Imagine (Lister plugin for viewing img files) v. 2.6.1 July 17 2026)

[ghisler(Author)]

I also think that this is how Lister plugins should work in general. The plugin help also writes:

Return a handle to your window if load succeeds, NULL otherwise. If NULL is returned, Lister will try the next plugin.

You can ask the author to make it easier to work with JPEG lossless transform ?
Add Ctrl+Shift+R (right) and Ctrl+Shift+L (left) - like in IrfanView
Thx

Is that for use in Imagines's browser mode? Imagine so far only supports JPEG lossless transformation with the Tool in the "Tools" menu - not for single images in the Viewer. In the Imagine Viever you can by default use the chortcuts R and L to rotate the displayed image - but if you save that, I don't think that is done lossless.

R and L to rotate the displayed image - but if you save that, I don't think that is done lossless.

try Ctrl+Shift+R (right) and Ctrl+Shift+L (left) in Irfan. This is super convenient.

Try R and L in Imagine...

I tried it. And you?

[petermad]

I did - In Imagine the rotation is not automatically saved - and if I save it, is not lossless.

But there is a difference between how IrfanView saves lossless and Imagine does it (with the "JPEG lossless transformation" tool)

If I in IrfanView rotate an image and exit IrfanView, and then open it again and rotate it back - then the file is identical with the original not rotated file - that is not the case in Imagine (if I compare the images by pixels they are the same though).

...and this is another reason to write to the author

[petermad]

OK - I have written to Sejin requesting this...

Afternoon! With your permission I would also ask the author to write about the possibility to enable panning in mouse mode
https://product.corel.com/help/CorelDRAW/540223850/Main/EN/Documentation/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm#href=CorelDRAW-Zooming-and-panning.html&single=true

To make it work at least like this: by enabling this mouse mode (now there are only two of them by default in the program as we can see), the mode of displaying large files in the window size is immediately reset - the picture is displayed in its full/true size, the mouse icon changes to the corresponding hand, as if grabbing the whole canvas. And we can now drag and drop the whole canvas of the picture, adjusting the output area to our needs. This process just works much faster and user-friendly than the current only option - scroll bar management.

[petermad]

You can configure that yourself already - assign the command "Scroll" as a Function to a mouse button. By default Scroll is assigned to Ctrl+LeftMousekey.

So if you hold down Ctrl and hold down the Left mouse key - then the cursor becomes a hand and you can pan the image (if it is bigger than the window)

than the current only option - scroll bar management.

By default the mouse wheel scrolls up and down. and Shift+Wheel scrolls left and right

I'm glad to see that Imagine has released a new version again.
Recently I enabled Imagine.wdx and used it to display some image properties in column headers.
I found that when I enable the IPTC series of property values(Any one IPTC property), TC crashes and throws an error.
like this:
---------------------------
error
---------------------------
Crash in plugin Imagine.wdx:

Access violation at address 500CA26C. Read of address 077D3A94
---------------------------
OK Cancel
---------------------------
I can reliably reproduce this error every time. Anyone else seeing this?
