Floating preview: Fit Width in addition to Fit Image

[nas8e9]

When dealing with pictures, I tend to switch between Fit Image (Reduce or Enlarge)* and Fit Width. I'd like the latter too, especially with its own keyboard shortcut. Does anyone else have use for this?

*: already available; terminology borrowed from ACDSee.

Fit Width means the image overflow top and bottom margins?

Yes, width of the image is changed so that it equals the width of the canvas, while height is defined by keeping the image ratio. So, mostly, in this case one has to be able to scroll up-down in order to see the "overflowing" image parts.

OK, but I fail to see the use in it.

To see the images that have a portrait orientation in more detail.

Edit:
An idea just occurred to me: You have mouse down blow up (MDBU) already. In my case, floating preview is on the second monitor and MDBU on the first one. OK, I can live with this. Now, for scrolling the portrait oriented width fitted image: what about scrolling only the MDBU, simply according to the movements of the already depressed mouse button.

Just an idea, nothing more.

Yes, but cropped. And portrait orientation is rarer than landscape, isn't it?

Well, unless one is a portrait photographer.

BTW, see my Edit above.

Yes, that would work.

>MDBU on the first one...
Hmm, I don't like to hear that! Are all your MDBUs on the wrong monitor?

EDIT: Fit Width done.

Oops, this one is heavy... I have made a few tests now...

Legend:
XY = XYplorer's main window
FS = Full Screen Preview (Shift+F11)
FP = Floating Preview (F11)
MD = Mouse Down Blow Up
1 = Primary monitor
2 = Secondary monitor
n = "Any monitor"

Seen combinations:
When MD is invoked from the Preview area of XY on monitor n, then MD is always on n = OK.
When MD is invoked from the FP on monitor n, then MD appears to always be on 1 = probably not OK.
Most striking and unexpected: XY on 2, FS on 1 = do not think this is OK

Hope this helps and my environment is not some special one (tested under WinXY with two monitors).

Oh la la! Well, impossible to debug without a second monitor. Thanks for the info anyway.

@Don: Thank you for implementing Fit Width . Unfortunately, I'm encountering two limitations at the moment:
1. its shortcut, along with three others, is set to numpad keys. At least on my laptop, I can't get those working even with NumLock on;
2. I can't find a way to scroll vertically; is there any?

1. weird, cannot explain.
2. MDBU

I wonder whether others with laptop keyboards (without a separate numpad) have the same problem?

Could those shortcuts be changed to single letters (e.g. W for Width, I for Image) or would that interfere with the list?

2. MDBU

I'll try that, thank you.

Yep, I'll add that. You'll see them in the right-clikc menu next version.
