Fast export doesn't work on Mac OS

ART 1.25.9

Fast export doesn't work (neither by clicking nor by shorcut, already present in version 1.25.8) and there is no option for fast export and sound on Preference menu

Hi,
works for me, and I'm on macos. You need to resize the preferences window maybe?

[Veuks]

Hi,
no, unfortunately resizing does not help; the tabs are still missing, and the fast export function does not work on my mac running Sequoia 15.6.1.

Please elaborate, I don't understand what you mean. How do you know it's not working? Can you post a video maybe?

[Veuks]

Yes of course.

I think it doesn't work because when I click on “Save current image” while holding down the Ctrl key, it produces the same result as when I click without holding down Ctrl. An export window opens.

Perhaps the Ctrl-click shortcut isn't working, because most shortcuts that use Alt for example (Option on Mac) don't work either (for example, Alt+S doesn't take a snapshot), but I don't have the Fast Export tab in Preferences either, which is strange.

That's exactly how it is supposed to work. If you put the images on the queue in fast export mode, you should see the thumbnails decorated with a little "fast forward ⏩" icon. But the end result should be nearly indistinguishable from the regular pipeline in most cases (you might in general expect just a small loss of fine detail). The biggest difference is that in fast export mode the image is resized to the bounding box specified in the preferences. I don't remember what happens when the hounds are zero, perhaps fast export is disabled in this case. So maybe the culprit is that you are not able to set the bounds in the preferences window for some reason... But I don't know how that can be. I'll try to investigate

Oh, okay, that's good to know, thank you.

For Alt shortcuts that don't work, should I open a new issue?

Yes please
