Text Selection from file properties #2437
-
|
Hello, the file property dialog contains useful information to copy from for citation, but all text fields are read only for no apparent reason. Virtually all file viewers I use allow to select and copy file information like the file path, topic, title etc. I see no reason why access to these properties is blocked in the UI. Also: if the a file's theme or description (pdf) field has a lot of content, the dialog size just increases horizontally and can't be resized. It'd be nice if the information of a file could be easily selected and copied to make citation as well as file path names more accessible. Thanks |

Appreciate your effort, but I explicitly wrote a more common shortcut on Windows not for "other PDF applications" let alone any "Adobe product". So here's a little UI lesson from a seasoned UI developer and UX consultant ... Adobe's choice of shortcuts is only relevant with their own set of applications where they aim to be consistent with both generic and identical commands. They're doing quit well. Single The same no-single-alt+key shortcut "rule" is true for many other multi platform apps such as web browsers. So if you want to do the nitpicking: on Windows
and there are other native (Windows only) applications that use this pattern.
Because the letter On Windows, however, Have a nice day.👋🏻 |

in newer version 3.4 pre-release for fonts you can used ctrl D twice to include the font list (but it not really of much value)
