IrfanView centering window after any resize?
Just noticed this odd behaviour. The option 'Put the window in the
middle of the screen when loading new image' is enabled. But if I subsequently move it and then RESIZE it by dragging, it jumps back to central position. Updated to 4.57 (32-bit) but no change. Terry, UK |

If you have the option *enabled* to center the irfanview window, isn't it reasonable that irfanview re-centers the window upon loading an image even if you have just moved the window off-center? If you woudn't like irfanview to re-center the window every time a new image is loaded, you should just *disable* that option in the settings. |

"But if I subsequently move it and then RESIZE it by dragging, it jumps back to central position." Does that happen in your case? IOW, every time you adjust the size of ANY image, no matter when it was first loaded, it jumps to a central position? If so, are you happy with that? If not please advise, and I'll pursue some cause unique to my PC. It's behaviour I've never seen before in several decades of using the excellent IrfanView. Here's the option again, with my emphasis on the key part: "Put the window in the middle of the screen when loading new image." *********************** |

I reckon that this has just become apparent because I've only recently started using the handy option to centre new windows. IOW the combination of both that and fit to image has caused the issue.

Typo correction: last line should of course be

Terry Ah ok, I see what you mean now. Yeah, same for me. Maybe if you report it as a bug it'll get fixed, because it is kind of undesirable behavior (though I never encountered it myself, since I don't see much utility in the option to center the irfanview window upon loading a new image anyway). |

Yes, I've also disabled that now. 'Fit images to window' suits my workflow and is the important option to me. I'm not over fussed about the initial centering, although I'd have preferred to keep it enabled. But here's the latest response from Irfan, who clearly doesn't regard it as a bug ;-) -------------------- "Thanks, this is the most important info: "Fit images to window" ;-) (but it also happens with fit-to "window width" and "window height") = this is nothing new! The center feature (with these fit options) works liks this since probably 10+ years ... I just tested this in version 4.30 from 2011 ;-) = no bug, the center feature works like this for these display options." -------------------- Terry |
