Two issues: cropping and renaming

Created by: nick-s-b

Hi,

I've been using qimgv for a couple of years now and I really prefer the old way of cropping to this new one. Before, you could just drag the mouse from anywhere and create the crop region. Newer version forces you to hunt for handles in the corners of the screen (which can activate hot corners if you have those set up) and it's just generally less convenient since you have to move the mouse all across the screen. I understand why the drag handles are there but maybe the compromise would be to still allow arbitrarily drawing the crop region when the user doesn't click on the drag handles and just move the corner that's closes to the position where the user clicked? Or just let the user draw the crop region and when you detect the click that's not on the handle?

One other issue is that I find myself often renaming image files and then moving them to a permanent location. I can write a script and pop-up a rename box from a script but I have no way of letting the qimgv know that the name has changed and then you can't move it. And since qimgv doesn't monitor folders for file changes, I have to restart qimgv for it to see changes. Maybe there could be a builtin rename feature? 😄 Alternatively, maybe a way to watch folders for file changes with QFileSystemWatcher?

Thanks so much for qimgv... even after all this time I still use it daily and it's still the best!
