Title: Green pin in the viewer is slow
Post by: sinus on August 26, 2014, 09:47:04 PM
If I look some images with the viewer, I can put collection by the keyboard.
While dots (d) are very quickly and the red and blue pin (r and e) are also very quickly, the green pin is remarkable slower, when I click on g.

This is the case with put the green pin on or off.
I tried this with 3 and 6 images. With the mouse all is fine, but the green pin is simply too slow with the key g.

Maybe the green pin makes an extra round somewhere inside IMatch ;)

I figured it out: If you press G Imatch will wait to see if you press G soon again which is the toggle for the
grid display.

G G:   toggle grid display
G Pause : set Green pin.

Oh, Ubacher, thanks! So this is by design.
That is good to know, because in this case, for me, I know, that I cannot use the green pin for a quick selection of an image. I had this in mind, for culling in the viewer.

But in this case I will use another pin-color.

We could change the keyboard shortcut for the grid, but how many users will then complain? Since these keyboard shortcuts are in place for almost two years and so far nobody seems to notice then setting a green dot takes 1 second longer than setting a red or blue dot, I consider this as negligible.

This is ok for me. I simply choosed a red instead a green dot  8)
