how to center a opened file in the workspace ?

[Michael REMY]

hi,

i use PSP 2018 on win7 x64.

Each time i open a image, it's positionning at the left in the workspace.


At my desk, i'm sitting in front of my wide screen, i'm centered myself ! so i wish to not turn left my head (or move the picture to the center each time) !

is there any option to display it in the center of the workspace ?

best regards

If you use the tabbed interface then the image is always centered. But windowed, I don't think so.

True, but you forgot to tell OP where to start viewing images in Tab mode. Go to Window > Tabbed Documents to invoke the feature.

i already tried it but it is not a good solution .
when you work on 2 pictures, the tab are not open side-by-side, you need to click and re-click to switch and view both image in the same time, and 3 images is a hell to work with tabed mod.

The feature which is missing is an auto-adaptative-choice of the mode.
opening one picture --> auto to tabbed mode
opening two pictures or 3 which can fit the screen --> auto to window-mode but they must be in-line side-by-side
opening many pictures which can fit the lenght of the workspace/screen ,then auto to tabbed mode


in fact, when you open 1 photo, the "tile verticaly" feature does the job but is not auto, you need to run it yourself (moreover i don't know why but the window fit the screen with useless blank space whereas it should not do that and only center the windows).

The tile routines should auto turn off tabbed mode. Doesn't really help of course. I never use windowed mode.

Scripts cannot control the various Windows. But can call commands. How do you usually open a new image? If you use the open command itself then a script could be created that used the open command, and then auto tiled or maximized the image depending how many images were opened. But that is probably the best I could offer. PSP will not do any of this automatically.

i use window mode since 25years of photo editor, i only use tabbed interface into text editor.

i always open a picture from out of PSP; by this i mean i am in my windows explorer, i select the files and use "open with" or "send to ..PSP" contextual menu. Si i guess windows transcode this by a script to run the .ex and adding it the files in parameter....

i only open PSP first when i create a new picture from blank.
