MDBU Shrink to Screen

[TheQwerty]

I'd like to see another option for mouse down blow up, instead of shrinking images to the window size, I'd like to shrink them to the monitor's size.

Shrinking to the window size tends to be too small for me and I really don't like working with XY maximized.
The panning on large images is nice but tends to be a bit useless on larger images.

(Though really it would be more awesome if maybe when MDBU is active the wheel could adjust the zoom level. )

So all these preview changes and this post gets completely ignored?

Oh, sorry for being late. I made a note (it's not that easy to do).

The idea was too good not to add it at once.

Awesome! Works exactly as I wanted.

One thing I just discovered though (with this and the Full Screen Preview), the preview always occurs on the primary monitor, even if XY is on a different one. I think users would expect them to show up on the same monitor as the majority of XY's main window.

That said, I have XY on my primary monitor all the time (just curiously moved it to test this) and no one else has said anything so maybe you can wait for two fools.

Before you tell me, there's one little bug that's fixed over here already:

Code: Select all

    ! Mouse Down Blow Up: Images were panned that did not needed panning 
      because they were exactly the size of the screen. Fixed.

Made a note about monitors...

And, yes!, I should have done this years ago!! Will never turn it off again.

Didn't catch that, but did another one..

Note that these settings apply to MDBU on thumbnails as well as to
MDBU on the image preview on Info Panel

This doesn't seem to hold true (perhaps related to multi-monitors?), as MDBU from preview shrinks to monitor, but on thumbnail it does not.

Hmm, it definitely does here! What does it instead? Shrink to window, or not shrink at all?

1) From a fresh copy, registered and with Thumbnail disk-caching enabled.
Image Size: 2560x1024.
Window Size: 900x600; Position (Left, Top): 190, 212 (Entirely on Primary Monitor)
Monitor 1 (Primary) Size: 1280x1024; Position (Left,Top): 0,0
Monitor 2 Size: 1440x900; Position (Left, Top): -1440, 120

Shrink to Fit Window; Full Screen; MDBU IP Preview; MDBU Thumb
Off; Off; Window Size (Panning); Window Size (Panning)
Off; On; > Monitor 1 Size (Panning); > Monitor 1 Size (Panning)
On; Off; Window Size (Shrink to Fit); Window Size (Panning)
On; On; Monitor 1 Size (Shrink to Fit); > Monitor 1 Size (Panning)

2) I was trying to test this using a fresh unregistered copy, and with a larger image (3648x2736), but was getting freezes and crashes. I believe XY was choking on attempting to add the Unregistered XY (or whatever) box to the image, so prehaps you should set & limit "PreviewMaxArea" on the trial version? When registered I get the same behavior as above with this larger image.

Code: Select all

    + Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up: Added option "Full
      screen". If checked then the blow up will use the full screen (if
      necessary), not only XYplorer's main window.

this is nice!

but sometimes the bottom of the image is hidden behind the taskbar.
this doesn't seem to be caused by any specific image or setting.
maybe window blinds is getting in the way.

I'm having the same effect (without window blinds) and could not spot any pattern in it nor did I find a way to prevent it. Must be some kind of Windows smartness in action. I will eventually find a way to tame it...

1) works alright here -- mystery... what do you get when you enter the secret scripting command ::virtualscreen; ?

2) thanks! -- there was indeed a bug ever since I print the XY TRIAL VERSION label on the image. should work now w/out the chokes. I wonder how many customers I lost through this...

With "Shrink to fit window" and "fit to screen" enabled, the MDBU is different when performed on "Thumbs view" compared to "IP|Preview".
MDBU from IP is perfect but from thumbs view the images are shifted to either left (if thumb is on right side in list) or right (if thumb is on left side in list).
To view the complete image, I have to do MDBU and move mouse in the same direction as shift until the MDBU is centered correctly.

There is no difference in the code. The panning position depends on the cursor position on the screen. So it's natural that initially the MDBU on a thumbnail shows another detail than the MDBU on the preview.

Alles klar.
