Description makalove 2011-04-17 13:12:06 UTC

I have been using Postr for quite some time and love it. However, because I am accustomed to using CTRL-A to select all of the text within text fields, I tend to use it automatically. However, when I press CTRL-A while in the Title, Description, or Tags field, instead of the text being selected, all the photos are selected and then populated with the Title/Description/Tags info for the current photo. This frequently causes me to have to re-enter the information on multiple pictures, which is quite annoying.

I'm requesting a change to Postr to make it compliant with the standard usage of CTRL-A within other operating systems and software.

Thank you.
