i have a picture with 500x600. i want to check the different resampling methods.
i resize it to 1000x1100 with bilinear.
i press undo.
now with resample lanczos.
i press undo.
now with nearest neighbor .. etc.
every time i have to enter the values 1000x1100 again.
could you make them be remembered?
thankyou

So all users agree to use always old value in resize dialog??

Hello !
• I agree and SUPPORT that request ! These two last days, I'd to resize a lot of small images,
and have been forced to reset the same values
84 times…
• Aside ::: How to write a *.xbs script for a batch transformation ?
- I asked to you already years ago, I'm still waiting the answer…

thanks pierre for trying to implement it. trying

... because you got a

in the 1.93 build.
take for example a vertikal pic like
400x1000, resize it to 200x500.
now rotate it 90° (or choose another pic) so
the size is 500x200.
go to resize and enter the (original) width 500.
the height should be 200, right? but it is 1250!
i think there is a little messup in the aspect ratio?? ...
or do i got sth wrong?
edit:/ it would be great if xnview would remember the value you enter manually, and keep this value for another resize job, when the "keep AR" is ticked.
for example:
i have to resize pics that have to be 200p in width,
the height is of no matter, but it has to keep the ratio.
now on every resize the 200 value in the width field is kept and the height will be calculated (like before).
now i would all resizings to be 300 in heigth and the width is dynamic. same here.
both values width&height should ONLY be preserved when "keep aspect ratio" is unticked...!
just remembering the MANUALLY added values would be great. and would solve this bug?

I confirm that...there is a bug!
A tick-box ?

Hello !
• I agree with the messages above, and when testing the feature with 1.93.1, I wondered at the lack of a tick-box
allowing to keep the values or not, that I expected…
- I guess that it could solve the issues in any case (needs to be tested, though).
The snag is that this dialogue-box is common with the “Canvas Size” feature, so the room is a bit limited.
- However, placed like below, it is possible, and (maybe) could be used with “Canvas” too :

• What do you think ?

another thing with the

,
if you choose a standard size for rezising, and its beginning with a width that you entered before, you cant use it.
eg.
resize a pic 1680x 655.
choose standard size 1680x1050 from the dropdown menu.
it doesnt work. same with others.

Pierre,
I just found this bug today and found this thread while searching.
If you haven't already done it, this should be relatively easy to fix.
The only values that need to be preserved are scalars for both x and y and also the DPI if users also want that.
(I say different values for x and y because the 'Keep Ratio' button may not be selected.)
When the dialogbox loads, you should always read the measurements from the actual bitmap then use the scalars to modify the measurements.
I can't see why anyone would want to remember the actual dimensions entered for the resize because any new image will then have its aspect ratio modified with no way to regain the real dimensions.

One problem with this feature is that it wont show the original values for the current image, and I find that very important when resizing. Yes, I know that the values can be seen in the info bar on the lower left of the screen, but what if you are in full screen mode?
If this is going to be a new feature, please add original pixel values in the dialog. Then the problem will be resolved.
Additionally, maybe a "Original value" or "Reset" button could be added.

You have 100% in the combobox

I hardly ever use the %.
And: If I change to % and enter the value 100%, and then change back to pixels, it will not give me back the original pixel value. Therefore a "Reset" would do the trick.
