Disengaging automatic resize in picture frames

[Gianni Becattini]

In V1, I just moved and reset the zoom slider of the picture frame, to make the content (image) independent from the container (the frame) resizing.

In V2 this trick does not any longer works. Is there some quick way to do it?

Thanks

Is the thing in my attached screenshot of any use?
If not, you might need to give more information about what it is that you are wanting to do.

Perfect, thanks!

You're welcome.

But most of the times it does not work.

Am I doing something wrong or is it just one of the many bugs?

Can you show us a video of it not working?
If we can see what you do and what you get when you do it then we will have a better idea of what’s happening.
If you can also supply the document then we can test the same workflow on our machines and check to see if it works for us or whether something is ‘wrong’ in the document.

Thanks for replying. The problem is very simple, a video could be misleading (or at least respect to my capability to do that).

I want just to resize the picture frame without resizing the image inside it (i.e. cropping the image). Sometimes it works setting the frame property to none, sometime it doesn't.

AFAIK nobody has reported any bugs with scaling picture frames. I use this feature all the time and have never had a problem with it in v1 or v2. I'd like to see a test document of yours that has a frame set to None which scales the picture content when the frame is scaled.

Sorry, it was my fault. The point is that:

• in V1, the "NONE" position let the image still, or at least so it seemed to me.
• in V2, the image is moved to be kept in the centre of the frame and in the beginning I thought it was going to be resized.

The solution is simple, but with my screen it was beyond the left border and I did'n note it: to get that the framed image remains still, it is sufficient to flag "lock children".

Thanks anyway for your help!
