Bug Description

I'd like to be able to view big thumbnails because the jobcode I'll use to download and rename the images depends on an information I can see in each image; and I can read this information only if the image is big enough.
Ideally, I'd like to set two images per line and see the image at half of the size at least.

I imagine that this is probably out of the scope of RPD and it may cause performance issues.
But still I try and ask what you think about it.

Thanks
Federico

Did you know that if you double click on a thumbnail it will scale the thumbnail to fill the window?

No, I didn't.
But it doesn't help in my case because the spot I must read is quite small and the image is vertical (while the monitor is horizontal, of course).

It would be nice if I could do one of these:

1. zoom in the full window image with the mouse wheel
2. magnify an area of an image using Ctrl + mouse click

The second would be wonderful.

I took the idea of the magnify from Frescobaldi, a lilypond editor which allows to magnify the area you Ctrl-click in the PDF preview. It uses poppler as pdf rendering library. The python code is here:

Just in case it may help to develop something similar for images.

Anyway, the zoom in would be enough.

If you think it's a valid feature request, please change the title of this issue.

Just for anybody coming across this page: I managed to do what I wished using Geeqie.

Damon, feel free to do what you think it's best with this bug.
I think that one of the two features above would be nice to have in Rapid.
