Shortcut to close All Modules #17072

Open PDeb108 opened 2 days ago

PDeb108 commented 2 days ago

Is there a shortcut which will close all open modules in any view? I find it a bit of a chore scrolling up a module to double-click the module header to close it. This becomes especially irritating with those modules that have a lot of options say Color balance RGB as an example, where I have to use the mouse wheel scroll at least 3 times before I reach the header, all to access another module in the same group. See the picture below. To access Sigmoid, I have to scroll up several times before I can reach the next module

No, but there is a preference to close all other modules in the panel when you open one. And using Shift-Click instead of a simple Click on the module header reverses that preference - if set to close, Shift-Click lets you open multiple modules, while if set not to close, Shift-Click will open the clicked module and close all others.

In the preferences dialog, on the lightroom tab, "expand a single utility module at a time", and on the darkroom tab, "expand a single processing module at a time". You may also want to turn on "scroll ... modules to the top when expanded" in either or both tabs.

Yes, I have all of them selected as you suggest. However the issue I am indicating is somewhat different. When you open say Color Balance RGB, scroll down to masks, do your work, and then want to access the Sigmoid module, which is in the same group, how can you do it with one click. Now you have to scroll up 3-4 times the scroll wheel to come to the top of the open module and then get to see the Sigmoid module. This is true for other modules which have lots of options, like "diffuse or Sharpen"

My request is to have a shortcut that will close all the modules, in this case with one click, I can now access the Sigmoid module by closing the Color Bal....

processing modules/<focused> .default element, show, and effect, toggle, should generally do what you want. Unless the module lost focus somehow, for example because you changed between module groups. But then it is likely that the module header scrolled into view again, so you can use that to collapse it. image

you undoubtedly still have an installation problem as you should have modules visible below the shortcuts -> processing modules and you do not. might be where you obtained the dt package or something else, your build, .... I have little knowledge of windows.

Github Nightly Build. Currently on version 4.9+41. What do I need to do to correct it. I have the options available at the first level, but not below that image

But below that it is a blank image

dterrahe commented 1 day ago

You need to create a new shortcut by double clicking on <focused> and then pressing the key you want to assign. Obviously the example I showed is not a default shortcut.

ptilopteri commented 1 day ago

as I said earlier, I am not familiar with windows, but I would uninstall the current dt and download and install the present nightly build which is the version you indicate. you might want to save your current config directory. there are instructions on windows install and location of particular files. I would suggest you read it.

this is my screen: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~paka/Screenshot_20240630_082304.png

appears your "shortcutsrc" file is not complete, at least.

another approach would be to move your configdir to another location so you can later restore it, and start dt. dt will then recreate the configdir and containing files as original install would have provided.

My view at the shortcut level is the same as yours. It differs when I go to the fourth level = shortcuts>processing module> >buttons. At this level there are no shortcuts visible. See the picture in my earlier comment

follow dterrahe's instructions
