Print dialogue - Layout - Position

[Peter2]

On "Print dialogue - Tab Layout I can select the "Position" - nine option left/center/right x top/center/bottom.

Problem: The settings "center" and "bottom" for height are ignored although they are selected. The preview and the print uses always "top".
(The left / center / right options work fine.)

Hmm, when selecting various positions (Top-Left, Top-Center, Top-Right, Left-Center, ...) using the drop down list, I can see the image contents moving around correctly. And the (PDF) print is positioned correctly, too. Which other settings do you use? What's the value of your margins?

Note: Tested with XnView 1.97.7

I took a TIF (bw, 400 dpi, 42 * 60 cm = DIN A2) and select "print on A4, use DPI". The result is how described.
Margin are approx. 0,5 - 1 cm.

Just guessing: Is the image perhaps that wide that right, center, and left position are the same?

[Peter2]

No. I will contact you directly.

With your image provided I could reproduce the problem. The problem occurs if you select "dpi" in print dialog AND the image's size is larger than the chosen paper size: Horizontal alignment left, center, and right works fine, but vertical alignment looks broken. Changing the dpi setting of the image (Image > Set dpi...) clearly shows that the problem only occurs if the image's size is larger than the paper size.

Looks like a bug, BUT:
Your image is too large for the paper, does printing the image that way make sense at all?

...Your image is too large for the paper, does printing the image that way make sense at all?

Yes, of course. This is a kind of "tile-feature", very often used in software which handles large-format data (HPGL-Plotfile, PDF, TIF, ..) with a standard A4-printer. There you get some parts of image in original size and you have to collate it with "Tixo" and "Uhu". That is a BTN-solution ...
