Hi all. Most of us probably already know how efficient and time-effective PMView is. In my view, it's simply the best there is. But it could be even better. Here are some small changes that could make it even faster and easier to use PMView for productive work. In no particular order: 1: Cropping. 1a: Users often need to crop to a particular exact size. Currently to do this a tedious series of steps is required: (a) select an approximate area; ( toggle view/show/selection info; © scroll the selection counters up and down - always getting the direction wrong at first because they are rather non-intuitive - or type in the required numbers to get the size you need (even in you move the selection to the extreme top left to save the mental addition required to calculate which coordinate will produce the desired final image size, you still have to remember to subtract 1 because the selection starts at 0 - i.e., type in 1024 and 768 and you get an image that is 1025 x 769!) Very good idea, indeed! Having a DSLR with a format which neither fits to 4:3 nor widescreen displays nor "standard" image frames, every of the many thousand images needs to be postprocessed. I've been looking for an easy way to a) choose aspect ratio move/resize frame of fixed aspect ratio c) potentially create a sequence of reduced resolution images for different applications (email/web/background image...). While c) can be easily done (I'm using Linux scripts with imageMagic for that), a) and are clearly a domain for PMView (which I'd love to use in Linux) since it requires manual selection. |

Sounds great - PMView is one of the things I've been missing since I migrated from eCS and to OpenSUSE. Add me, too. I kept OS/2 on my older private computers, but I'm not sure if I would reinstall in on a new one...just for a few personal programs (and PMView) left as a reason :( In the meantime it would be nice to know how to get PMView running in wine if there's no Windoze installed on the machine? Is it possible? My attempt to run the installer in wine failed. Maybe install it on another Win machine and copy it to the Linux box? |
