Picture Size in Viewer Problem

Help & Support
1

Hello all.

I did search and I found a number of threads related to the size of the viewer pane itself, along with posts about scaling vs. reducing image sizes, but I didn't see any in the last year addressing inconsistent image sizing in the viewer.

Whenever I double-click on an image in DOpus and it opens in the viewer, the image is at its original size, which is usually very large. All I can usually see is a tiny piece of the image looking very large. I always have the viewer image size setting configured as follows:

Settings>Preferences>Viewer>Standalone Viewer>Auto-size viewer window: To fit every picture

Occasionally that works for a very short time, but it always seems to jump back to showing images at their original size. Not a terribly big deal since I just have to use the zoom button to bring it down to a viewable size, but it is pretty annoying.

Is there any other dependent setting that is required to be configured a certain way in order to make this viewer image size setting work? Is this happening to other users also? If need be I can post screen captures of my Preferences dialogs so someone can point out if any other setting is causing this.

Thanks for any advice!

Man, I really hate when I reply to my own posts with an answer to myself! Doing that too much lately. Duh...

I think I found the answer to this myself. I've played with this, oh, maybe once a month for the last six or eight months and always just gave up.

I decided to read more carefully every single setting; of course I have read through them all several times, but I think that when you miss something once or twice you must become completely blind to it. I really think that writing the problem down (or typing it out?) does something to your brain. Or MY brain, anyway!

Down that same Preferences page is the setting "Reset zoom level for each picture". I have always just played with the top setting, which is apparently for the viewer window itself. OK - if one of you were here I'd ask yoiu to slap me once or twice -- wake me the hell up!

Thanks anyway folks!
