Description Stas 2015-04-07 14:23:20 UTC
Hello,

it would be helpful to have an option to quickly switch between the reduced size preview and the the full size preview mode. While working with larger pictures it is useful to reduce the size to work more fluently and quickly. But for zooming in and analyzing the quality of the picture one sometimes needs to see it full size. So an option to press a button or a key to see a reduced picture in full size would be very helpful.

Since this option already exists in the settings I can imagine there is a simple way to add it to the toolbar actions.

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

Maik,

This file can be not too hard to implement. All rules already exist in setup to drive ThreadImageIO API. If option is add in menu/toolbar, we just need to refresh image if one is loaded in preview mode or in LT.

Hi Barath,

Yes, still desired. If a bugzilla entry still open, the wish is valid.
