XnView Software

i love the Automatic Level & Automatic Contrast edit options.

unfortunately they are available only from the menu (Image -> Map -> Automatic Level & Automatic Contrast) and they are a little unconfortable to reach.

i'd like very much to have them also as buttons to put in the toolbar just like the Red Eye correction.

would you please create those 2 buttons in the next release?

In XnView 1.82 Beta's they are available from the "Adjust Brightness" dropdown list on the toolbar.

that's true i didn't notice that.

anyway they are not still an independent button... they are still a menu choice.

this means if i wanna use them i have to click the dropdown list and then scroll to select them.

i think an independent button would be much more easy and convenient to use: just one click and you are done.

Gee, you don't want much

i think it's a reasonable request and it would be a nice improvement for the image editor toolbar.

we already have great buttons like RedEye, Rotate, Crop etc.

i think Auto level and Auto Contrast buttons would be great additions

Hi !

thank you clo but i'm afraid i didn't understand at all... let see...

1. you said that the XnView authors have designed only 33 icons and adding a 34th icon is not so easy and would create troubles. right?

2. may i create the Auto level button by myself using the scheme provided at this URL: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/charries/xnv/skins.html#ske ?

Hi again!

1. you said that the XnView authors have designed only 33 icons and adding a 34th icon is not so easy and would create troubles. right?

- Only the Author is able to add a button and its icon. And that binds to modify all skins. Moreover, a new "version-flag" must be coded too for an eventual new skin-set.

- Unfortunately, you can't do this by yourself. The number of icons matches with the corresponding internal commands, and that amount is limited to 33 by design currently, and hard-coded such as.
- The browser small tool-bar has just been enlarged up to nine icons since the ß-3 on tests actually, and it's impossible to get more or less.
This is a frozen system

- The page I made on my Manual is only an information in order to create customized skins, but according to the current tool-bars design…
- Since the new version is still in the beta-phase, I didn't update the online page yet about the ninth browser-icon, but it's ready @ home

- A change of such a frozen system seems needed more and more, although it's not a high priority for Pierre…
- Just my opinion, indeed.

Kind regards,

ok. i see. adding a new button looks harden than it seems.

but what about an hotkey? like "Ctrl + L" or "Ctrl + N" ....

i would be happy to have an hotkey for Auto Level and Auto Contrast instead of a button.

assign an hotkey to those edit function should be easier. isn't it?

Indeed, it's easier for the Author (again…)

- We have not any built-in function or plugin-utility able to create¦remap shortcuts in XnView… although it could be useful for many users (not me, I don't use the keys a lot because some physical problems…)

Kind regards,

customizable hotkeys would be great but i don't wanna ask too much to the authors.

i think that just adding a few new ones could be easy for them and useful for us.

indeed, there are still many unused key combinations that could be used for Auto Level and Auto Contrast

my request for Auto Levels and Auto Contrast shortcuts has been pleases in versione 1.82 RC1

the new hotkeys are:
Auto levels Ctrl + Alt + L
Auto Contrast Ctrl + Alt + C

thank you!!!
