It's useful in that it lets you scale the window exactly as big as you want -- you're not limited to 25%, 33%, 50%, 100% etc. That said ... > Does anyone ever use it? I don't (partly because I always forget it's there). I set the "Resize on zoom" preference, and usually scale with the +/-/1 keys. > I suggest we replace it with a shortcut to the "Resize window on zoom" > option which I find much more useful. > > Does anyone have any objections to this?

It seems odd to devote space to toggling a preference like that ... in theory, the current functionality seems more useful since it lets you do something that isn't otherwise possible. But as I said, I don't actually use it very often in practice. And it's not very discoverable. I didn't know from the tooltip what it would do and only found out by experimentation. It might be clearer if the tooltip added a few words, e.g. "Zoom image to fit window when window size changes" or "Zoom image proportionally when window size changes". ...Akkana _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
