Make Iwarp have a resizable preview
Last modified: 2008-01-22 21:15:00 UTC
IWarp plugin is currently with a default preview with at most 256 x256 pixels. That is too small for ths gae of digital cameras, were 2048x1400 images are considered small. Instead of just changing the hardcoded preview size, I added teh code needed for interactive resizng of the preview (by resizing the window).
Created attachment 55600 [details] [review] Implements Preview Resizing in Iwarp plugin Also changes default preview size to a maximum of 320x320
Should be possible to get away without the resize timeout. Also the code should be using the canonical signal names ("size-allocate" instead of "size_allocate"). But I guess we can fix that after the patch has been committed.
Still somewhat ugly in a few places but I committed something based on this patch nevertheless: 2005-12-05 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org> * plug-ins/common/iwarp.c: applied a modified version of a patch by Joao S. O. Bueno Calligaris that makes the IWarp preview resizable (bug #323177).

The modifications that make IWarp preview resizable are a great solution, thank you. I apologise but I am unable to code what I am going to ask for. Would somebody be able to implement IWarp to be used on the regular work area. Of course this would require the addition of a mesh/grid style selection tool. I understand that this type of selection tool would encounter complications with variable scaling and view but none the less can be done.
Greg, you are basically repeating the enhancement request that is the subject of bug 162014.

My request was moved under 323177 whereas the Preview SIZE is not my issue. I will now be more precise. Preview SCALEABLITY - well over half the time a 1:1 preview is hopelessly inadequate. A Preview ZOOM allowing at least a Maximum of 400% is needed for precision artwork. Most people are unable to work at any reasonable pixel manipulative precision at under 400% - at least for any reasonable time. My work around is to make a copy of the selection, rescale (stretch) it for performing IWarp then rescale (shrink) and replace it. This work around is very lossy and not good enough in most cases. I will reiterate my ONE point to make sure I am not providing the ambiguity as suggested of my original request. WORKABLE PREVIEW SCALABILITY - as in ZOOM SPECIFICALLY IWarp ZOOM and keep working at the higher detail Many thanks, Greg
It's absolutely pointless to add comments to bug reports which are closed. Your concerns are dealt with in bug #162014.
