Zoom settings on elongated pictures

Post by ticktoast »

I have my auto view set to Fit image to window, large only. Not a problem.
However, I have some comics I read regularly in XnView. It's easy enough to use the Zoom 100% button to view them. But sometimes it's rather frustrating to have to use the hand tool to get to the top of the comic, as these images are extremely long. (I know, I know - first world problems, right?)

Is there any way for XnView to automatically zoom towards the top of the image when you Zoom 100%, rather than the center? I know I could always set the scroll wheel to move up and down the image, rather than zoom, to get to the top faster... However, I use the wheel for zooming very often when viewing photos or drawings, so I'd like to avoid that option.

It's not that big of a deal, obviously. But if there is a way I for me to tweak this at all, I would really love to know.

Thanks for your time! Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried activating Reset X/Y in Tools » Options... » View » View?

If checked, in windowed View, top left corner of image is aligned with top left corner of window, instead of being centered.
The changelog for XnView v1.93 lists “Reset X/Y & Lock zoom” as “Fixed”, but there's still a considerable number of open bug reports for this feature :?
