Suggestion: Persistent Callout Properties

[willk]

One thing that would save some time (at least as of 2.03, I've installed 2.04 but haven't used it yet) would be more persistence in the callout options. That is, if I am putting in several callouts, each time I add one I'd like the same type (arrow, box, etc.), with the same properties (color, transparency, etc.) to pop up.

What is odd is that text properties are persistent. If I choose to have the text a certain color, and bold, the next callout I add will have text with those properties. But I'll have to scroll through the shapes and other properties, only the text properties are persistent.

A little more persistence would eliminate a lot of clicks in adding callouts to movies.

Thanks,

Will,

Thanks for the feedback. A number of users have asked for callout improvements. I completely agree that it should work the way you describe. The app should remember what you did last, since it's likely that you'll do the same again. We will try to improve on this area in a future release.

Thanks for the enthusiastic response. It is a pleasure to send a suggestion to a software company and have them receive as an opportunity to make a better product, and to express that attitude explicitly. (Some companies are not nearly so receptive!

Thanks.
