Not that obvious how to move the PPic window around on the desktop

[EdgarHartel]

Feedback/suggestion:

The first couple of times I used PPic, I moved the displayed image when I wanted to move the window. After a while I found out that I had to zoom out of the image, so that I could grab the window by the only then visible black border around the image. Not the easiest way to move a window... A lot later I noticed that often, but not always, I could grab the window somewhere in the grey area next to the bottom-center icons.

Wouldn't a (optional?) title bar be more practical as a grab-the-window area?
or:
a dedicated move-this-window icon?

Another thing regarding these icons:
Swapping the positions of the "Actual size" and "Toggle maximize" icon would bring all three 3 zoom-related icons together.

Nice touch that these icons have tool tips.

I'm not sure why but it should be always possible to grab the spaces between bottom bar buttons to move the window, which is actually the original intended way to move the window.

I have considered the possibility to do that but haven't done that because lack of time and interest. I originally would like to avoid adding "unnecessary" elements on the UI, which the titlebar can takes a lot of spaces when the window size is small. I do want to add a (probably optional) titlebar in the future but don't have a planned date yet. Since we now have a dedicated issue (this one) to track this problem, I'll post update here once I'm working on this issue.

By the way, there is a fork of Pineapple Pictures that have a system-native titlebar (and some other UI tweaks) that might also wroth to try. See: https://github.com/yyc12345/pineapple-pictures and this fork usually updates (code rebase) after I do a tag release.

Swapping the positions of the "Actual size" and "Toggle maximize" icon would bring all three 3 zoom-related icons together.

Thanks for the additional advice but I won't change the positions for now. The "Toggle maximize" icon will probably gets replaced or removed if I add a fake titlebar btw.

Anyway, the issue itself is definitely something on the roadmap :)

I had a look at the forked version, and have to agree that the original looks neater (to me)...

I'm playing around with Qt 6.9's new API for frameless window, which seems sort of okay but IMO it still quite buggy:

But anyway we should still able to implement a fake title bar without this Qt 6.9 feature, to achieve a "fake" dragable titlebar.

Just posting a link here for people who want to try it out and play around: https://nightly.link/BLumia/pineapple-pictures/workflows/windows/qt-6-9-csd

I still don't plan to merge it for now due to I'm not happy with the result (still a little bit buggy), but just in case people might want to try it out for testing purpose :)
