How do you select only items within the marquee?

Beitrag von Stokestack »

Hi all.

Just discovered PhotoLine. I created a few vector shapes, and then tested out the selection tool. I can't find a way to select only the shapes that are fully contained by the selection marquee; PhotoLine selects everything the marquee touches.

This is a major impediment for, well, most drawings. Usually you'll have objects overlapping others or surrounded by other outlines, and you need to be able to drag-select them.

I can't find a way to activate this mode anywhere. Does it not exist in PhotoLine?

Thanks!

Options -> Working -> Special
Enable: Rectangle selection only if completely inside

I can also recommend to adjust:
Options -> Working -> Special
Disable: Layerlist with keyboard support
Disable: Layerlist with selection field

Options -> Working -> Cursor
Disable: Scroll image content by mouse wheel
(This allow to zoom document in/out with mouse instead of scroll document in horizontal/vertical direction)

Options-> Display-> Document
Set the Edge Width for both the Document Mode and Picture Mode to 1000%.
(This allow free move image in any position inside window even when image is zoomed out. (Overscroll))

Options-> Display-> Document
Disable: Show scrollbars
