Hi,
I’ve been searching for this but didn’t find any post on it, but maybe I missed it.
The images appears very very huge in composition mode.
Also they have a quite big space on top that looks like some kind of offset of the image origin. There is not any line in that space, I mean, if I try to select that space I cant, it only appear seleceted if I select the image.
A couple of screenshots:
*a note on the screenshots: the first screenshot is the width of the page, the second is the whole screen but you see the widht of the page by background color, sorry the mess.
It looks like you have not in the editor given Scrivener any idea of the scale you would like to see with this image and so when you go to composition mode it does whatever it does. Whether what it does in this condition is a bug, I don’t know…
…but you should double click on it and scale the image appearance.
In my installation, if you specify a scale for an embedded image in the Editor, then it appears scaled in Composition mode in the way you would expect.
The editor is able to scale it appropriately (say to 100% width of either your settings or the window dimensions) without user intervention, so it makes no sense for the Composition mode editor to do “whatever”. Hard to imagine that it’s supposed to work that way.
gr, you are right, if I scale the image the composition mode respects whatever scale I put, so there is this difference, the editor has an image max-width set to the page width and the composer don’t. If I scale the image while in composition mode I can see the image scaling all the way up and down, up meaning the original pixels of the image (in which appeared at first, I guess because it is at 72 dpi), and down whatever I put.
I agree with November_Sierra. Maybe there is a reason why editor has this max limit and composition mode don’t, but it’s a strange decision (or maybe there is a technichal limit).
Also there is this strange space, on top, which scales with the image and only appears once the width of the page is exceeded. I mean, while the image is smaller than the page, there is not space on top, when the image exceeds the page width, this space appears and also scales with the image. That seams like some kind of bug, I guess.
The fact that the mystery top-space scales with the image is puzzling, if we are sure it is not just white-space or clear-space which is part of the image itself.
