A few UI requests or suggestions
See original GitHub issueThanks for creating this port of DeOldify, It’s really nice to be able to simply run it from Windows but I think some details could be changed to make it even smoother for the repeated usage.
-
Support for drag and drop of input file would be really nice
-
I think the button to run the colorization process is rather redundant. Unless you open a wrong file you just want to run the colorization process immediately so I think getting rid of the extra button would save one (un)necessary click for most users.
-
The save dialog should pre-populate the file name textbox with the original file name. I think most users want to use a new name derived from the original one so it would save them some typing,
-
The file mask should definitely change the descriptions in order to enable selecting the right format by pressing just one key and not by pressing “I” several times. =} I.e. the line number 680 in UI.cs:
SFD.Filter = "Images (*.bmp)|*.bmp|Images (*.emf)|*.emf|Images (*.exif)|*.exif|Images (*.gif)|*.gif|Images (*.ico)|*.ico|Images (*.jpg)|*.jpg|Images (*.png)|*.png|Images (*.tiff)|*.tiff|Images (*.wmf)|*.wmf";
should change to this:SFD.Filter = "BMP images (*.bmp)|*.bmp|EMF images (*.emf)|*.emf|EXIF images (*.exif)|*.exif|GIF images (*.gif)|*.gif|Icons (*.ico)|*.ico|JPEG jmages (*.jpg)|*.jpg|PNG images (*.png)|*.png|TIFF images (*.tiff)|*.tiff|WMF images (*.wmf)|*.wmf";
-
What about an option to run the app from command line just in console mode?

Colorization in progress: ................
Done.
Just my two cents… =)

Good afternoon! Thanks for the suggestions, they are really helpful. I will review them in the near future and make edits to the code.
I am too lazy to create a pull request so here is slightly modified UI.cs incorporating my suggestions 3 and 4.
The default output filename is “deoldified”, later it becomes “[inputfile]-deoldified”. I also changed the names of filter items and the default save filter is .png because that’s what I prefer. I guess other people might like .jpg instead.
