Resizing IPTC Info Window Not Working
« on: February 21, 2013, 08:15:58 AM »
I want to be able to make the IPTC Info window full-screen. However, I can only resize the window vertically. This creates a problem as the thumbnail image is too small to see while writing captions. Although, I can click on the image to temporarily make it larger, this isn't practical.

Hi!

You can also use "CTRL-Z"

Doug,

I want to be able to make the IPTC Info window full-screen. However, I can only resize the window vertically. This creates a problem as the thumbnail image is too small to see while writing captions. Although, I can click on the image to temporarily make it larger, this isn't practical.

I have no problems resizing my IPTC Info window to be full size.  Perhaps you could post a screenshot of what your IPTC Info window looks like?  Use the 'Attachments and other options' link when you're composing your reply to this message and there you'll be able to upload your JPEG format screenshot.

Thanks,

-Kirk

I'm attaching a screenshot that shows my cursor in the lower-righthand corner of the IPTC Info window. When I click and drag from this point, it only allows me to resize this window vertically.

Clicking on the "+" dodad in the upper left corner only resizes the window vertically as well.

I see that you're using the AP versions of the dialogs.  I'll see what I can do for the next build.

The non-AP versions have no problem filling the entire screen.

That would be great. My old eyes need all the help they can get!

In the meantime, follow Sven's advice and press Control-z to enlarge the thumbnail without having to use the mouse.  It's pretty effective.
