UI annoyance, inserting images in E-book Editor

rashkae · 10-05-2019, 07:14 PM

When you click the "Insert Image" button in the editor, as soon as you click on one of the pictures, the picture is inserted and the dialogue closes. This makes it impossible to change the option check marks, (full screen, preserve aspect ratio,), unless you set them in advance, and it makes the OK button useless. For consistency, I think the dialogue should not close on selection of a picture, until either the OK button or <Enter> key are pressed.

That's an extra click and it means that the dialog now has to render selection background behind the images, which makes it harder to see the selected image, if it has colors that dont contrast well with the selection color.
