When we try to exit with unsaved data, can we please have an option to 'Save and Exit' rather than just 'OK' and 'Cancel'?

Also, can Ctrl + F please be linked to the "Find" function as a shortcut? It is so natural to Ctrl-F to do a Find in the Library and I am always just a little disappointed when it does nothing...

Also, Ctrl + S = save FPX

Cheers!

I agree. I just lost a bunch of work because I forgot to save before closing the program. It should prompt you to save the library if there are changes. Or an option for autosave every few minutes maybe?

Sorry to hear that! This suggestion has been forwarded to Jeff who is in charge of development.

V2014.05 fixes the problem with closing the program and not prompting you of unsaved data. If you make any edits to a FPX file, a dialog box will appear warning that you have unsaved edits and allow you to abort the exit and return to the FPX file or continue to close the program.

We also added -

  1. Double Click on any feature opens "Properties" dialog window
  2. When in a Properties dialog window, keyboard "Enter" toggles the cursor to the next field and closes and saves the data if cursor is in the last field.
