Yes, I agree, many modes are confusing. There are also different things that seem to be completely off-place and not completed.
I would like to see one or even two full versions completely dedicated to improving existing functions and solving current problems, 2 fullscreens being one of them, without adding anything new. It is like creating a solid base for a building.

Referring to the original post, another interpretation of the "problem" here could be the difference between what I call "prefix" cropping and "postfix" cropping.

In prefix cropping, one selects the crop tool first, then the area, then the confirmation. Examples of this approach are in Lightroom, Paintshop Pro, and Picasa.

In postfix cropping, one selects the area first, then the crop confirmation. This is how XnView does it.

See the difference? If one is used to the former method, the latter method might be initially confusing, and vice versa.

I think need add some features to this tool like:
pre setup width, height and resolution

I also found that XnView has in the last couple of years become too many things for too many people, (so even though it has bugs I'm sticking with 1.74).

Yes, a selected part of image can be CROPed...
But how to set a predefined image ratio (width:height) or to set a predefined image size?

The predefined selection ratios are in the Edit menu.

So, in Linux version of xnview i can not preset crop ratios?..

Hi vedavrata

Are you using the XnView MP beta? That function has not been implemented in that version yet, though apparently it is probable for the next beta.

The current MP version is 0.26.1 ...

Hi

I asked just a little thing. I would like to see only the selected part of the pic, and not all this with the selected line... as seen in the Vedavrata post... what this soft is ?
