-Offer an Always on Top window option. This guarantees visibility of the tool even when the user needs to click/move/show/hide other windows.
-Register F1-F3 as Global Hotkeys. Currently Pixel Picker must have focus for the hotkeys to function. If it does not have focus, the user must go back to the tool, click it, then move back to the screen location of the desired pixel to select it. More concerning is the issue that F1-F3 will invoke any built-in function of the currently focused window tied to those keys. If the user is trying to select a color and does not realize PP has lost focus, this could easily cause unexpected/undesired effects.
The changes are working well on my end so far. A couple quick notes:
1. When loading via drag and drop the Restore button is non-functional. It throws a "No image loaded" msgbox. Seems like a flag or file reference is not being set. Load Image button does not have this issue.
2. Windows Defender went haywire on the new version and auto-quarantined the file twice. After adding an exception it ran just fine. The v1 release had zero issues. No idea if this is just a random problem on my machine or if it will affect others, but wanted you to be aware.
-Would be nice to have a note on the page here stating .NET v8 is required and the tool will prompt for install if necessary
-Enabling drag and drop for image loading would be a great speed and usability enhancement, especially when working with multiple images
-Currently the image preview is anchored on the left side, so any function that resizes the gui window displaces the button controls. This results in lots of excess mouse moving and window repositioning. If the controls were swapped left-right with the image preview (which receives no direct user interaction) then they would maintain spatial positioning on-screen much more consistently, smoothing the workflow and visual orientation
-A one-click quick export button that creates a new file with auto-incremented numbers appended to the filename would be nice, thus eliminating the need to see a File Save dialog on each export
-Perhaps enhance the export function to append relevant program settings as filename suffixes for easy reference later.
Greetings Deep-Fold and thank you for the excellent tool. I found it so useful I wrote a complimentary program called SpacePort that automates file management for exported images. I hope it is a fitting tribute to your work and others will benefit from my contribution.
