I made my own menu system for applying some filters I like to apply from time to time.
Now this menu is based on right-clicking and popping up a choice menu.
The question I asked myself is though is why I don’t use GMIC_QT for the same use, and the answer is that it’s easy enough to for instance drag an image on the GMIC_QT icon and apply a filter, but then when it is applied and you get the save button it does not go to the place the image came from wen using drag-and-drop or open-with, and it does not remember the original name ever (or rather it does not present that in the name box, it does say it above the requester) so you can’t add something like ‘-filtered’ to it and then save it, no, it defaults to the GMIC_qt folder (when done with drag&drop/open-with) and an empty name box.
So is it me or is this not how it should be done? What do you guys think?
Now to be honest I’d likely still use my own system even if GMIC_qt went to the folder the image came from, in the DD/open-with cases, and presented the original name to be edited, because my own system automatically add a short description or the filter I applied to the original filename and then does a save and I find that convenient.
And of course I still use the QT version for trying out things and copying the command, so it’s not that I’m not happy to have it.
I hope I’m not being too negative, I mean it as a constructive criticism thing, a ‘fix that when you have some free time maybe’ kind of thing. And assuming more people feel it should be enhanced a bit, which is why I ask the forum reader to give their thoughts.
And maybe it’s a QT thing in regard to D&D and the original folder, but the original filename it above the requester so I know the code already got that.
