Hi,(I'm not sure where to post the topic)
My Configuration : Windows 11 Pro 21H2
Qimage Ultimate 2022 / 121 (but same issues with previous versions)

It's getting harder and harder to use "Full Page Editor" in freehand mode with several images.

Some of the isssues :
- First of all, have an image on the background (fit to page for instance, and send it to the bottom) and 3 or 4 images on the same page (different sizes : it doesn't matter)
1) Try to select an image on the page and to drag it -> the background image reacts instead. But you can resize it. (Curiously, on the main window of Qimage, you can select and drag any image without trouble)
2) Select the background image, and delete it. All the page is deleted, and you're back to the first page.
3) Auto Print Rotation lives its life. Set it to off. From the full page editor, select an image, and edit it (with CTRL F and not with right click, otherwise it's always the background image you will edit !). Crop the image. Go back to the page editor. Depending of the crop size, the "auto print rotation" could have decide to move to on, and rotate your image !
5) (without a background image) Add a mat to an image, and after drag the image on the page, the mat won't move
6) ... and many others minor issues.

Besides these issues, Qimage is sitll my favorite printing software (since 2000) Smiley. Great thanks for the job.

Eric.

I suspect it may help if I describe how the system works with respect to images that are on top of other images...

The first thing to understand is grouping.  Grouping is part of mats but is not limited to mats.  If you have a large image with a smaller image on top, they are grouped: actions on the large (background image) are grouped with any images that are on top of it.  So if you select the large image and move it, the image on top moves with it.  If you delete it, the image on top is deleted with it due to the grouping.  If you select the image on top and delete it, only that image is deleted because there is nothing else on top of it.  So if you want to delete the background image, right click and bring it to the top, then delete it.

Second, I can't tell if you are aware of this but auto rotate is a setting for each print.  If you want to turn auto rotate off for all prints on the page, you have to select all and then turn off auto rotate.  Otherwise if you just turn it off for one print, the rest will still have auto rotate on.  I suspect that is what is happening as I've never seen auto rotate turn back on (for a particular print) once you turn it off unless you "Set print rotation" and pick another orientation or you try to force a size change where the size change cannot happen unless the image is rotated.

Regards,
Mike
