Changing project dimensions, width and height change.

Post by rylleman »

I'm changing my project dimensions from 4:3 to 1:1.66 ratio and I don't quite like how Moho behaves when doing this.
The width of the project is the same before and after the change, 2048px, but the height is changed from 1536 to 1232.
When changing Moho keeps the height of the project to fill the same relative space which gives the effect that the project gets scaled down to fit in height and the work area gets empty "curtains" at the sides. I then have to scale the project up to fit the new aspect ratio which sometimes gets pretty complicated as I have to keep track of all the bitmaps so they don't go over 100%.

What I would want is to have the option to keep the width of the project instead of the height.

I would wonder how complicated that would be. Right now, 1 Moho "unit" of size (for point positions, layer size/position, well most everything like that), is defined as 1/2 the height of the project. It could be as simple as just changing one variable and haveing a checkbox in the project settings, or it could involve a vast amount of fiddly code changes throughout the better part of Moho. Can't really say, it all depends on how the guts are structured. Could be a nice thing it it were possible (meaning not too painful to do).

I usually rescale proportional, but I always have encountred extrange the way that Moho REscale the proyects too... So I think that it'd be a good thing :)
