Image automatic resize

Image automatic resize

I wish for an option to opera automatically resize pictures in browser size, when the pics are bigger than the browser window. And of course there must be an ability to make a pic an original size easily.

Firefox and IE has this option, but why Opera has not?
With IE you have to wait some time to be able to make pic larger, in firefox it's just good.

That is my wish

+1

Make it similar (or exactly the same) as Firefox. That works really well. The image menu in IE is stupid and takes too long to navigate.

+1 if...

1.) Implimented as an Option, easily turned off or on.
2.) Easy to see the full image, when you want to.

Instead of another option, how about changing "Fit to window width" so that when viewing an image, it fits the width and height?

There's a user javascript that resizes images: http://userjs.org/scripts/browser/enhancements/autosizer

Hey, lookie here, very good idea. =)

Fit to width works for me with Opera 9tp1

No, not 'nuff said. UserJS is advanced stuff (for most people). No one likes to edit txt/ini/etc files to get the job done. And either way, it should be an option. A clickable, found in preferences, option.

downloading a text file to a directory is some big deal!

Whether it's enough said or not, and whether most people will treat is as advanced or not, you can still get the functionality this thread is about (and more). And it doesn't require editing ini files to work. You enable a feature in preferences and then download a file. That's it.

P.S. I do agree though that default functionality with regard to image handling should be improved in Opera.

Seriously, the implementation of this in Firefox is so simple, and so easy to use.

1. load image (not an image displayed in html - just an image)
2. if image is larger than window, shrink to fit

clicking on the shrunken image restores it to original 100% size, and clicking again fits it to the window.

That is all that is neccessary. An option to set the default state of large images would be nice, so the user can set Opera to leave the image at full size, or shrink it as it loads.

The user js sounds cool, but I'm not sure how useful the other fit modes are. Really I just want to see the image at full size or fitted to the screen.

It would be great to have the *option* to autofit images to window firefox style ie. clicking it would switch between autofitted and normal zoom.

Ummhh... "It's easy to do(add) yourself, just ..." Ok, it's easy for me to do it myself, but why on earth should i have to? Having every user do it themself iiregardless of of the operation's complexity is a huge waste of time. And most users won't still have that feature.

A normal camera takes about 20 megapixels in analog photo. A digital cam does around 4 web images are the worse resolution photography around. Resizing them a little bit ruins much of the resolution.

If I want an image of 1024px resized to 800px I always resize and resample it to 2048px first. Then it looks better at 800px. Then it has a few more pixles to combine the colors from.

Works fine here.

Is there something special to think about?
I just downloaded autosizer.js and copied it to my UserJS Folder
where other scripts allready works.
But nothing happens to those big images.

I haven't done anything special. It just worked.

It's integrated in Opera 9. Click on the glasses symbol in the corner beside the address bar. An additional toolbar will show up where you can choose "Fit to window width".

CTRL+F11 gives the same result in Opera 9, I believe.

If you have longer images or wider images they can be quite useful. Shrink to fit and original size are easily the one I use most though.

I am a great fan of Dynamic image sizer, found at extendopera.org
Oversize images are automatically shrunk to fit.
Single click gives full-size image,
double click fits to height for panoramas so that you can scroll sideways.

Also often useful with email images (use send message to browser option).

First install the UJS Manager - script installer - then you don't need any skill at all to install UJS files.

I have also read of another file resizer that allows you to zoom in on selected areas etc. Also on extendopera.com

+1 Nuff Said.

I don't really feel like browsing the web installing this and downloading that script. I just want things to work out of the box.
It's really odd that Opera doesn't have this BASIC function when it has so many other handy features.

NO. worst explorer feature to opera? NO!

Which does not work with latest releases (at least for me).

Honestly? Click somewhere and then there will be additional toolbar where you have to click again? Are you serious?

Anything non-automatic is not a solution here. Also, anything that requires another button on a toolbar is not a solution.

Don't use it then.

Crossing my fingers for a 10.6 release with this feature!

No Opera 10.60 for me sadly. :/
The Autosizer UserJS is broken since 10.5x as are many other UserJS'. This sucks because I can't do without them and I don't have any clue as of why they don't work any more.
So I guess I have to stay with 10.11 or try Chromium when Opera 10.11 becomes too insecure to use. But Chromiums mouse gestures suck even more.

+100000

Every other browser does this but opera, its really annoying.

*Sigh*. Still not present in 10.60...

