Shortcutsrc file(s)

Posted by bridgemen on 2023-04-03.

Duplicate lines in shortcutsrc file.

appimage version: Ansel-0.0.0+283.g9405171cc-x86_64.AppImage

linuxmint 21.1

When the first time ansel in started up then it shows in

$HOME/.config/ansel 2 shortcutsrc files, both at 5.4kB.

After starting and stopping ansel a few times even without editing photos

and not editing trough “Edit - Key Shortcuts”, I find in the config directory 4 files shortcutsrc:

shortcutsrc 6.2kB

shortcutsrc.backup 6.2kB

shortcutsrc.defaults 5.4kB

shortcutsrc.edit 6.2kB

I assume only shortcutsrc is used while using ansel gui ?

While shortcutsrc.defaults remains at 5.4kb, the file shortcutsrc has 6.2kB

and contains 16 double lines:

type in terminal:

sort shortcutsrc | uniq -c | grep “2 "

this gives:

   2 a;shift;ctrl=global/Selection/Clear selection

   2 b;shift;ctrl=global/Display/Toggle bottom bar visibility

   2 d;shift;ctrl=lib/image/duplicate virgin

   2 f;shift;ctrl=global/Display/Toggle filmstrip visibility

   2 g;shift;ctrl=lib/image/ungroup

   2 h;shift;ctrl=views/darkroom/histogram/hide histogram

   2 i;shift;ctrl;alt=global/reinitialize input devices

   2 i;shift;ctrl=lib/import/import from camera

   2 l;shift;ctrl=global/Display/Toggle left panel visibility

   2 n;shift;ctrl=views/darkroom/hide navigation thumbnail

   2 o;shift=views/darkroom/raw overexposed/toggle

   2 p;shift;ctrl=global/toggle focus peaking

   2 r;shift;ctrl=global/Display/Toggle right panel visibility

   2 s;shift=lib/map_settings/thumbnail display

   2 t;shift;ctrl=global/Display/Toggle top bar visibility

   2 v;shift;ctrl=global/Edit/Paste development (parts)

You also see those duplicates in “Help - Table of key shortcuts”, column global,

and unsorted.

Actions can be mapped to more than one combinations of shortcuts, if that’s what you mean. I don’t understand the problem here. What doesn’t work ?

Hi Aurélien, thanks for the reply,

I was just wondering why there is for example twice the line

" b;shift;ctrl=global/Display/Toggle bottom bar visibility "

occurs in shortcutsrc, as some other lines as mentioned earlier …

Well, the whole thing is coded like shit, so that might be why. You never know what you are going to break when change something. Be my guest… https://github.com/aurelienpierreeng/ansel/blob/master/src/gui/accelerators.c 

I’m seriously considering removing this at all.

Hi Aurélien, thank you for your answer.

I don’t know much about programming, only (shell) basic scripts to automate somewhat, so …

I like your setup of the graphical environment of ansel because I find it more organized and therefore easier to use.

I follow further developments.

Eric.
