Image preview window Issues
Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2022 4:08 pm
Hello DigitalVolcano Support,
the image preview window and its key binds are quite a mess in the current version (5.18.0).
- As noted in another topic (viewtopic.php?p=8794#p8794), the key binds work on the first group only. After switching to the next group using CTRL+left/right, the window loses focus, you have to grab the mouse, click the window and you are back to square one. Unusable.
- Switching between images in the preview window takes three times longer compared to version 4.1.3.
- The big preview image and the small thumbnails don't have any resize filter applied (like B-Spline, Lanczos). High resolution images look therefore especially bad. Version 4.1.3 uses some soft of resize filter.
- Images with the wrong file extension (jpg instead of png for instance), don't show any tag information in the image preview window. Not even resolution or color depth. Version 4.1.3 has no problem with that.
The following two problems only occur with high resolution images (>7MP):
- Unchecking the "Fit image" checkbox, doesn't show the full image. It's a less zoomed/resized version (about 72% of the original image), but still not the full image.
- The thumbnail size slider doesn't really work with big images. Only the first 3 steps change the size, but after that, the thumbnails stay at xy*96 pixels. With images <7MP the slider works perfectly.
These problems make Version 5 currently unusable for me.
