Toggle Zoom quality ?

Post by Clo »

:) Hello !

• Zoom High quality is nice when viewing photos, especially.

- However, when it's set, it becomes quite boring to use with some small¦medium pictures
which look quite blurred, while it's unwanted.

• For instance, I've often many small icons *.ico as 21²…24²… to view as strongly blown up, and in that case I'm bound to go in the Options each time, in order to disable that feature.

• Hence, I thought that a command for a button should be nice, I didn't find one yet. Let's say, something like :
cmd_ToggleZoomQuality
It should stand for “Enlarge” only, because “Reduce” is useless for that purpose.

• The must could be an automatic feature, either able to disable the High Quality according to the extension of the current file, or the opposite : Just enable the feature for some stated extensions (I think mostly the JPEG family).

Claude,

It looks more like a new Suggestion rather than a Bug report -> Pierre will handle this depending on his resource.
Short-term solution: uncheck 'HQ Enlarge', except when really needed (what I have chosen for several reasons).

This idea is quite interesting. I guess image size (ex: X and Y <256) and bitdepth may help deciding too.

A request

:) Hello !

• Like the title says, it's a request, and this section has “…Requests…” in its title too… 8)

• Indeed, I disable HQ-Enlarge for ever in all versions (4 installed)…
…This idea is quite interesting. I guess image size (ex: X and Y <256) and bitdepth may help deciding too.
• Of course, that should be better. I just thought to the basic principle.
• Finally, I guess that always disabled, then enabled according to the chosen criteriæ
could be easier to realize and to understand by users.

I move this to 'Postponed' due to very limited time before release.
Please feel free to discuss it further, even in the 'posponed' group.
