Bug? Link Tool Does Not Like To Be Repeated

PHK · Post by **PHK** » Wed Mar 20, 2024 3:20 pm

Unlike most other Tools, if you use the Add/Edit Links Tool and want to create another link immediately thereafter, PDF-XCE defaults to the Hand Tool. Shouldn't it remain by default?

Hi,

The Add/Edit Links tool also has a "Keep Selected" option. This option should be turned ON.

From the moment you activate the Add/Edit Links tool, the Link Tools > Format tab will appear.
Click on the Format tab to see the Format ribbon.
In the Format ribbon, activate "Keep Selected".

Does that help ?

Kind regards.

Willy

Not for me it does. If I click on the tool, it is immediately ready for me to select the area I want with no such option.

Hello, PHK

Please do take another look, While the UI does not switch to it immediately when you select the tool, like it may with some others, the Link tool most certainly does offer a format tab:

Thanks Daniel.

Still another possibility:
When you activate the Properties pane and then click Add/Edit Links, you should also find the "Keep Selected" option there.

Ah! I had not been using it from there; I had customized my toolbar so that I had just the icon for it lined up with other frequently-used tools. Following your advice, Daniel, I was able to select "Keep Selected" thereby solving my quandry. 50% of me was saying that it was my problem, not yours. But it has been so long since I last used "Keep Selected" I forgot about. My apologies.

That's true too, Willy, thank you for contributing.
