What happened to the 'Process' button?

    It has been moved to the Process Recipes tool. Usually the one at the top of the Process tools group.

    Thanks. I don't suppose it can be moved back? I don't think it's very intuitive in it's new position. 😭
    At least I could switch Viewer back to Ctrl+Alt+V. 😄

    I don't suppose it can be moved back, but Cmd-D on a Mac (so I suppose Ctrl-D on a PC) does the same thing.

    Yes it is. The button was what I always used but I suppose I'll get used to it. I often wonder why things like that get changed. The previous position made more sense I think.

    Thanks for your help.

    I think the reason may have been that many (most?) people never needed the Summary other than to hit the Process button. And the summary uses a large amount of the available tool column on many screens. So to eliminate the annoyance of having to use the Summary tool to get to the button and the process bar the only other logical place to put it is in the Process tool.

    I do tend to use the summary window so suggested that the button could be available in both locations. It might be worth others who feel the same way making the same suggestion?

    You could also add the process icon to the toolbar (it looks like a gear wheel) and that has the advantage that you can process without going to the Output tool tab first.

    Yes, I like to check the summary too and prefer the button there. I'll make the suggestion also.

    But doesnt the process summary tab just show information about the single selected recipe? Given I never even notice the button before I could be wrong 😊

    Having a button on the tool window that lists all the recipes, where you can see all the selected recipes that will be triggered makes a lot of sense to me. Seems like it should have been there the whole time.
