Long Image Mode

Version applied to this wiki:

• Platform: Any
• Version: >= 1.2.0

Long image mode is a mode that auto fit the image by its width if it's height is way too longer than width, or fit the image by its height if it's width is way too longer than height. This can be handy to browse images for scrolling screenshots, panoramic photographs and other similar image materials which its one side is significantly longer than its another side (e.g. Super Mario Bros level maps).

Since Pineapple Pictures 1.2.0, we introduced an "Auto long image mode" option to auto fit "long images". If width:height is smaller than 1:2.5 or larger than 2.5:1, we consider the image as "long image" and will enter "long image mode" automatically when the image gets loaded.

If this behavior is not desired, user can disable it by opening the settings dialog and uncheck the "Auto long image mode" option.

It's also possible to trigger "long image mode" manually when needed. For example, when the previously mentioned "auto" option is disabled, or when the image is still long but not long enough to met the "auto" threshold (e.g. 1:2.4). In the settings dialog, navigate to Shortcuts tab and assign a preferred shortcut to Fit long image action. After that, you can trigger it whenever you want.

Note

"Fit" only happens if the image cannot be fully shown in the view when image scale is 100% (1:1).
