Automatic view resize

Hello,

It seems the option "Automatic view resize" has gone from X7 after it was there in the first version. Will it be replaced or not.
I think it's really annoying for the way I work and I will not buy the new version if it's no there.

Regards,

I use it e.g. for my video library. When I find the original poster I resize it to 300x4xx pixels. With this option the total window resizes to 300x4xx without leaving me with a larger window with a smaller...

I can't imagine that it wouldn't be possible anymore. I think there's a problem and they need to solve it. They ask a lot of money for upgrades and they make it worse...

I don't know where you found them, but they're my screen grabs. I always used to use this feature, especially when I was making small web assets. With the changes that were made to the interface it seems...

Hi,

Are you looking for the option in Tools menu, Options, General - Opening zoom, "Best fit"? Not sure if I understood the question correctly. Let me know.

This is an image I found on Google. From what I could find on the forum is that it still was in the first version of X7. However it seems there were problems and they cut it out with the first update. I think working without this would be very annoying for me. I see that update 5 is already out so I imagine it will not return.
Unless I overlook something...

Curious, what does "Automatic view resize" do?
Don't think I've ever tried it.

I use it e.g. for my video library. When I find the original poster I resize it to 300x4xx pixels. With this option the total window resizes to 300x4xx without leaving me with a larger window with a smaller image inside. Then I copy it into a 300x430 window and shift it up or down to my liking. This way I can have more windows open with various images without overlapping and loose focus. Same for my USA images @ 900x600 or 400x600 for my website. I have always used this option. With the few improvements that I would use this is a large diminishment. I always use it in combination with "opening: best fit". When you scroll the mouse wheel the window and image get larger and smaller which I find handy too. I think it has more value when you have more windows/images open.

So it is about the size of floating windows. The window size follows the size of the image and the zoom level, right?

Don't know exactly why but they redesigned how windows work in X7, completely.
The windows now almost work like programs windows, and can be put outside the main application (Draw or PP), and even on a second monitor.
Guess it has something to do with this change. Maybe it isn't possible to do the automatic resizing any more?
