Could a new tool be made so as to move picture easily in Xnview MP ?

Post by mailto.sales »

I took a good picture, I wanted to check details in the picture, so I have to zoomed in the picture big enough. but it is very difficult to check each detail in Xnview MP because no suitable tool in XnView MP to move the picture so that it can be checked easily. then I suggest it can be make a new tool like symbol "hand", when using "hand" tool, can picture can be moved. This tool resembles tool in adobe acrobat.

Your default 100% zoom keyboard shortcut is the asterisk key (use the one on the numeric keypad), then just left-click and pan.

Note too that at Tools > Settings > Interface > Mouse, you can assign Zoom & pan to Left button (or right or middle) > No modifier. This will give you the performance indicated by user0 without the need for the shift key. However, this one does not maintain the 100% zoom; it will return to the previous zoom level when you release the button. So, it's good to look at one thing quickly, but I more so suggest just using the 100% shortcut and then panning about (when the image is already at 100%, the left button just pans).

However, as far as I know, you cannot set keyboard shortcuts for other zoom percentages, which is a shame.
