Center oversized preview?

Hi all,

It could be that I didn't search good enough, but I haven't found it.
When looking at an image with the 'shrink to fit' the oversized image will get resized to fit and be placed center screen, but non-oversized still get placed left of top left of the screen.
When looking at an image without the 'shrink to 'fit' the oversized image will get placed left or top left with most of the image 'falling off' the screen.

Is there an option or tweak to have images shown centered all the time?

XY 11.6

F9, then F3. Type "align" and double click on the resulting item. That's the option you need to toggle.

Tried and played with that option but the result stays the same.
Not sure if it's intented, but when clicking on top left of the image it would even show the image at the lower end of the screen.


Ok... did some more toying before pressing Submit:
When I pulled the slider between the folder-tab and files-tab from ~10% from the left to the middle of the screen the 'normal' image to appear more centered.
So that appears to be mainly a thing of where the thumbnail is placed to start with.

A thing that remains for now is that pressing a thumbnail is that image will be centered but with the center on the spot of where the thumbnail is.
To clarify (I hope) when the thumbnail is top of the previews the image will have its center top screen and the lower ones will have their center spot at the lower end of the screen.
Tested to see if the 'Top-align' option would help for this, but sadly it didn't.

And suggestion for this part?

Thank you for your time sofar. ^_^

More toying and a 'feature' (or at least how XY works) found.

The option of 'Shrink to fit' does shrink oversized... but it also keeps the non-oversized within the borders of screen.
So (left) clicking will show the image aligned with the thumbnails and completely on the screen.

Is this way of functioning intended or a coincidence?

I cannot reproduce this with the current version (v11.60.0205). Can you?

If yes, can you reproduce it with a "fresh install" (i.e. with the factory default configuration)?

Hi Donald,

Made screenshots in the hope to clarify what I ment (11.60.200).
Installed the .206 beta over the .200 installation with the same results.

I didn't find a button to factory reset the config.
Would that be a matter of just uninstalling and installing the beta again?

Just to make sure the functionality of MDBU with your settings:
1) The image is zoomed exactly at the point where you down the mouse. Therefore it might be cropped at the top at first.
2) While holding the mouse button down, you can pan the image by moving the mouse.

Whereas with Shrink to Fit ON:
1) The blow up is centered over thumbnail when possible without cropping.
2) No panning.

Does this help?

That is how XY behaves indeed.

I will do a test with exe-file on a separate location to start it from and let you know the result of that.

EDIT: done simple test via RDP with a 'fresh' copy of the exe-file on a different location.
The results are the same.
Shrink OFF: Image croppes and is pannable.
Shrink ON: Image doesn't crop and isn't pannable.
