XnView Software

I like the simple crop feature, but can't figure out how to move a selection (e.g. I want to cut and paste two images together). I know that XnView is more of a viewer, but was curious if this feature could be implemented easily.

Thanks,
J. J.

Hi !

- This exists already ! Just select an area, place the cursor inside the selection : it becomes an arrowheaded cross.
- Press the left-mouse button and keep it pressed : you can move the selection anywhere on the picture !

Kind regards,

An addition to Clo's correct answer:
There's an option to choose whether left mouse button is zooming or left mouse button is moving selection. The option can be found in Tools > Options > View > Keyboard/Mouse > Left button use in selection.

Ctrl + left mouse button will make the "other" functionality available (zooming in / moving selection).

I appreciate the info, but I didn't make myself clear. The arrowhead cross moves the box around, but it doesn't actually move the contents of the box. I'd like to do the latter.

That you request seems to be rather drawing features, and not any is supported currently by XnView which is a viewer first…

- We hope still for some retouch capabilities, and not sure to get them soon…
- Hence, that you wish goes much further, and I don't think it should be added yet…
