[Feature Request] Allow restarting numeration from a specific number

Open elad2109 opened this issue 4 years ago • 11 comments

Sometimes I want to numerate a few series on the same screenshot. I would love to be able to start a new numeration with "1" again.

Also sometimes I have a saved screenshot with numeration on it. I would love to add a new number starting from the last number already appears.

For continuing a number series, this is what I do at the moment: click outside of the capture area enough times to get to the number I want and then I continue as usual.

Thanks, would still love to have a built-in feature.

Now that we have customizable hot keys this is actually much easier to add. We can bind it to dedicated keys.

You mean "We can bind it" - as the developers or the users?

Sorry for the confusion, I mean as in the developers.

Actually, using the « Auto incrementing counter bubble », it is impossible to start at a manually chose number when using it.

Why not assigning the « CTRL + Scroll wheel » to set the starting number of the bubble ?

This actually already show numbers increasing/decreasing, just add the logic :

When used with « CTRL + Scroll wheel », just set the bubble number to the one show in upper left and don't change size of the bubble...

Look like there not much to change since the big part of the code already exist :

Yes I would like to add this now. I was mostly waiting for custom shortcuts to be merged. Now we can add this feature and let users customize how to trigger it.

Are you still working on this @borgmanJeremy?

I see you are working on other things so I made a PR.

This custom shortcut is still a good idea though!

And I think it is easier to implement with my PR (#2162) because it would only consist in resetting m_context.circleCount (and show the notifier box to have a visual feedback).

Edit: I closed my PR because of good reasons about the idea of what the "Numbered circles" feature is and should be.

What is the status on this request after almost 3 years? It would be so useful to be able to edit the number like you're able to in fx Snagit.
