Wrong selection size!

Post by Dipish »

Hi! I always loved the selection tool in XnView and used it for quick measurements. However XnView has a bug in selection size measurements. It seems to always measure 1px more than selection's real size. For reference I've created a simple 5x5 checkboard image and measured selection inside it. See below

The reference image (it's really small but there it is! :) ): Image

P.S. Pierre, I also ask you to make a setting to alter the default behaviour of mouse selection. Currently it zooms the selected area unless you hold ctrl (and it also applies even to later resizing of selected region). As I said above I want to use XnView for quick measurements (as I do in regular Windows version) inside images so it's really uncomfortable to hold the ctrl every time. Please make this behaviour configurable. It'd also be nice if I could turn off/on the dimming of the outside of selection.

And another small but important feature request on that: could you please make the selection size remain in status bar after the mouse is released? Currently you can see the selection size only while you are selecting...

Yay! Now it displays the correct selection size! And special thanks for removing the zoom function after selection! Thanks for attention!!!

I would really appreciate if you implement this little feature that would make working with selection much more convenient:

Also, looking forward to see the Linux version :)
