Hi
I have accidentally deleted some favourites.  >:(
And there I had a button, what opened the autostack-panel. (instead of right-click - stacking - auto stack Files  ...).
This was very pleasant.

But now I can not more remember, how this can be done.
I tried to search, but did not find it in the user-community here and not in the help.

Vaguely I can remember, that it was Thorsten with a good tip for this, but I am not sure.

Maybe Thorsten, your are the one ? or someone else does it know.  8)
Best wishes from Switzerland! :-)

There is no autostack panel, but the command Commands > Relations > Auto-stack Files opens the AutoStack dialog box.
The keyboard shortcut is <Alt>+<C>, <L>, <A>

You can use this keyboard shortcut with an Automation Favorite.
The Pause in the beginning avoids issues by you clicking the shortcut in the Favorite Panel (and releasing the button) while firing menu commands:

That is great, Mario, thanks for this very good hint.

To be honest, my favourites are a bit "out of shape", hence I thought, I wait on the new version and then I will check this again and make it better. 

But now, I think, I have to do it now.  ;D 
And this automation - stuff is really very cool. I think, if I think carefully about it, I can make my workflow faster.

Yes. That's the idea. To do more with less manual work and key strokes ;)
