Make image size bigger or ability to download the attachment? #273

Closed nothing2obvi closed 3 months ago

Is there a way to make the image size bigger or at least download the attachment? I uploaded a PDF and it's tiny.

Thank you!

Hey thanks for checking out Receipt Wrangler!

These both have been issues that have been hanging around that I haven't gotten to yet. At least, the image download. I finished up an enhancement that adds an image expander button so it can be viewed in full screen. Update to the latest version to check it out.

The download functionality is definitely needed. I'll add that too in the next few days.

Cheers Noah

Download image has been implemented, update to the latest version to check it out!

Both work great, thank you very much! Is there a reason why the preview area is so small and narrow? Why can't it be as big as say viewing an 8.5" x 11" PDF? I realize I can select Expand image or 'Download image' but I'm just wondering about the reasoning behind that. Thanks.

Getting the preview size to feel right has been an interesting issue. Ultimately it comes from getting a right feeling for responsiveness. For example, a lot of receipts I scan are long, so then it stretches out the form longer than I'd like it to be, so it didn't make a lot of sense for me. Especially since I used to use the website for the app was available which made long images even worse there.

It is much less of an issue now that the mobile app is a thing since I just use that for the most part.

With that being said I could add, a user preference to use large image previews instead of small ones. Do you think that would be useful for you? So it would display the full image instead of a small image.

Sorry for the late response. Yes, something like that would be nice. Maybe a PDF reader? Not sure what the best choice is. While I have long receipts that would work with the current layout, I also have many 8.5 x 11 " receipts from online purchases or emails and they're difficult to read and are low quality / pixelated within Receipt Wrangler. I'd like to be able to use Receipt Wrangler to quickly reference my receipts, which requires reading them easily. I currently scan my receipts into both Paperless-ngx for readability and Receipt Wrangler for archiving, but it seems like a redundant workflow.

Got it. The ability to view large image previews has been added. There is a togglable button on the receipt images header to view large or small previews. There is a setting in user preferences to default it to large if you'd like.

Let me know if that helps!
