Paste grid onto image

[JohnFredC]

This week I had a need to embed or paste the grid onto an image.

At the time I was using XnView MP because of its much improved grid settings, but it occurred to me that the ability to make the grid part of the image would be a useful feature in XnView itself.

+1 could be useful .

Grid would be nice effect. But where? I suggested something similar in 'add text' dialog example.

Why not in the grid settings dialog?

[x] Embed grid in image

or

[x] Paste grid onto image

The action should be placed in the undo stack, too.

EDIT

NO!

This is too dangerous an action to give to a check box on the dialog. A separate command "Paste grid" with a confirmation box would be much safer.

If displaying the grid pastes the grid...

Another button in grid settings dialog would be familiar to me after having seen similar buttons added elsewhere over the years.
<apply> <embed> <close>


We already have Filter>Effects... dialog. A special section for presention besides the commonplace ones like distortion, noise, tiles, etc. might be a predictable place to look also. An item with setting ' [x]use grid settings dialog ' could switch between it and a default grid. Avoiding some duplication of the controls seen.
