New Global Action: STF AutoStretch

(1/3) > >>

Juan Conejero:
Hi all,

Today we have released an update to the IntensityTransformations module that introduces a new feature to the ScreenTransferFunction (STF) tool: The STF AutoStretch global action.

This action computes and applies an automatic screen stretch function to the active image. STF AutoStretch can be triggered by pressing the Ctrl+A keyboard combination (Cmd+A on Mac OS X), or by clicking the corresponding tool button on the Image tool bar. This feature has been requested by a number of users on this forum:

I hope you like it!

this is welcome news since autoSTF with uncoupled channels is the first thing i always do.

i hate to ask this, but... is there a reason why we can't have control-a on the mac as well? because i am an emacs user, i use unix style keyboards and i have the control key in the "right" place. it's a lot easier than using command (or control, which is in the wrong place on PC keyboards...)

maybe it's a wishlist item to be able to remap any keyboard shortcut in pixinsight?

Technically, there is no reason at all. However, a large majority of Mac users know nothing about UNIX and UNIX-style-anything --more at the contrary, they tend to get scared by these four letters together :)

The standard practice when porting Linux/UNIX/Windows applications to Mac OS X is to replace Ctrl with Cmd, and this is what I tend to do unless the corresponding keyboard combination is already being used for other purpose on Mac OS X.

I know this is a very necessary feature. It is in the to-do list, but given the priorities that we have now, don't expect to see it implemented in the short term.
