OT: Unable to view Dropbox images at correct resolution...

[Pimpom]

I posted this question in the Dropbox forum more than a week ago
but the problem remains unsolved. The two replies from a
moderator were just requests for more details.

This is the thread:
https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-files-folders/Unable-to-view-images-at-correct-resolution/m-p/447798#M168358

Here\'s a sample image. It will be nice if you could let me know
if you can view it at the correct size of 300x250 pixels which
should show as a small sharp image. I can see only a large blurry
display.

first correct size, then it zooms in to fit the window (~300%),
then the side bar comes up and it is zoomed to ~200%

only zoom (+) works

I copied the image, into Irfanview, and it\'s 300 x 250 x 24 there. It
looks about the same in Firefox and Irfanview.

They must have been drunk when they coded that.

If you click on the scale value it zooms back
to unit scale, which is of course all it should
have done from the get-go.

yeh, hovering/clicking the value alternates between \"zoom to fit\" and \"view actual size\"

At least it does that now, that is, get it to 100% when I click
the zoom scale. It didn\'t work before. I tried everything I could
think of. Maybe they\'re working on it and this is a work in progress.

At least that works now. It didn\'t before. Maybe they\'re working

I didn\'t use Dropbox for quite some time (>1 year) and it didn\'t
behave this way before that.

Downloading or just copying an image to a viewer always got it in
the correct size. The problem is in viewing it on the site. I
tried it with Chrome and Firefox and the results were the same.

At least *now* it\'s possible to view at 100% by clicking on the
zoom scale, as someone mentioned. That didn\'t work before.

It has got a rescale to window script lurking in there somewhere.
Behind it is the 300x250 PNG image which is accessible to save.

to unit scale, which is of course all it should

I think they intended to be helpful but it does bad things to line art.

The zoom doesn\'t work for me. Right click and \"view image\" gets me the photo alone and I can do with it what I want without saving it to disk which is always a PITA.

This is about on the level of recognizing a voltmeter input can, in some circumstances, drain a battery more than expected.

\"Right click and view image\" in Firefox (Right click and \'open

everything I could think of and this was one of the first things
I tried.

As I said in reply to someone else, they must be working on it
and partially fixed it. It would still be better if the image was
shown at the correct resolution to start with *and* the zoom
button worked in both directions.

Pops up at 171% filling about 2/3 of a 124x768 screen.
No ulra-sharp,but not blurry either.

I think they intended to be helpful but it does bad things to line art.

The image is rendered in different sizes and locations in the window
at least four or five times before finally staying put. This isn\'t
helpful. It\'s a mess.

Simple is better.

If you have right clicked an opened the image file in another tab, anything further is not a problem with drop box. At that point it is just an image. The problem with zoom is in your browser. I\'m using Firefox and my zoom works fine.

When I open it as an image it is small at 100%. I have to magnify it to see any detail, but I guess my eyes are older than yours.

Not trying to give you a hard time, but like the guy with the battery drain issue, you should be familiar enough with viewing images in a browser that this isn\'t a problem you can\'t diagnose.

I think we are not communicating still. I don\'t know how an image in the browser window would not work with zoom.

You\'re right in that we are not communicating. Let me address
your points as follows (I don\'t like interleaved replies if it
can be avoided)

Right-clicking and viewing in another tab works NOW, not before.
That is, it now displays at 100% in another tab. It didn\'t work a
few days ago.

I use both Chrome and Firefox. The problem was exactly the same
with both browsers. When I talk about zooming, I mean the zoom
buttons provided by Dropbox, *not* the browsers\' zoom feature.

I\'ve been in electronics for >50 years. I\'m lucky to still have
reasonably good eyesight. I can still read a newspaper without
glasses on my verandah during the day. I use glasses only for
close-up work like soldering SMDs and for reading in
less-than-good light.

This isn\'t about zooming with a browser. It\'s about the site\'s
zooming tool which controls the image alone, not the whole page.

When I used Dropbox more than a year ago, the site\'s zoom tool
worked as expected. An image could be zoomed in or out without
having to open it in another tab.

button worked in both directions.

If you have right clicked an opened the image file in another tab, anything further is not a problem with drop box. At that point it is just an image. The problem with zoom is in your browser. I\'m using Firefox and my zoom works fine.

When I open it as an image it is small at 100%. I have to magnify it to see any detail, but I guess my eyes are older than yours.

Not trying to give you a hard time, but like the guy with the battery drain issue, you should be familiar enough with viewing images in a browser that this isn\'t a problem you can\'t diagnose.

I think we are not communicating still. I don\'t know how an image in the browser window would not work with zoom.


You\'re right in that we are not communicating. Let me address
your points as follows (I don\'t like interleaved replies if it
can be avoided)

Right-clicking and viewing in another tab works NOW, not before.
That is, it now displays at 100% in another tab. It didn\'t work a
few days ago.

I use both Chrome and Firefox. The problem was exactly the same
with both browsers. When I talk about zooming, I mean the zoom
buttons provided by Dropbox, *not* the browsers\' zoom feature.

I know what you are talking about. I\'m telling you how to work around the problem rather than being limited to thinking about the issue one way. If you wait for Dropbox to improve their UI you may be waiting a long time. I have my own web site and can post anything I want in a directory that I can share with everyone or just one person by the use of a password if I want. Sooooo... much better than dropped the box.

I\'ve been in electronics for >50 years. I\'m lucky to still have
reasonably good eyesight. I can still read a newspaper without
glasses on my verandah during the day. I use glasses only for
close-up work like soldering SMDs and for reading in
less-than-good light.

This isn\'t about zooming with a browser. It\'s about the site\'s
zooming tool which controls the image alone, not the whole page.

I\'m talking about zooming just the image because that\'s all that will be in the tab if you open the image in a new tab. Dropbox won\'t be able to influence that in any way, shape or form.

When I used Dropbox more than a year ago, the site\'s zoom tool
worked as expected. An image could be zoomed in or out without
having to open it in another tab.

I really don\'t care about dropbox and around 99% of the other web sites on the Internet. Most are crap and barely work at all. I was at vendor\'s web site over the weekend that couldn\'t serve up their main page without reporting a 404 error. It was polite enough to present me with a very pretty error page however.

Google Groups is a perfect example. This site sucks slime, but I use it with all its warts because I am tired of messing with crap software for reading newsgroups. It may suck, but I never have to worry about it getting blown away and having to reinstall it.

With as many warts as Dropbox I tolerate GG because it is the shortest path between two points.

Don\'t expect Dropbox to be fixed anytime soon.
