IfranView Question

Is there any way to have ifranview not to open the picture to its original size. Or better
yet to fit the window like picture and fax viewer. It would make skimming through large
directories a bit easier for me. I looked through the options and didn't see anything.
Thanks in advance.

I usually leave mine fullscreen with
View --> Display Options --> Fit only large images to window
....selected. That seems comfortable to me.

Not sure I understand your question, but ..... whenever I scan a photo
it winds up with a huge number of horizontal and vertical picture
elements, and thus it has both a overly large file size and it will be
"too large" a picture when viewed with a typical 800 horizontal pixel
screen or when it is printed. So I most always resize it using Irfan's
Resize/Resample option under the Image selection. Most photos come out
looking good and proper on screen when I select JPG compression in
Irfan and about 600 to 700 horizontal pixels.

Hope that answers your question.

In addition to the specific answers you got -- it's Irfan, not Ifran.
Maybe that's only important to Irfan himself, but what the heck. :)

HEY! It's important to *me* too. :)

and the program name is IrfanView . . .

and now if someone is Googling for information on IrfanView this thread
can be found.

should I mention the book list I'm on - where occasionally someone posts
to ask if they have a valuable rare book because there don't seem to be
any other copies on the net - and someone else gently points out that
with the correct spelling xxxx copies immediately appear? maw, guess not
.. . .

sometimes spelling does matter . . .

Yes, it is important, but as someone who possibly what may be a
slightly better than average grasp of English grammar and orthography,
but who also has CP, I am ready to cut some slack for transpositions of
this kind, since my fingers do this to me all the time. Blatant
misspelling is one thing, likely typos are quite another, and, on a
sort of semi-non-sequitur, until Linux gets speech-recognition
software, Dragon will keep me in Windows, since it helps lessen the
incidence of typos of the sort being discussed.
 
Kindly insert this "has" into the apporpiate place in my previous
post. It rather nicely illustrates my point, but I swear on my
mother's grave (wishful thinking), that it was not done intentionally. :D

I've also seen it, in here, as "irfranview".

Proxomitron has the record, I think. I haven't seen any new
misspellings, lately. There are no "reasonable" ones left (not that
that totally shuts the door <g>). But to date I've recorded:

Proximotron

Right. Now, help me out with "but as someone who possibly what may be..."

Ignore my question, just posted. :)

That's my favorite configuration too.

However, I wish hitting "Esc" once would exit the entire program instead of
taking you to that useless browser. Oh well, I guess hitting Esc twice is
not a big alligator.

I must be missing something with this software, just doesn't seem to
work on many file types...

Hi Max,

The point I was *attempting* to make was that when a program name is
misspelled it is a good idea to note the correct spelling in follow-up
posts - not as a criticism of the original post but just for the record.
Searching for a thread where no one ever spelled the name correctly is
well nigh impossible.

Finding a particular program can be a PITA - even when you *know* the
name - a space or a hyphen can make the difference between finding and
not finding a program.

In addition to that, some programs change names or have name variations.
ReplaceEm (was BK ReplaceEm), and HTTRACK (WinHTTrack) come to mind as
examples where the name variations are far apart alphabetically.

I listed name variations, acronyms and old names when I prepared this
year's Pricelessware alphabetical list. I hope people are finding
programs without too much difficulty. Doing the PL made me acutely
sensitive to the importance of names.

so, again, not a criticism of posts with misspelled program names,
simply a suggestion that correcting such is a *good idea*.

I never use the browser either. Maybe you mean you have to hit ESC
twice to exit if you're in fullscreen mode, Bob?

go to properties and make sure the file types you want are checked - then
reboot. Also-have you installed the plug-ins? they are a separate d/l from the
basic program
