Image preview far too large #42

Open turtlegarden opened 1 year ago

turtlegarden commented 1 year ago

The image preview is far too large, resulting in ridiculous amounts of scrolling when using large images and shrinked small images.

In addition, the sidebar is awkward on small screen sizes. Is there a way to pull it up from the bottom (like the previous UI iteration) in order to be able to see the images at a smaller size? The new UI is very good at large screen sizes but does the above at small screen sizes, which is likely not wanted behavior.

Version: 0.4.0

I would love to have an adjustable image preview in Halftone, but it is quite hard to actually implement that.

As I noted in #38, I would need to make a whole new widget, because Gtk for some reason still doesn't have an embeddable image viewer.

The only alternative for that would be to make the image fit in the viewport (like in the previous UI design), but it would reintroduce the issues like scaling artifacts, which would essentially make the preview useless.

In regard to sidebar, I was already working on improving it for mobiles before the new UI landed, but it wasn't working properly for me, so I've delayed it until the next release. It will be similar to how the image properties sidebar in Loupe work.

Regarding the second, that sounds wonderful! On the first, that will require further inspection. Perhaps fiddling with Gdk could be done.

Second part got added in #46

About zoom, from what I've read in libvips documentation, VipsImage is a GObject class which should be relatively easy to embed into a Gtk.Widget. I'll take a look at this soon.

Nice work on the bottom panel!
