UI/UX Improvements: Feature list

[Linealo]

Hi!
These are all simply suggestions / ideas. None of this has to be executed or added. I just thought I'd give feedback on things I wish / would like to see after playing with the tool for about 2 hours now across different settings and scenarios. Maybe some of these ideas give new insights, maybe I just list things that have been said hundreds of times and add to the voices, making the priorities higher of what is said. In any way, thanks for the great tool and can't wait to follow the next updates!

Multiple UI adjustments:

• Add a function to select multiple folders (and display the content of all selected folders in the selected range)
• Arrow navigation should work truly directional. Currently up/down moves left/right instead of up/down in the image grid
• Move the Tone-Mapper Adjustment to the top of the adjustment list as it has a big impact on image rendering / allow for reordering
• Allow for rearrangement of the side bars (swap adjustment and folder window; allow for reordering of adjustment order)
• Add option to cancel mask / inpaint generation
• Option to pin waveform/histogram to top/bottom of adjustment window
• Offer histogram / vectorscope alternative to waveform
• Add denoise options / button to adjustment panel (and general luma/chroma denoise feature)
• Offer "compact" mode for adjustment panel so more adjustments can fit on screen at the same time
• Add unsharp mask options to sharpening and sobel detection for halation (likely already planned)
• Allow before/after for single tools (e.g. just color grading) instead of whole section (color tab)
• Allow access to the settings from within a session
• Allow to save presets for certain adjustments (curve presets, color gradings presets) and give drop down selector on that tool to select them
• Remember expanded folders in preset tab
• Allow for rotation in crop mode by hovering next to the images edge
• Snap between vertical and horizontal aspect ration when dragging the corners of the crop tool up/down or left/right off the canvas
• Move border option from collage menu to adjustments and allow to change border without saving new image / post-edit (make border add to the outside, scaling output up instead of shrinking image and filling in the empty)

Again, I know this probably repeats a lot of what is otherwise already said, but I thought I'd write it down and put it here before I forget to post it again or something.

I definitely agree with the denoise suggestion: What I am currently most struggeling with from a UX / workflow perspective is denoising. I am sure there is a reason for the current implementation. However, I would expect to see denoising in the detail module/section and also not requiring to work with a separate file but non-destructive directly with the raw file. And, while keeping it simple, still with a separation into luminance and chrominance denoising.
