Zoom via mouse is gone in 1.70

Post by AHCarter »

:bug: In pre 1.70 versions I used to be able to lasso a portion of a graphic and click to zoom, in which case it would zoom and center on that area. Now the only thing lasso does is lasso, with I guess the intention of cropping. Is this a planned/changed feature or a bug?
:(

This is a planned feature:
In XnView 1.70 you have to press 'Ctrl + Mouse click' for zooming in and 'Ctrl + Shift + Mouse click' for zooming out. The behaviour was changed in XnView 1.70 since the possibility to move the selection was added.

Well, isn't that special. It does make sense and a better improvement caus sometimes I would want to crop a pic and if I didn't have the mouse just right, the box would disapper and I'd have to start over.
