full screen and original size shortcut

[Bucic]

Hi! I'm new to the forum. I've registered specifically to ask this question. I've been using IrfanView for 10 years now I think and for me it is a great, robust and life simplifying tool!

So, Ctrl+H works in non-full screen mode but doesn't in full screen mode. My settings are to fit image to screen (large images only). I can accomplish this only by hitting F 5 times or so. Definitely not an option.

Another thing - panning big image while in original size (regardless of full or not full screen) is cumbersome. IMO it should be done like in Inkscape and GIMP, by pressing and holding mouse wheel. Can IV be set up like this?

Did you look at the help file?

1 Full screen mode: Show images/movies with the original size (1:1)
2 Full screen mode: Fit to screen: large images only
3 Full screen mode: Fit to screen: all images/movies
4 Full screen mode: Stretch all images/movies to screen
5 Full screen mode: Fit image width to screen width
6 Full screen mode: Fit image height to screen height

Not all users have a mouse wheel or middle button.

full screen - original size shortcut and panning

Can we have both features added?

Of course I looked into the help file. I know a lot of IV settings by heart.

If IrfanView has no way of efficient panning of large images then ok but lets don't go into such argumentation...

I've requested both features http://en.irfanview-forum.de/vb/show...8508#post28508

You can accomplish this in fullscreen mode by using the shortcut 2.

The right mouse button is an effective way to pan images in Window mode, the cursor keys are effective in fullscreen mode.

Pressing F key 5 times?

OK, the panning is great as it is! Just go to Properties/Settings -> Full screen / Slideshow -> use right mouse button for scrolling

One to go...

[Bhikkhu Pesala]

Shortcuts 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 6 work in fullscreen mode. None to go.

Pressing F key 5 times?

No. By pressing the "1" or "2" key once.

It works! Thank you.

[Bucic]

Thank you! I'm sorry for starting an unneeded thread.

[Bhikkhu Pesala]

I'm glad we got there in the end.

There are already several Feature Request threads on a general option to enable customisation of the keyboard. In my opinion that it a much more viable request than dozens (hundreds) of individual requests to modify or add shortcuts for individual functions.

[Bucic]

Me too. I wouldn't want IrfanView to be one of those brilliant programs which lacks one or two obvious and basic functions.

I agree.

I haven't checked lately, but after the Forum software upgrade, the Search feature had disappeared. A number of questions which have already been answered are getting put up again as a consequence, since members - both old and new - do not know whether their question has already been answered...! We await Steve's post that Search is functional again, with bated breath!
