Resizing images

(1/5) > >>

Suggestion,

I'm currently using v0.9.9.16

I noticed that some pictures are far too big or too small, yet there is now way to edit the picture's size unless you save it and do it manually.
This takes a lot of steps.  Is there anyway, you can make it possible when in edit mode to just simply grab the outter edge of the picture and drag it to your desired size (whlile dragging have the size ('X' x 'X') displayed). Or for the IMDB, etc. plugins that are used to get the photos and these photos that being downloaded are say in a long rectangular type shape to have them already resized to a pre-determined size of say something like 318 x 424 or 300 x 400 before adding them to the database, but this size setting can also be manually changed by the user.

It would nice to have an option for limiting the size of images (by resizing larger ones to the limit) as they are added. But this would only impact images displayed in the viewer (i.e., when they're double-clicked). If the images are only for viewing, there's no point saving in sizes larger than the display. Otherwise, the appearance of images is determined by the skin. My person preference is to display all images of the same type at the same with, so I include the appropriate commands in the skin to resize the image to fit the column it's in: <poster autosize="true" stretch="true"/>

I do not want to add too many functions not directly connected to movie cataloging, so stuff that can be accomplished by other apps is not very welcome. I will consider implementing such functionality thou, if many PVD users will vote for it.

I must admit I'm kinda ambivalent on this.
<poster autosize="true" stretch="true"/> suits me perfect. I like them all of the same size, like pharmacy bottles :)
But I understand that this is an issue often caused by monitor and resolution, and someone need just "that piece of information below poster" and have to scroll down for it.

So, if it would be decided to implement such functionality, maybe it would be more convenient to add some kind of a "zooming slide bar" in the top left corner, beside other icons for processing images. Options here would be one slide bar for locked aspect ratio, and the other option would be implementing independent x-y slide bars.

Finally, I think I'd survive without such an option, me personally, I prefer stretched-maximized images.

Speaking of this, maybe a good idea for screenshots would be to add an "Open with..." or "Edit with..." button or context menu action (or an option to automatically open the image in your operating system's default program) so that when users have many images, they can just open the first and flip through all of them quickly in Full Screen mode in their image viewing program of choice rather than having to double-click on each thumbnail in PVD.
