UI Element Finder Dialog Closes Unexpectedly
#1
In the CapCut software (latest version), when using the "Find UI Element" dialog in the navigation window to retrieve element properties, the dialog closes unexpectedly.
Steps to reproduce:
  1. Press Shift + F3
  2. Then press F3
The dialog will exit abnormally. Below is a demonstration:

TIP:
In the latest version of CapCut, the controls in the navigation window and the main application window are now hidden, making it impossible to retrieve control properties. Could this be the reason for the issue mentioned above?
 
Another Issue1:
Although the Shift + F3 hotkey can switch to an alternative element detection mode, for many controls, even when they are recognized, their properties cannot be retrieved. I have to manually select the "UI Automation" option and then press F3 again to get the control properties.
Therefore, I suggest that when I press Shift + F3, the "UI Automation" option should be selected automatically. Pressing Shift + F3 again should deselect this option.

Another Issue2:
When the "Add to path" option is selected, if I want to retrieve the "navig" property value of a specific control, the control must be in an unselected state. Otherwise, the property value cannot be obtained. This is often inconvenient. Below is a demonstration.

Yes, exception when the window has zero UI elements.

Issue1. In next LA the dialog will have option "Save UIA" (like now "Save action").

about Another Issue2:
Isn't this a problem? Sometimes clicking is necessary, but after clicking, I'm unable to add a "navig" marker. If it's close to a previously added path, it's not a big issue. But if it's far away, having to reselect and then locate the target again is really inconvenient.

How it can be improved?

The video below demonstrates the issue. My English expression is not very good, so I used ChatGPT for the translation.

Problem description:
I sometimes click on the controls in the tree to identify whether they are the target object. However, after clicking, when selecting an option from the context menu, I am unable to add a navigational mark while the selected path is still active. I have to deselect it first.
#6
But what would be the best way to improve it?

Maybe this: if right-clicked the selected item, replace menu command "Navigate to this from the selected" with "Select previous and navigate to this from it"?

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean and I'm not sure how to improve it.  Wink

I raised this issue because I often use the navig marker, and the operation is not very convenient.

I think you might not have fully understood the inconvenience of my operation.

That menu command would do what you now do manually (in the video):
1. It selects the previously selected item (because the navig string must be added there).
2. Then it works like when you right-click the final item and click "Navigate to this from the selected". That is, populates the navig field.
Finally everything is in good state and you can click Insert.
#9
Do you mean there's no issue?
In my video, I can only add a navig mark after deselecting; otherwise, it's not possible to add the mark from "Add to path".
