Īnd it also works here! Brilliant! Now, I cannot click-and-drag to open an image (GIMP thinks I want to add it as a layer), but I'll not quibble over that as long as I don't have to resize the entire window when I open a image.

Then (Gimp 2.10) untick the three save on exit options tool options and input devices for the tool box set-up and window management for the overall gimp size and of course use save options now for each.Ī more recent addition is setting a keyboard shortcut for View -> Zoom -> Fit Image in Window which by default is not assigned. Ī matter of usage philosophy but for a long time, first thing I do is set Gimp up the way I want it to open. That has always worked here but no guarantee elsewhere.

Save the blank image somewhere, add the path to the image at the end of the Gimp shortcut.
Resize image in gimp windows 10#
This screen shot the opposite of your situation, A small Windows 10 Virtual machine. If it does not, then you can automate that blank image to start with Gimp. Does the edge of Gimp go off the monitor? If it does back to the drawing board. Determine the largest canvas that will open from the rulers. Open Gimp 2.10 & size it up to your usual requirements. Trying to edit anything in Windows with notepad is a PITA so gave up.
Resize image in gimp code#
Maybe the code has changed or maybe a bug. It is the same setting in gimprc for 2.8 and 2.10 (initial-zoom-to-fit yes) which is the default value.

My recollection is this was the default GIMP behaviour in 2.8.x. From the View menu is an option to do this same thing View > Zoom > Fit Image in Window. Quote.When I used 2.8.x any image I opened was zoomed to "fit" the available window. My recollection is this was the default GIMP behavior in 2.8.x.

Does this behavior not happen for you with 2.10.x? When I used 2.8.x any image I opened was zoomed to "fit" the available window. This is the image that's in the second screencap of my original post.Īlas, your suggestion does not change this behavior. With the image linked to below, I have to grab the right edge of the GIMP window and drag it leftwards enough so that I can use the titlebar to move the window to the right so I can see and use the left tool docks. Yet GIMP often, on image open, is "drawn" off the left edge of this very large desktop. Which makes this behavior even more remarkable - I have a very, very large desktop. Rich2005 - I do not have dual monitors, only one very large one (acer 24" HD display 123ppi at 2560x1440 resolution). I've looked through the Preferences and I don't find any option that seems related to "fit image to primary display size" or something along these lines. Now to use GIMP I have to move the main GIMP window to the right so see Tools on the left. Screen cap two - image opened and now the left side of the GIMP window is off the left edge of the desktop. Screen cap one - no image open, GIMP primary window almost filling the display (sorry, this is large as I have a 2560x1440 display). Issue: When I open an image, GIMP will resize its primary UI window based on some attribute of the image size and often (!) I end up with the left side of the GIMP window drawn off screen. Do I see correctly a change in how the primary GIMP UI behaves? I don't ever recall this happening with 2.8.x but it certainly does happen with GIMP 2.10.x (I used 2.10.8 for these screen shots).
