Question

Make the "Sync Snapshots" option more accessible.

The Sync Snapshots option is extremely useful but alas it's not easily accessible.

 

I suggest to implement a button, an icon, directly in the Snapshots Panel next to the + (the Snapshots Creation buttonl/con) so that we can use the Sync Snapshots option faster.

 

It would be great to have a shortcut as well for this.

I suggest that if you re-post this as an "Idea" rather than as a "Discussion", it will get considered in the appropriate spirit - plus, with a formal "upvote" feature available.

 

For myself, I think this will only be of interest to those making regular use of snapshots (instead of virtual copies, or accessing history states directly), narrowing to those fewer who want to update their snapshots after the fact (instead of leaving them alone as a fixed record). Perhaps 100% of such self-selected people will agree with you. But this may still not constitute enough overall user momentum to 'encourage' such a change.

 

As a workaround, since there is a menu entry for this function, that can be accessed via a keystroke string:
such as, "Alt /S", "h". This sequence might be assignable to a special key combo / tablet smart button / whatever, with the aid of a utility of some sort.

I was sure I selected "Ideas" when publishing.

It must have reverted to "Discussion" after a refresh happened automatically on my mobile as I was writing it.

 

I assign keystrokes/shortcut to Wacom On-Screen controls, I tired but the string doesn't work.

 

Either I wrote it wrong or it doesn't work, usually only basic keys work.

Ok sorry I know why the string was not working, I used it on a photo without snapshots without realising it.

 

Thanks for the tip.

 

With my 4k monitor I could barely tell there was a _ under the H of Sync Snapshots.
