Hello Pierre !• Currently, we can show a grid from the «View» menu.
- Unfortunately, that grid has a fixed step, and this has inconveniences, making the grid quite useless the most times for me :
——1.
––2. 
––3. 
–– 4. 
1. This picture is a part of a 384*305 JPG, blown up by 200% in XnView. When displayed as scale 1/1, the cells of the grid are square or close… When blown up, they don't keep the ratio, and become rectangular.
2. A small icon 21*21 blown up by 400% in MS-Paint, with the grid. The step is always 1*1 pixel, it's so helpful, although the maximal zoom in MS-Paint is insufficient (800%).
3. The same icon in XnView blown up by 300%, with the grid. The large step doesn't allow to identify easily coordinates on a so small picture, and the same, even worse, for large pictures. I need often to note coordinates very precisely to set maps (client-side images), and the grid is useless in that case, while it should be helpful with an adjustable step (1*1 up to n…)
4. This is a part of the same small icon (the BMP source), blown up by 1,600% in Corel 3.0 { Yeeess! I use this antiquated program still
} Here, the 1*1 grid is made by the pixels themselves, shown as small “buttons”; when the mouse cursor hovers a pixel, it changes as "pressed", it's very convenient…
In brief…• I would like a grid which :
a - Keeps its shape in the right ratio when blown up,
b - Has an option to set a step-size,
c - Has too an option to be kept at displaying for the next / previous picture…
d - Is able to show a 1*1-step grid while the picture is blown up by the maximum (1,600%)
• I guess this could be useful too whether you add some painting retouch features in a future version, like you promised
Kind regards,Claude

Ho ! I see the bottom of that list : it falls in my garden, how long it's !
Besides, except for some professional users -perhaps-, the X - Y marking is useless, and clutters up the view …
