Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/272

using the functionality under: image > text, overlay
i had hard time to understand how can i apply it to ALL images.
there is no mention of how to do this, not in the app, and not in the docs.
frustrating...
...finally i understood i should select all images in the timeline.

a good solution is to have two buttons with clear description:

  1. apply to selected image(s)
  2. apply to all images

I understand that I need to improve the docs, but I'm not sure if adding a third button will improve the usability.

or maybe a checkbox "apply to all" ?

Adding another element will only make things more difficult, and there's not enough space anyway.
I should improve the docs and the usability of the timeline.

When opening the feature, a hint will tell you that the action will be applied to all selected frames.
