1.7.0: Lost ability to left-click-zoom in Preview pane (Solved)

[Foxyrick]

I don't know if this is a bug or an intentional change, but I cannot find any setting to change it back. I installed v1.7.0 over the top of 1.6.5.

Left-clicking in the Preview window no longer zooms a fitted image on v1.7.0 the way it did on previous versions (including 1.6.5 still installed on another PC.)

The usual behaviour on left clicking the preview image was to zoom to full size and activate a pan tool so I could pan around the full-size image. I do that a lot.

EDIT: Ah-ha! I found the change... the Interface/Mouse settings are different. I needed to change Left Button from Move to a new setting, Zoom & Move.

Problem solved, not a bug

I'll not delete the post in case anyone else comes here to say this.

WAIT! This *IS* a bug.



The new behavior breaks how XnViewMP had always treated Zoom + Move with the mouse.

If you open up an image, which auto-fits, then click and move with the mouse button? No problem. It behaves like it always has before 1.7.0.

But if you zoom in or out BEFORE using the mouse button to move around? It zooms back to 100% every time you click the mouse! This makes the feature unusable.

The way it was handled with 1.6.5 and earlier works perfectly. Now it's broken.

In fact, this breaks my workflow that I have to downgrade back to version 1.6.5.
