> On my Lubuntu 20.10 box, opening gpicview with an image, then resizing the window down does not alter the image size at all; it remained 100%. I can adjust the 100% up and down, and behavior is what I expect. I use `gpicview` on other systems too and have done so for years, and do believe they all act the same (ie. upstream).
This is not what is "expected", i.e. promised by the tooltip and the button's name: fit image to window size. Your expectations are not reasonable: you should expect exactly what the program explicitly promises: to automatically fit images to window size. > Yes following your instructions I can see part of your issue (large window, if image is 127% and fits with border visible, selecting 'fit image to window size' causes it to drop to 100%). Knowing the program's interface very well I'd just hit ++++ to have it return to the 127% This is the problem. Selecting fit image to window size means fit image to window size, not "press = or - to fit image to window size manually". > what I saw is a minor annoyance (unrelated to security). It's core functionality for all image viewers, and for some reason, doesn't seem to be present on linux image viewers. gthumb at least has the decency not to promise what it can't deliver, and the button/tooltip is called "fit to window if larger", which isn't all that useful. You may call it a minor annoyance: for me it's infuriating and pathetic. I wish I could find a decent image viewer on linux that has all the core features of normal image viewers on mac or windows, but this and other broken core features mean I haven't found one over at least 4 years, and across at least 10 applications. This seems like an upstream problem. Do you know of any linux image viewers with this feature properly implemented? Do you know where I can report this bug for gpicview itself (not ubuntu)? I know linux developers suck at UI/UX, and will probably change the promise instead of fulfilling it, like gthumb does, but at least then I'll have done my part. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878680 Title: gpicview doesn't fit image to window size To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gpicview/+bug/1878680/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
