To try to summarize for my sake:

We have 1 vote for full size images (me) and 3 or 4 votes for fitted images.

I can see that if all you want is size info without scrolling, the move to top for the descriptive info will save scrolling for some full size images, (but Get Info will tell you the same thing).

I do not think it matters, if images are fitted, whether the descriptive info is at top or bottom (no good arguments yet presented one way or the other).

Is this pretty much correct?

How about as a compromise we use full size in the Image Tab since it is showing the image as it truly is, but the Image Viewer shows it as fitted, and we move the descriptive info to the top for the Image Tab (the full size one).

That way if I want full size I double click on an Image file in BookBrowser and can see the actual image, but if I want it fitted I instead use the right click Image Viewer option. That Image Viewer option (fitted) will be used when you right click on a image in CodeView so you can always see everything.

That way no Sigil functionality is truly lost (ie seeing the image at its actual size is still possible)..

Thoughts on this compromise?
