[Feature Request] Larger Crop Window / Page Navigation

Post by Special »

I use the cropping feature a lot, but there are 2 nagging issues I have with it and if these could get resolved, well I would have no nagging issues then. :)

First I think the window that pops up when cropping could be larger, well the image preview part of the page being cropped, large would mean for easier fine tuning of the page margins. Makes sense right?

Current
Image

Larger (probably a better way for your UI guys to implement this (but that's their job, haha), as the text on the left is such wasted space with my 2 second MSPaint job, but the key point here is that the page preview image part is larger)
Image


Second is page navigation, it would be very convenient if I was able to flip through pages while "Current Page" was selected like how "All" works. (this will need pictures me thinks.)

When "All" is selected, you are able to flip between pages with the keyboard arrows / just clicking the numbers with a mouse, this is great but I don't want to Crop All!
Image

I instead want individual Page Cropping, unfortunately page navigation is non-existent like the way it works with the above, and this slow things down a lot.

There I think I explained what I wanted to about my 2 feature requests/usability improvements, now just don't let me down guys, I need this! Others probably want it too.

Hi Special,

The Crop Tool was implemented some time ago for more precise visual cropping.
As for the Current Page and Index Navigator - it's meant to work like that and we will not change it's logic.

Hello Special,

The Crop Pages dialog and some other dialogs with previews will now be re-sizable from the next build (316).

Cheers,
Alex

Awesome that this is now implemented, I only just noticed now that I'm back at working with PDF's.

One small thing though, can the resized windows remember their size in the settings file? Each time I load up the Editor I need to resize the window.

Hi David, Special,

It's nice that you can resize that indeed, and I will pass the request for the resized window to be remembered to the devs.
#3455: FR: Editor to remeber the resized "crop pages" window size.

Cheers,
Stefan
