Stop deleting the selection after cutting #88

Closed PinkSerenity closed 6 months ago

PinkSerenity commented 8 months ago

I find it very invasive that the software decides that I no longer need the selection and simply deletes it. What if I accidentally pressed the Cutting button or forgot to press`Shift? In these cases I have to select everything again. I think it should be optional whether the selection is deleted. I additionally think that it should be opt-in, since I don't think such invasive behavior should be the default, but opt-out works just as well.

This actually happened to me a few times: I forgot to press Shift and had to look for the perfect frames/timings again.

Fixed, will be included in next release. The KeepSelectionAfterCut setting now defaults to true. Existing users, that want to keep old config file, may manually change the KeepSelectionAfterCut to true in the config.json.

I'm seriously sorry. I never checked the config file before. I was looking for one in the same directory, but after that I just accepted that there isn't one. I should have looked in the readme first. I agree that it should be the default behavior, but I wouldn't have opened the issue if I had noticed it. So again, sorry for that, next time I will definitely check better.

No worries. I also forgot that I added this undocumented option some time ago... 😄
