Pixelkobold Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Hi there I've used the search function but didn't find anything about this, so I start a new topic I find this "issue" very annoying in Publisher, especially because it costs a lot of time. Perhaps I doing sth wrong or I miss a function/preference for this, so I just ask /explain I usually fill my Picture frames via drag&drop out of XnView or the Explorer (under Windows10), because I find this way the most comfortable. So I have a page setup f.e. with a lot of picture frames and I set all of them to "maximum scaled" and "middle". Usually I fill the first frame with a picture and rotate it in place, too. But when I copy this frame and drag a new photo in the copied frame, all is set to zero and the image is neither rotated right nor set to the right fitting. I find this very annoying, since it costs time and a lot of unnecessary clicks to adjust every single frame. Any suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Did you tried using the "replace image" instead? (After dupplicating your initial frame with the first pic). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(After dupplicating your initial frame with the first pic). yeah that would do the trick, but it is not how I like to do it, since I don't always want to use the "replace" dialog which pops up, but instead just drag & drop from the other app (xnview) from the second monitor, which is much faster and easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I understand, but it would be tricky to drop a different image and have it modified as the previous one with same scale, rotation, etc. that could be dependent of the size, visual, portrait or landscape, etc. of the previous image. When "replace..." keep those settings, it looks more logical in my opinion. I tested with copying-pasting effect/styles, but it won't keep or paste the original scale and rotation. A "replace mode" that would allow to drop replacement images keeping those setting would be usefull, perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelkobold Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 yeah you're probably right. thought I don't understand why every new pcitures I drag into a frame is turned wrong way around, even if the original photo is oriented correct. Nevertheless I guess I didn't think through this far enough :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 2 hours ago, Pixelkobold said: a frame is turned wrong way around Did you at some point use the "flip horizontal" button? That's the only way for a pic frame to do this I can think of. Look at the DPI information of your image at the top: in the right way, it displays "... @ 300dpi (100%)", the other way: "... @ -300x300dpi" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
