Nik, why can I copy the settings in the menu, but cannot paste it into another image in the same menu? Why can the extra buttons do more/better than a menu entry? Next to it, after being in the menu I tried to hover the mouse over these buttons to get an help text. I was not sure whether these would copy/paste the image or it’s settings as the icons indicate “copy file” to me. The help text didn’t show up then. Of course, located at the bottom of the edit tools list should already give a hint, but at that moment to me the icons were not part of the edit possibilities but maybe something else.
Now that I learnt about the icons, I can only recommend: If there’s the same functionality of those icons in the menu, I should be able to use the menu or the icons, else it gets confusing. In future I will prefer the icons.
As for reproduction of the bug I definitely lack the terminology you use for different views. There was a view without any sidebar buttons, only the thumbnails strip and one image ready to edit.
I first used the context menu to copy settings from one edited image to another.
Pencil icon appeared.
After a while I found the button Show sidebar, this brought back the “edit” icon.
Clicking on it, I saw some sliders moving back to their defaults.
Just tried to do again but I didn’t find any view composition with thumbnails and without the toolbars on the side of the main window.
