Feature request: "Fit image width to screen width" & setting Desktop Background (wallpaper) as "Fill"
Hey there, i really like this app - the simple, clean yet modern looking appearance (UI) and its performance at handling images. It's reasonably fast - and the Thumbnail panel with Cropped Previews is a nice touch too (like it better than alternatives). Even the Shortcut Keys - are welcomed - since I've been using irfanView for past decade or so - and still no option to assign keys. Really liked irfanView - for its simplicity and low performance impact - but this days that's starting to work against it: was faster than the rest on an entry level Laptop from 2014 but on mid-range laptop from 2019 - it's a bit slower than other apps more capable at using the system resources (as it's the case with gimgv). irfanView's classic appearance is also a bit outdated for modem days - standing out as an old-school app from different time. I'm using Gimp for editing - so was only interested in irfanview -a s a simple, fast and clean image viewer (full-screen) - with basic options - like rotating photos (which happened to be upside-down) and changing the wallpaper once in awhile. And gimgv seems to cover what irfanview is lacking. Except for Fitting image to screen width in full-screen. On a 1080p screen, while viewed in fullscreen - this is how a 4K image looks - if scaled to fit (while set as "stretch to width" - only such option).
gimgv...
vs
irfanView:...
The option to set a wallpaper as background - struggles from a similar issue - lacking the "Fill" position (thus, the wallpaper won't cover the full-screen).
1 shortcut does not do the job? (Fit Window mode)
also what is the exact resolution of your image and the screen?
iirc qimgv's the "set wallpaper" feature does "Fill" by default (without stretching the image)
Fit to Window mode "adds black bars (on right and left side)" - for example:
-stretched:
-fit to window:
Which looks bad "if set as Wallpaper (or as full-screen slideshow)" - but with "Fill" looks good (framed just right). It's same "Fill" feature present in Firefox - for setting images as background:
Screen resolution: 1920x1080 and previous image (with the Moon) resolution 4986x3739 - while the one with the dog is 2048x1365 (since it's a small difference from the screen's Native resolution of 1920x1080 - this one looks good even stretched - but higher resolution images - like the one with the Moon - "look good only with will").