Good to know however: Ctrl+scroll wheel is the shortcut for the zoom feature and is particularly effective for shrinking down pictures rapidly; I find it more efficient than reaching for the minus key.

There's also Ctrl+minus/plus.

+10 !

Javascript autosizer:
- works only if javascript is enabled ; I enable it only for few sites of my choice
- requires installation while not adding any functionality that would excuse the installation

Fit to width:
- some images are have bigger height than monitor's height - doooh
- requires at least one action if the button is custom-placed on the status bar or keypress is used - should not require any actions ; want it other way, then YOU make clicking/key pressing

So far the biggest annoyance in opera if not considering broken core features transported from version to version.

All for auto-resize OPTION

Thank God I rarely browse high res photo forums. That would really give me gray hair

autosizer2-01.js works for me on 10.60, but this autoresize large images feature should definitely be an option in the next version of Opera (default: OFF).

And how much will be better if I have to click?

+0 if I can disable it, in all other cases -1

Anyway this can be solved with pure CSS? Because the image.css determines that how to appear the images.

I bet netbooks are really popular these days. 1024x768 is high enough resolution for a 10" screen
Anyway, I'm using thee ctrl+wheel thingy and it never bothered me until this thread. Now I want Opera to do it for me

You do realize that it was a list of disadvantages, not advantages, right?

There are a number of more recent alternatives. http://extendopera.org/search/node/resize

No luck launching your JS on 10.60 using UJSman

Originally posted by Bucic:

But I want to view in original size, not in resized. Therefore, I should click on it once for the original size at every time, if this "feature" wouldn't be possible to turn off.

A simple shortcut will zoom images to fit and back to the original size.

For large photos (4,386 x 2,920 pixels) a zoom factor of 29% is about right for my 1280x1024 monitor. Choose a value to suit your needs, and make a shortcut like this:

f = Zoom to, 29 > Zoom to, 100

Middle-click autoscroll is great for panning large images at the original size to see details.

Yes, it is. Maybe not for you, and not for me, but web browsers are for people (for noobs), not for geeks. Noone likes Linux-like approach - having to configure everything before it becomes usable (despite of Linux users, of course)

A lot of people, including me, are giving workarounds...

I'd just like to bring this "back on target" as it were.

This is a desktop wish-list item. Although, yes, of course, workarounds exists it's not about that. Au contraire, it's about NOT having to use a workaround. An image larger than the current window should resize. End of story. I, the user, should not need to do anything to force Opera to do this.

That is the wish expressed here.

I think Firefox has this one nailed: the image resizes to the browser window, but if you want it in the original size all you have to do is click it. That's well thought out.

Ideally, Opera, as other have suggested, could provide a choice in Preferences:

When images are larger than the window:
[o] Shrink them to window size (click to show original size)
[ ] Show them in their original size (click to shrink to window size)

A choice in Preferences would indeed be a nice Opera plus.

I think it's the wrong way around. With an option that shouldn't be too much of an issue, of course.

So for 1600x1200 image on a 1280x1024 monitor the zoom level will be too low. I think I'll stick to my workaround. I mapped Fit to width (wrong name in the shorctuts dialogue by the way) to Numpad 0 key.

Amen to that! Some people have hard time getting that.

This thread has been quite useful to me to find a better work-around. I now have a series of shortcuts to zoom to a wide range of zoom levels easily. Copy and paste to your customised keyboard.ini if you want to try it and tweak it to suit your own needs. I don't see this thread's wish being fulfilled any time soon since there is already a User Javascript that does the same thing. If it is ever implemented, I would want it off by default.

f=Zoom to, 30 > Zoom to, 50 > Zoom to, 60 > Zoom to, 80 > Zoom to, 100 > Zoom to, 120 > Zoom to, 130 > Zoom to, 140 > Zoom to, 150 > Zoom to, 175 > Zoom to, 200 > Zoom to, 300
1=Zoom to, 100 > Zoom to, 10
2=Zoom to, 120 > Zoom to, 20
3=Zoom to, 130 > Zoom to, 30
4=Zoom to, 140 > Zoom to, 40
5=Zoom to, 150 > Zoom to, 50
6=Zoom to, 160 > Zoom to, 60
7=Zoom to, 175 > Zoom to, 75
8=Zoom to, 200 > Zoom to, 400
9=Zoom to, 300 > Zoom to, 600
0=Zoom to, 500 > Zoom to, 1000

Wow! "Fit to width" isn't very intuitive but is a great option to fit the image to the screen.
