[sane-devel] Another merge request suggested for xSane: 'move selection' and 'move screen' drag modes

Tue Jun 9 00:42:33 BST 2020

Thanks Maxim for your time to develop this! I'm happy to see after long
time that someone are starting to modernize XSane.

For me, this behaviour change in Zoom/ Selection handling is really needed,
that you were lead by GIMP's handling, even better. :)

Kind regards.
