XnView Software

Pierre,

the image resize dialog defaults to 'last size used' and re-uses the last used width and height. This contradicts with the 'Keep aspect ration' toggle and meaning.

Example:
Image 1: original size 1498x1146
Open resize dialog, enable 'keep aspect ratio', select default size 800x600
New image will be 800x616 - correct.

Image 2: original size 1498x599
Open resize dialog
Dialog defaults to: 'last size used', width: 800, height: 616, 'keep aspect ratio': on

This can't be correct as the aspect ration of this image is far from the other one.
Either you no longer 'keep aspect ratio', so you have to disable that.
Or the heigth must change to 322 (with the width kept at 800), so that the aspect ratio is kept.
I propose the second, as this was how Classic handled it.

See Issue 603 for current status and details.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.75 or later. Could you please try and confirm the bug fix, dietmar?

Nope. In MP 0.84 x64 I still see this:

- open any image - resize using preset 800x600, keep aspect ratio - works.
- undo
- snip image to half width, full height
- resize using <last use> defaults to the same pixel counts as before with aspect ratio still checked. Which is wrong.

Thank you for your checking and reporting back, Dietmar.

Confirmed: When using <Last used> in combination with "Keep ratio" the image is stretched.

Right, "Height" should be adjusted. (This is also what happens when selecting a pre-defined size).

O.k., thank you, I can also reproduce the problem. Issue 1243 is fixed in next version.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.87. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.
