Hi!
Returning to this amazing software, there are many new improvements and it is excellent!
However, sad to see quite uncomfortable interface for multi-tasking settings.
In 'Save as Default' concept.

v4.x vs. v5.x

Previous 4.x version - here we see a very clear and simple layout and understandable the tasks depending on the choice...
What you need to run at the moment - selectively or all at once

Current 5.x version - we see completely destroyed the previous layout, in a completely incomprehensible workflow for multi-tasking...

*attached screenshots

I look forward to a proper understanding of the development in relation to this trouble...
or I'm here don't clear for understanding new improvements or some missed knowledge (?)
PS. Droplets in this case are not considered

Best regards, Gumir

Hi Gumir,
In 'Save as Default' concept.
Version 5 lets you save an output configuration as a template.
Add an HTML5 output add the skin adjust settings then click the save as template button.
Ill save one called my_settings.

When opening a new output just select the template from the list of outputs.

With version 5 you see the output properties but then have a dropdown list to see all the outputs.
In V4 you saw all the outputs but then had to go into each output to get to the profites.
It seem more logical to select an output from the list and then have all the settings in view.

In V4 you had a Create All button, in V5 you alt + create output. This builds all the outputs you have in your dropdown menu.
So you can select an output and create it or create all.
PS. Droplets in this case are not considered
V5 has droplets? File => Save as droplet.
This builds all outputs on image drop, or if you have Pro drop a folder of images on the droplet.

Also with Pro you can drag and drop tour nodes from the tour browser into the viewer to set hotspot, the same with images and videos for popups.
SO this is much faster.

Of course this does depend of workflow and yes after spending many years with the old interface, 2 though to 4, V5 was a bit of a change, but one your used to it it does have a faster workflow.
Regards,
Hopki

Hi Martin!
Thanks for the clarification
I look on the drop-down menu - where nothing is indicated for understanding
watch this video - https://youtu.be/RGV7dhvGXWQ

Now understand where it was hidden of...
