    Hi, It would be nice to have some more short cuts.

    When we do projects with more than 1500 cameras (pictures) sometime some of the cameras (pictures) gets Uncalibrated because the drone makes a big turn an takes a few photos of the horizon. These pictures needs to be disabled in the project.

    When there are a lof of those, the job would get much faster done with a short cut for the Disable-button. Also an option to bulk-disable Uncalibrated pictures would be good to have.

    Eg, "Mark all Uncalibrated cameras" -> Disable.

    Hi, I agree there should be more shortcuts.

     

    1. A shortcut for creating poly lines would be very helpful.
    2. A shortcut or command for assigning points to the selected group would be amazing!

    Thanks!

    Pix4D is wicked cool man! This program is WILD!!! If anything could make Pix4D any better, maybe custom keyboard shortcuts? I would really appreciate that! Because the Right Sidebar, where the images are, you have to press the letter "P" to zoom in. The letter "Z" would be better because we could hit the space bar and zoom in to the point of interest using the same hand. Also, that zoom feature would be awesome if it focused on the position of the mouse rather than the green X. Please make this happen! We want to scroll in as little as possible! If this shaved off 1 second per image, this could literally cut 3,000 to 5,000 seconds, or 45 to 90 minutes of processing time! That means, one hour less time on your servers!

    You're great at what you do! Thanks!
