1.91.6: Problem with full screen & interpolation

Le Sage · Post by **Le Sage** » Sun Oct 21, 2007 11:54 am

Hi guys!

I'm not sure I'm posting in the right place, please tell me if I am.
I'm using version 1.91.6fr, & there is a bug that seems to have been here for a while (Windows XP).
I've set up the program so that

there is a high quality zoom (for zooming in & out)

when I open a picture file with the Windows Explorer, it opens in full screen
the interpolation seems to be good (high quality, i.e. non closest neighbor) when I open the file, but as soon as I start to zoom in or out, it comes back to closest neighbor (i.e. quick interpolation, & pixelly). Then, if I click F11 to exit full screen, double click on the picture I wanna see in the XnView File Explorer & then click again on full screen (F11), it opens in high quality interpolation, & zooming in or out is done in HQ interpolation (i.e. slow but good quality).
I guess it sounds like a bug

to me, didn't see any mention of it in the archives.
Or did I set up something in the wrong way?
If you want any more information &/or report, please tell me.
Thanks for reading, & congratulations to the single coder for this amazing project.

I erased the xnview.ini file & did the same process from scratch, it was still here. It happens on all computers I'm installing XnView on (there are 4 of them).
Do you need any more informations

Thanks again for your future help.

Basically, you found the dichotomy: In what's called the browser fullscreen, HQ view is very restricted, in the other "viewer" fullscreen, HQ is used in all zooms. The behavior was settled on during the early 1.9 discussions.

I don't have any workaround for this though.

Hey foxyshadis, thanks for your answer.

So if you mean "doesn't work as soon as you zoom in or out" by "very restricted", I guess that's a good description of the problem I found.
So do you mean it's supposed to be a feature, & not a bug?
I guess that if it is in my very own opinion there should be a way to configure it in the options. Or maybe am I the only guy finding this a problem?
Here's a description of my typical behavior: I'm opening lots of JPEG pictures during the day, & they open automatically in fullscreen; I need to zoom on some are sometimes, & I find a bit annoying to have to leave the fullscreen, open the picture again, go fullscreen again & zoom again to be able to have non-closest neighbour zoom.

What do you guys think?

So it's been more than 3 months since I created this thread, new versions go out frequently, though no news at all.
Does it mean this problem won't be corrected?

My

isn't listed in the changelog of new 1.93 Beta 1 version.

Any news about this by any chance?
