What-You-See-Is-Wallpaper

Suggestion: I wish to have option to set as wallpaper what I see in full screen!

Example: I use 1024x768; when I see some large pics (lets say: 2000x2000px in full screen and full size - not fit to screen!), I would like to move that pic and when I like a part of it, to click it and set only that part as wallpaper...

Is this possible?

And is it possible to add drop-down Wallpaper button on toolbar, for all wallpaper options?

I see 3 possibilities for Wallpaper:
A. Whole image (current implementation)
B. Selection
C. What you see (wysiwyg)
Would this be a good thing? How to implement it?

I think the "How to implement it" aspect should be left on Pierre's side, I'm sure he will find a way. The question is: What should the interface look like?

Perhaps the menu could have three choices:
- Set image as wallpaper
- Set selection as wallpaper
- Set viewed area as wallpaper

It could be achieved pretty easily right now, although it'd take a few steps. Get the image how you like it, then hit the print screen button. Now return to normal xnview (viewer mode) and hit shift+ctrl+V, now go tools->set as wallpaper (you don't have to save an image to a file in order to make it a wallpaper).

Since Drahken found out that you can set as wallpaper what you see in just 2 additional shortcuts...

...it probably makes this feature unnecessary, no?
