custom rotation grid scales too much

Post by KarelT »

hi!
i am adjusting some high-res images (e.g. 32000x21300 pixels).
although i still keep xnview classic on the side, xnview mp is much faster and less prone to crash on these biggies, so i want to use it.
nevertheless there is one issue in xnview MP that happens when i want to use image/rotate/rotate... (image/rotate/custom... in xnviewclassic).
the attached image shows the difference between using this function in xnview classic (left) and xnview MP (right).
when i initiate the custom rotation, a helpful grid is displayed.
in case of xnview mp, this grid scales with the image, which makes it impossible to use (at least in the case of these large images).
any ideas, pls? is there a way to customize this grid perhaps?
(i have also attached the test image, if you want to try it yourself)
many thanks in advance!

best regards,
K

additional info:
i have noticed that the grid used can be adjusted in View/Grid settings
i have also noticed that the grid appears to work differently in XnView Classic and MP. in Classic, the grid appears to be screen-based. the grid squares do not resize if you zoom the image in or out. in MP on the other hand, the grid appears to be image-based and it scales when zooming the image. A setting to change this behavior perhaps somewhere? Or maybe it is simply a change in author's approach to realizing the grid?
