Unable to insert path text into the "Destination path: Choose folder..." field

Post by Jensen Head »

In the "Input Files" block of the "Tool Options" window there is a text field in which, when you right-click, you cannot paste a path that was previously copied to the clipboard. Also, the system keyboard shortcut [Ctrl + V] does not work in this field. I am inclined to consider this a bug, and I ask you to consider correcting the behavior of the PDF-Tools application to be more predictable from a UX point of view.

Hello Jensen Head,

I will ask our developers whether that field is locked on purpose for pasting/typing into it - and if not - we will see to change that accordingly.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello again Jensen,

Just got a reply that this field is deliberately locked - to prevent mistyped paths, and we are not planning on changing that behaviour for now. You would need to navigate to the desired path when setting it up in PDF-Tools.

Kind regards,
Stefan
