fullscreen screenshots displayed not 100%

Post by Number_1 »

Hi all
i often use xnview to make fullscreen screenshots.
I noticed that xnview displays these screenshots not in 100%. This results in blurred text due to the anti aliasing.

Is it possible that xnview displays fullscreen files with 100% and without antialiasing? (I dont want to deactivate antialiasing)

Tanks

You have to use 'zoom 100%'

UPDATE 2
i´m sorry - i´m talking about screenshots taken from fullscreen windows, not the desktop itself - i forgot to mention this.

UPDATE
while i´m writing i found out the real problem: that screenshots taken from xnview have a resolution slightly higher than desktop resolution. :x
Thats why they are not viewed in 100%. Why are they bigger?

Can you fix it? Is it possible that xnview makes screenshots with the exact desktop resolution size (for example 1024x768)



Hello Pierre
Yes that is clear but what i men is: it should be automatically 100% if a picture is in the desktop resolution.

my setting is: fit to window - large only
with the "no fit" setting the behaviour is correct but i prefer large pictures to fit to screen

Hi,
no, i´ve used active window (see attachment below)

but i´ve tried it now with "desktop" and then the screenshot has the right size - this is a good solution for the problem.
anyway "active window" should work too but it delivers strange pixel sizes. (pictures have a small black frame)

Hmmm... you are still not able to reproduce the issue?

With the setting in the screenshot you should be able to

try this:

open capture setup and use setting from my screenshot
click OK button
then open a (browser-) window in fullscreen
press hotkey (F10)

this is correct, that is what i´ve said before - I dont know what the problem is :?

select a fullcreen window and then press F10
you will get the screenshot of the active window and it has a strange size

I think you have meant "you can reproduce" (not can´t)? :D
Many thanks for your replys.

Then i hope it can maybe be fixed in some of the next versions.
