Is it possible to have an Auto Size option in the context menu, similar to PDFView? basically my question is: can the auto-size feature easily be turned on and off? >>> (As you probably >>> already know, there's still a slider at the bottom of the side pane >>> that no longer operates. >> >> It does operate...it just resizes the icons in the preview pane, not >> the side pane, so it's misplaced.
