Wish for New feature :) Direct Goto to Dialog "Target Image"

[midibase]

As the title say, I wish a commat where I can got direct to the dialog-window "Target image".
The reason is that I must often change the values for best results.

Now I must always use File->Open File.. and choose always the same image.

Or is now a possibility?

Thanks for your great work!

Just only to save one click? Open file always remember the last opened file, so you don't need do navigate, just confirm to open the same image.

Yes thats right. It is no Problem on a PC where you have a mouse. But on my solution in the shop I use a Laptop without mouse (risen is a placeproblem) So each movement on the laptop is very tricky. So it were be very usefall, If I could do a Command on a button or has a shortkey for the command. BG Sigi

You could just use a USB mouse to plug in to the laptop.
Maybe even a wireless one so you dont have the lead to worry about.

@StuartB4 he say it is using a Laptop without mouse because of placeproblem
@midibase it's ok for me to add a File menu entry with "reopen last file" as well as add some keyboard shortcut for jogging as already asked by someone

Hello, thank you. But were it possible that, when I open this command, the first dialog will be automatic ok-Button clicked, so this mean I came to my whised Dialog at first? Please.....

The problem is not cable or wireless. The problem is hat i built a cool station, where place on one level for the Laser is and on the over level is place only for the laptop. No place for a mouse ☹ on this level. Bg sigi Von: StuartB4 [mailto:notifications@github.com] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 8.

Hello I tested and it works well. But some impressions or question do I have * It is not clear for me how I could use the CustomButtons – short cuts. I do not found a way where I could link it for example the custum made buttons. * Not really nessecary but a shortcut could also shown on the menuItem for example Strg+O for opening File * I’m not sure if it is good or it is nessesary to add new shortCuts (I would it not needed)? * Also a little thing is, if the Buttons on a Dialog (OK, Next…) would have shortcuts Some other questions: * For what is homing ($H) really needed? * A really cool feature where, if it were possible to „draw“ the lines-light. This would mean in the option to set the s-max value (f.e. 20). And when it start it moves with the maximum speed (G0) and with the laser-power from the option. So I could show if all drawings are right on the wood. I’m also an c# programmer, so if it is ok for you I would build this function, and when you think it is good enough, so you could put the code in your main-code?

It is not clear for me how I could use the CustomButtons – short cuts. I do not found a way where I could link it for example the custum made buttons.

Linking is positional: CustomButton1 is for the first button, CustomButton2 for the second...

I'm not sure if it is good or it is nessesary to add new shortCuts (I would it not needed)?

I think I have added all the available actions to the shortcuts list. Tell me if you see I forget something.

Also a little thing is, if the Buttons on a Dialog (OK, Next…) would have shortcuts.

They usually have standard windows shortcuts (Esc: cancel, Enter: ok) but sometime I forget to define them. Some other times I choose to not define them because in some situation an "explicit" click is more clear than an enter (think about a form where you have an edit and you click ok thinking you are editing a value and an ok is taken on the form instead!).

For what is homing ($H) really needed?

Homing is a procedure to get a reliable and absolute position reference sensing limit switch.
It require hardware limit switch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyS-SgZtbXQ

A really cool feature where, if it were possible to „draw“ the lines-light.

In LaserGRBL project I choose to prefer simplicity to "a lot of cool features that each one would want a bit different, driving me crazy". For woodpiece positioning you can use a custom button and draw image frame using macro.
