1. When I insert images into the HTML pane they don't display at the correct resolution. As an example I just inserted some images that are 720 pixels high. Yet within IQ they only show up about 500 pixels high. I haven't done enough testing to know if the resizing is consistent - but my initial impression from other times I've experienced this is that it isn't. Sometimes images are much larger than they should be, sometimes much smaller.

2. In a previous version I believe a fix was implemented so that images could be resized by dragging from the corner of an image, without changing the aspect ratio. I think that fix was lost, because I again find it near impossible to resize an image in the pane without changing the aspect ratio. Maybe a checkbox be put on the insert image dialog named "lock aspect ratio"?

Thanks!

Can you show the HTML code for the image? When I try it here, images show as expected. Perhaps you have zoomed. Try Menu > View > Reset Zoom
It is working here. Select the image and grab one of the corner handles. Click and drag, image will resize. When you stop moving, the image will resize the height to keep the aspect ratio

HTH !

1. No zooming, that was the first thing I checked before reporting :-). Code below.

2. This one is working, I was seeing the image jump all over the place, and assuming aspect ratio was not being maintained.

<HTML><HEAD>
<META name=GENERATOR content="InfoQube 0.9.81">
<META charset=UTF-8>
<STYLE> body {font-family:MS Sans Serif; font-size:18;}table {font-family:MS Sans Serif; font-size:18;}</STYLE>

Well the HTML code shows that there are no image sizes, so it is displayed in the actual size. Is it now ? Show me ! lol

Here's an screenshot example attached, this is 960 x 767 photo. In IQ it shows up about 767 x 611. This is showing the IQ window side by side with the image opened in a photo app.

Humm... perhaps your screen uses scaling other than 100%

Which photo app is it ?

Try opening it in Edge or IE

When I try to view your image the size is identical in IQ and IE or Edge

When comparing with Windows 10 photo app, they are the same if scaling is 100% and 125% but not the same when scaling is set to 150% (seems to zoom image)

OS is Windows 7, no Windows text scaling, nor monitor scaling of any type - Windows resolution is set to match the monitors maximum resolution which is 2560 x 1600. I never scale Windows text nor monitors at anything other than 100% because it causes all sorts of anomalies in many different programs, where things don't display correctly.

I have several photos apps and the issue is the same across them, the one in the sceenshot is ACD Pro. I've also opened the images directly in FF and IE and they are larger there than in IQ as well.

One guess would be that it's related to the monitor resolution, and that for some reason IQ is doing something different because of my monitors (high) resolution? I'll look on my laptop later which runs at 1920 x 1200 and see if it also happens there.

There are 2 kinds of zoom in the HTML pane.

The first uses the menus and changes the zoom setting for the body element of the HTML. This zoom is preserved when switching between editing and browser mode

The second use Ctrl+Mouse wheel (or touchpad pinch-in) to change the displayed zoom level

Both should reset when closing and reopening IQ however

Is the issue resolved when closing and reopening IQ ?

Yes! When I closed and reopened the image is scaled as it should be. Normally close and reopen is one of the first things I do, but in this case I just assumed when I checked and saw zoom was set to 100% that was adequate.

But shouldn't both zooms be reflected in the HTML view settings (aren't they the same)? To make matters even more confusing, I notice that if I zoom with the mouse, then use the menu commands and then select reset, it resets back to where ever I last zoomed with the mouse.

>But shouldn't both zooms be reflected in the HTML view settings (aren't they the same)?

No they are not. The editor has a zoom setting, the browser has a zoom setting and the document has a zoom setting... beurk !

Anyways, I've added it to the wish list. Initial search shows that the whole thing is a mess and not an easy task.

It's a small issue, I know you have many more pressing priorities! Now that I know how it works it's a non-issue. Thanks Pierre.

IQ now has 2 zoom settings: Document zoom and View zoom.

The Document zoom is set using the Zoom in/out/reset commands. This zoom setting is saved in the document and is used in browse mode and in print preview. Each item can have a different document zoom setting.

The View zoom is set using Ctrl+mouse wheel or pinch in/out. This zoom has no impact on print preview and is not save in the document.

When switching to browse mode, the View zoom is now always reset to 100%. That way, one can quickly switch between an editing (at one zoom level) and browse mode (at a more print-preview-like zoom level)

Any change to either zoom settings is shown on the status bar.

HTH !

Thank you Pierre! The status bar information will make it easy to see at a glance.
