Crop pages dialogue does not show dynamic cropped page size

Post by peter_altherr »

I hope i am able to describe my (minor) issue. This is a feature which got lost sometime after switching from V9 to V10. In the crop pages dialogue when i was roughly adjusting the page size by moving one of the 8 markers all around the pages margins a while ago the resulting page size was displayed dynamically according the position of the marker. Since a while i have to release the marker in order to get the new page size show up underneath the page preview. I would be very happy if this little feature would make it back in a future release :)

Hello peter_altherr,

Seems like this change happened with the release of V10. I just tested the last V9 build - and there you have the old selector object with only 4 points in the corners - and when you were adjusting that, the rest of the values were dynamically updating.
The first V10 build already has the new 8 point selector - which does only update after you release the mouse.

I've just spoken with our devs and they confirmed that this was not an intentional change, and that we will be fixing that for the next build.

Kind regards,
Stefan

As far as I can see in version 10.8.1, build 406, the dynamic display of the selection area size has returned, and the request can be marked as completed?
