FiNGOLFiN 0 Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 the new feature of having more than one image open is cool, however i have found no way to have more than one image open at a time, next to each other,which i need to do. in pnet 2.72 i did this by opening loads of exe's then making them small and putting next to each other. is their a way to do this properly on v3 yet?

crosswalker 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 *shakes head* - because tabs is way more efficient. Especially with Rick's thumbnail tabs. You can have tons of images open and flip though them visually! Go Rick and the dev team!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FiNGOLFiN 0 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 well, its not for me(my dad actually). He takes several pictures, then have to put them next to each other, to make one big picture, with much more detail than one photo would do.

barkbark00 3 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Would there be any way to allow for multiple instances of the exe running at one time...or maybe something like "File>Open In New Window" so its not something that you could de by accident???

FiNGOLFiN 0 Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 he has been currently doing that, running lots of instances, how ever this clogs up the taskbar, and uses up more memory than having it all intergrated into one window...

Joshua Bell 0 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Now that PDN is acting like an MDI app (sorta-kinda), can the Ctrl+F4 accelerator be added as an alias for Ctrl+W ("Close Window")? This accelerator is standard both in traditional MDI applications and tabbed applications like Visual Studio and the latest browsers (IE7, Firefox, etc) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kingben2004 0 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 don't you mean Alt + F4. If not i don't know what your talking about -kingben2004 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joshua Bell 0 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Nope, Ctrl+F4 * Alt+F4 closes the active window * Ctrl+F4 closes the active child-window or tab within the active window Try: * Opening up multiple workbooks in Excel, select Window : Arrange, Tiled, OK. Notice that you have two MDI windows now. Hit Ctrl+F4 to close the active one. * Open two images in PhotoShop. Hit Ctrl+F4 to close the active one. * Turn on tabbed browsing in IE7 or Firefox. Open two tabs. Hit Ctrl+F4 to close the active tab * Open multiple documents in Visual Studio or FrontPage. Hit Ctrl+F4 to close the active document. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

davidtayhs 0 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Couldn't you teach your dad to expand the canvas to the total width and height of all his aligned photos and then create a layer for each new photo? He could then easily align them and then flatten the image. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Westrock 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 A work around I have found is to right click on the other picture and choose Open With > Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Although there have been very few times I have needed to do that its usually when I need to look at the original and make sure my blendings look believeable or to see how much the color actually changed. But Windows Image Viewer is low profile enough that you can open it real quick and drag it over Paint.NET to compare. Plus it will auto-size for you (unlike MS Paint).
