Mockup
|
Created attachment 284590 [details] Mockup I'm using the Open Type dialog frequently, and sometimes I'm customizing the Type Filter preference to get more accurate results. But to tweak this I need to note the type or package I want to filter, close the dialog, open the preferences, search for the Type Filters preference page and edit it. I could imagine this feature could become more frequently used if there would be a direct interaction with the preferences when working with the Open Type dialog. I propose to add a context menu on the dialog result which enables directly adding the selected types or packages to the filter, and maybe offer other interactions (enable/disable, hide/show) with the preferences without opening the preference page, or directly open the page. Attached image shows a mockup.
