    True EMF support?

    I find that the enhanced windows metafile support is not true vector graphics. Or, am I doing something wrong?

    I would LOVE to work with vector graphics. I have a software package that saves .emf files, but they are large and need to be cropped. I can crop them in micro$oft paint, but it changes the background color.

    Any advice for me (not a newbie to Irfanview, I've been using it for so many years I can't remember)?

    IrfanView is a bitmap viewer, not a vector drawing package. EMF vector support is never likely to be implemented. Try Inkscape if you want freeware.

        Don't you understand the difference between a bitmap viewer and a vector graphics program? It is never likely to change. At best a plugin could change the resolution of the bitmap that is created when opening WMF or EMF files.

        Use a vector graphics program, then you can edit EMF files properly.

            Could you show a location of a resolution setting when opening EMF/WMF file please?

              There isn't one. Someone might be able to write a plugin to do that, as one can do currently for PDF files, but such a plugin does not exist.
