General Image Window Preference

This page lets you customize several aspects of the behavior of image windows.


6.21.1. Opțiuni

General

Merge menu and titlebar

When enabled the titlebar and the menu will be shown together in one bar. This can be useful to save some vertical space on your screen. This requires a restart before it takes effect.

Use Show all by default

Please refer to Secțiune 5.3, „Show All” to understand this option.

Use Dot for dot by default

Using Dot for dot means that at 1:1 zoom, each pixel is the image is scaled to one pixel on the display. If Dot for dot is not used, then the displayed image size is determined by the X and Y resolution of the image. See the Scale Image section for more information.

Marching ants speed

When you create a selection, the edge of it is shown as a dashed line with dashes that appear to move, marching slowly along the boundary: they are jokingly called marching ants . The smaller the value entered here, the faster the ants march (and consequently the more distracting they are!).

Zoom and Resize Behavior

Resize window on zoom

If this option is checked, then each time you zoom the image, the image window will automatically resize to follow it. Otherwise, the image window will maintain the same size when you zoom the image.

Resize window on image size change

If this option is checked, then each time change the size of the image, by cropping or resizing it, the image window will automatically resize to follow. Otherwise, the image window will maintain the same size.

Initial zoom ratio

You can choose either to have images, when they are first opened, scaled so that the whole image fits comfortably on your display, or else shown at 1:1 zoom. If you choose the second option, and the image is too large to fit on your display, then the image window will show only part of it (but you will be able to scroll to other parts).
