aavakian Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 First compliments, great job on this project. Very often I do image manipulation in PAINT.NET and I have to move around a small area to get things just right, when the selection is small the 'move' functionality does not work, it stretches and bends. There should be a way to override the stretch/shrink function (by pressing shift or something) that forces a move. Reproduction: Open an image and use the select tool to select an 8x8 area (64 pixels) Try to use the move tool to move the selection without stretching it or distorting it.

Rubrica Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Click outside your selection and drag it. It should work if you do it like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordfish Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Aavakian's right. I got the same problem, and your solution works seldom. Even by zooming you cannot change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubrica Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I'm not sure what you mean, because if you're doing it right it should definitely work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Rubrica meant "definitely", but the point still stands. :-) I think Rick is working on this one, but so far the workaround is all we've got. Just click and drag outside of the selection. Definitely. :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

barkbark00 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 IIRC, this is as designed, not a bug. Therefore, it doesn't need a 'solution'. The correct way to move a small selection is by moving your cursor away from your selection, until the hand turns back into a black arrow, and then move the selection to your heart's content. As for it not working all the time, you can't claim to understand what is being told to you and still think that the program has a mind of its own. This is a permanent function of the s/w, it doesn't phase in and out at Rick's every whim...

Hellfire010 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 ...and in all honesty, is it really too much to move your mouse an inch to the right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
