No Fit, Fit Image to Window, Real size shortcuts

[kbaum]

Sorry if this duplicates suggestions elsewhere -- this is my first post in a long while, as I've only just started using XnView again.

I believe the shortcut key for "no fit" is the numeric keypad "*". I'd like it if that shortcut were visible on the menu to the right of the "No fit" option.

An important side note: It seems like a good idea in general to have the shortcuts printed next to the menu option whenever possible. The user is reasonable in assuming that if no shortcut key is displayed on the interface, there is none. That would be too bad, since the user would miss out on functionality.

Also, the shortcut key for fit image to window is ALT-CTRL-I. There should be a kind of logic to the shortcut keys, and it seems odd that "no fit" has such a simple shortcut, while a very reasonable viewing option like fitting the window to the image has a fairly obscure combination.

Let's look at the mappings currently:

Regular or Keypad / : fit image to window
Keypad * : no fit
Keypad 1 : fit image to window width
Keypad 3 : fit image to window height
ALT-CTRL-I : fit window to image

Notice one of these seems out of place?

(By the way, the help file says "Fit window to image" is CTRL-T, but this appears incorrect.)

Ideas:
(1) "/" toggles back and forth between image to window and window to image.
(2) CTRL-/ is fits windows to image, or some other numeric keypad option is used, since the keypad is used for the other options.

Finally, I was surprised that the "real size" option is an entirely different option, not placed under "Auto Image Size". Real size *is* an image size! When you select "fit window to image", the most reasonable interpretation of this is to assume that the window will be sized to the image in real size. The idea that the image will be sized to the image at whatever zoom level it's currently at seems a bit counterintuitive. Do a lot of people find that option useful? My preference would be that "fit window to image" would have its most intuitive meaning: fit window to the image's real size. I suppose another option, "Fit window to zoom size" could be added to keep the existing functionality.

Just my reactions. Maybe you get used to the "Real size" option after using XnView more, but it does seem a bit odd not to have it under Auto Image Size.

Thanks,

Kurt

"*" is in menu for "Zoom > 100%. Auto Image size & Zoom have seperate uses. Unmaximize browser or viewer window to see parent & child windows: basic mode (which can serve as a workspace), view mode (which can be tiled, cascaded), & browser mode. Zoom is for fine control of individual image.

1. I disagree, perhaps as option, but these two options are completely different.
2. Ctrl+/ is not free, but this option resize the program window, other options don't resize the window, just the image size.

I don't think "fit window to image" keyboard shortcut should be near Numpad / * + - keys, it might be used by mistake easily when moving a picture for example.

I suggest Ctrl+Alt+Num / , or Ctrl+Shift+Num / for "fit window to image".

(By the way, the help file says "Fit window to image" is CTRL-T, but this appears incorrect.)

Right, current action is tag/untag the file. In view mode - window there is no indicator for this, only in (fullscreen) information - customizable, so perhaps it should be at least in status bar.
