3 Silent failure with small pictures - ID: 2807051

Last Update: Comment added ( cedars )

Details:

Opening an existing 3x15 px picture works fine. Creating a new picture of
the same dimensions does not work: the dialog simply does not respond.
Trying to scale an existing image to anything below 10 px in width goes
through without complaint but does nothing, even when the original was
smaller.

Pictures under ten pixels wide are abundant in web development. Making a
program that does not support them properly is strange. Arbitrarily failing
operations without notice is very bad practice.

Date: 2009-06-22 03:10 Sender: nobody I agree. It seems the min resolution is 9px, which is very frustrating. Any good image editor should support images with dimensions down to 1px, which is definitely not unreasonable. For example, 1px wide images are commonly used as background gradients on web pages. In file SeaResolution.m: // Don't do if values are unreasonable or unchanged if ([forceSquare state]) newRes.y = newRes.x; if (newRes.x < 9) { NSBeep(); return; } if (newRes.y < 9) { NSBeep(); return; } I'm guessing the issue with small image sizes is that it is hard to click on the images, but the solution to that is to allow clicking off the canvas, which is another feature that many image editing programs support.
