When moving a selection of frames change 'Move' to 'Copy'

Post by Lukas »

On OS X:

When moving a selection of frames change 'Move' to 'Copy' with <alt> instead of <ctrl>.

This is how it works in the Finder too, so it would be more intuitive it it worked the same in TVPaint.

On Windows, using <ctrl> is fine because it works the same in windows file browser.

If keeping the same shortcuts on all platforms is such a big deal (which it really shouldn't be, just support both systems in their own right) having BOTH <ctrl> and <alt> change it from 'Move' to 'Copy' would also be a solution.

What's Finder? I don't get this position that TVPaint should synchronize with one individual's favorite other software.

But it should try to be consistent to one's operating system features.

Finder is the OS X equivalent of Windows Explorer. It's part of the Operating System, it's not really a piece of software.

So I basically meant what Slowtiger posted :)

It's Apple's OS.
