remove rectangle after zooming in

Post by eweryboooody »

If you use the mouse to draw a rectangle to zoom in, the rectangle remains there after zooming but has no further meaning. You can't click in there, nothing happens. You have to click aside the rectangle to kill it and then you can move the image again.

My sugg: when zooming in a rectangle delete it to make the area free for moving the image.

Idea: So why don't include an option for it in settings?

nothing happened at this one? :/

an addition to this: If you Rightclick+Wheel you can zoom as well I see. But in this case if you finished zooming the contextmenu popps in :[ on top of that a little selection rectangle is drawn at the cursors position. If you make a new rectangle the first one doesn't even disapper.

I think this option would be useful too.

Confirmed (all except this). Workaround - use left button + wheel.

Check this topic for all mouse shortcuts.

Use grab…

:) Hello !

• Personally, I like the current behaviour, it's often useful in my jobs.

• I use the Grab-hand from the RMB and I can move the blown up image keeping that selected rectangle,
it's quite convenient for me…

• Hence, whether an option should be added, I'ld wish that the current behaviour remains as the default…

• Just my 0.02 €…

hmm... but I know RMB+Wheel from other apps. For instance Image Zoom-extension for Firefox does this the same way with the zoom. There the contextmenu is supressed as well if you RMB+wheel-zoom. Feels good!!
