Extended editing (F4) functionality

henk99 · Post by **henk99** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 9:46 am

At this point it is possible to edit an image by pressing F4. The one thing i'm missing here is the ability to draw arrows! Lines, squares, circles is all possible already. So, arrows are only a minor addition....

I use XNview for all imaging stuff, but to draw arrows I still have to move outside XNview. I like to draw arrows in pictures to show things to people.

Cheers,
Henk

I support this request!

Pierre can't add it to the F4 function because that calls the Associated Editor but Pierre could add it to the Paint plugin.

What is the paint plugin?

Open image in XnView, Filter menu, Paint

Ah, see I didn't even know that function! Would be great if arrows could be added.
It would be even better if this paint plugin could be started by a hotkey (like the external editor with F4).

Hi Henk99

Arrows can be added using the Paint plug-in. Just select whether you want double-headed or single-headed (or none)!
