View - add Use channel commands

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.9.0 64bit
Windows11 (24H2), display resolution 3840x2160, dpi scale 150%

App UI - Viewer/Browser - View/Preview menu
'Show channel' commands have limited functionality as they allow to view only single channel at a time.
It better to have 'Use channel' commands and allow to view any combination of channels at a time.

A
  • add 'Use channel' group
    • add new Use Red, Green, Blue commands (like in ImageGlass, AffinityPhoto, Photoshop)
      to view multiple channels together (eg R and B), which is not possible with existing 'Show R, G, B, A' commands
    • move here 'Show channel' commands
      - (optional) add more combinations (like in ImageGlass)
    • move here 'User transparency index (≤ 8bits)'
      as it has similar 'nature', but for paletted images

B
same as A, but
  • remove 'Show channel' group
    as they still can be used via shortcuts



Example
  • ImageGlass, AffinityPhoto, Photoshop
