Please download my Image viewer and Editor Program

[formulav8]

Hi, Please download and run the Image Viewer and Editor program I made. I made it with VB.NET so you will need to have the .Net Framework installed. Please let me know of any bugs or any features I can add to make it a better program. I am thinking about making it to be a shareware program. But I want to know how well it works and if it is anygood by getting multiple users data before I go through all of the trouble of marketing to shareware. Thankyou for any help you can give me.

Please click here to download it from my website

Not to rag on your hard work or anything, but the interface seems pretty rough to me.

 

[formulav8]

what would make it better? Thanks

It needs a "show image at actual size" option.

Pressing the spacebar shouldn't bring up an "open file" dialog.

Clciking on the image without dragging should get rid of the crop box.

Ctrl+O should be open, Ctrl+S should be save, etc...

There should be a file and edit menus.

etc...

More:

There is no undo.

If you hit "resize image" by accident you have to close the application.

Why are the size boxes next to "resize image" grayed-out looking if they're useable?

Why don't the values on the "resize image" box correspond to the aspect ratio of the image?

Multiple undos.

I have edit menu's with right click. Should the menus be available at the top of the program and not hidden until you right click? What do you mean about clicking on the image without dragging should get rid of the crop box? I never thought about adding short cuts. I will add those Crtl O and, ect.. Thanks for that. Spacebar is usually a shortcut for open file? I do have a similar option to show image at actual size. Whenever you view the image in normal mode, it is the actual size. Thanks alot for your info. LMK what else to do and change.

Instead of the buttons at the bottom, I would use pictoral icon buttons starting at the upper-left of the window, arranged in a horizontal row immediately underneath the titlebar.

The crop and size tools are mixed in with image info on the right side of the screen. I would put the image information (sizes, positions) along the bottom of the screen, or in a separate floating palette. The crop and size tools can either comprise a separate floating tool palette or maybe start a second row of pictoral icons along the top of the screen.

Hope this helps!

Shortcuts to zoom in/out ex. + zooms in - zooms out.

Ahh yes. Thankyou. I will need to figure out a way to implement that someway without having to write to much code. i want to keep the filesize as small as possible. How many undo's/redo's should there be? Thankyou.

Sounds good. Thankyou. How do I know what would be the best shortcut configuration for each of the features? Anyone know of any ordered way to do it or anything? Thanks.

You could use the scroll wheel on the mouse to zoom in/out in addition to whatever kb short cuts you choose to use.

 

[formulav8]

nice. That would be the best configuration for the zooms. Thankyou for your help.

[Ronstang]

[formulav8]

Is that Drano as in #winprog Drano?

To be honest. I really do not have a clue. He just emailed me along time ago and asked me to put up his programs. He has since closed his website. I still continue to host his programs though.
