Is there a way to easily size snaps/marquees etc?
« on: November 25, 2011, 10:31:44 am »
Working on my custom layout and one thing that is driving me crazy is that some snaps and marquees aren't taking up the allotted space I have for them in my layout.

Is there an easy way to force this, without having to go in and size every singe snap and marquee identically?

you can batch resize with adobe photoshop or a similar program.  Mala doesn't have any way to resize images on the fly.

there is a stretch option in mala to fit images...but it stretches everything, so if you're using an info window,all marquees/cab/snap images will have the same size...for example if you select a square area for you're info window...a square snap isn't a prob, but marquees :s

I might play with that option Celsius, but somehow I feel like I'm going to end up infront of image editing software for a long, long time, but that's okay I can finally fix all the snaps that Fusion takes to gid rid of the black margins and give all my snaps true transparency.

Now all I have to figure out is how I'm going to get my wife to let me spend the hours its going to take to accomplish all this!

Just an FYI i downloaded this program to batch resize and it worked pretty well..  although in XP I swore there was an option to do this in windows without software... To bad at home I have vista and it sucks.  Nevertheless this worked just fine.

Since every marquee from progettosnaps is already 500 pixels wide for the most part I thought to minimize distortion I would go with 500 x 150.  So far I'm satisfied with the results.  Now if I can just get a layout I'm satisfied with to hold them I'll be in business.
