should be in the next maintenance release.
