[REQUEST] Hand function to move PDF preview around...

Hi Marek,

I've been very quite enjoying FreeCommander, however there is something that has been lacking for so long, that I would love to have, I really need it, and that is important not just for me.

I do massive use of the PDF preview, I guess it is one the biggest features of FC if compared with stock Win applications, however when you zoom-in there is not way to move the PDF with the mouse but only with the arrows buttons or the scrollbars, and this is very frustrating.

In the ideal scenario when you zoom-in, and you want to look around, you should be able to press and hold the "space bar" or the mouse scroll-wheel and move the mouse around, as you would with any graphic editor or viewer.

Please consider to add this feature as one of your top priorities... 🙏

Thanks!

I would also consider to add a zoom on the area when you create one on over your image or PDF.

Have you tried simply press the left mouse button and then move the picture?

Hi Marek,

I took for granted that displaying a JPG or a PDF was essentially the same thing.

I am actually referring to the PDF preview, I manage hundreds of PDF daily check them with FreeCommander it is just better than with any other PDF reader.

Can you add the same feature to move a zoomed PDF with the left button as you can do with bitmap images?

p.s. I am going to edit the first post.

I have just installed 931 and I noticed that you improved the behavior for the PDF preview as well, I wonder if for the PDF preview you can add a shortcut in order to use "tab" or "ins" to switch mode from "image mode" and "text mode" and viceversa, thanks!
