Settings - view - add Zoom tab, reshuffle controls

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.5.4 64bit
Windows11 (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%

Settings - view
lack of settings grouping, which is not convenient

Suggestion

General
  • general
    - move Title bar setting to the top
    - rename 'Show Rating & Label color' to 'Show Rating & Color label'
  • Zoom
    - split Zoom settings into separate tab
    - remove 'step' from Zoom step options
    - move 'Reset X/Y (No fit)' under 'Auto image size'
    - maybe move here 'Adjust zoom if X/Y DPI are different' from General
  • Background
    - group Background settings
    - add 'Canvas background color' setting (from Viewer menu Edit>Background color...)
  • Selection
    - group Selection settings
    - rework 'Selection' combobox into 'Show grid lines', 'Normal' option replaced with checkbox
    - add 'Dim background' setting

A
  • Background
    - group settings into Viewer and Canvas Background

B
  • tabs
    try to reorganize settings between ui appearance and something more technical
    - rename 'View' to 'Viewer' (appearance)
    -- 'Quick slideshow', not sure where to fit this one
    - rename 'Misc.' to something more descriptive, eg 'Render'
  • Background
    - minor renaming
  • Selection
    - add 'Dim background' slider


Example
  • acdsee

  • transparency grid
