Lately I noticed that visiting an image file automatically resizes it
to fit in the window, and resizing the window then scales the image to
fit.

This is a good feature (at least IMO), but:

  . It is completely undocumented, AFAICT: not a word about this in
    NEWS, and nothing in the manual.  So much so that I originally
    thought it was some inadvertent side effect of an unrelated
    change.

  . Moreover, the manual makes a point of describing what cursor
    motion commands do when an image is displayed that is larger than
    the window, but this can no longer be seen when visiting an image
    file, because it is always smaller than the window.

  . There's no way to turn this behavior off, so it's practically
    impossible to view an image in its original size (unless you
    manually invoke insert-image).  It is not outlandish to envision
    users who might want to opt out.

  . The time interval after which the idle timer resizes the image is
    fixed and cannot be customized.  The 1 sec interval looks too long
    to me, FWIW, but if it were customizable, my personal preferences
    would not have mattered.

Can we please make this useful feature perfect by fixing these minor
deficiencies?

Thanks.

Strange, I remember adding a NEWS entry for this feature, but now
after checking I see a NEWS entry in b31a966e88 but it's for another
feature installed in 1805b4cc08.  Sorry for messing up.
How about this:

  ** Image mode

  *** 'image-mode' now on resizing the window automatically resizes the
      image to fit in the new dimensions of the window.

It was difficult to find this place in the manual.  I failed to find
a node about images in the Table of Contents.  Then I tried other
commands to search the manual for the string "image" and finally found
the node about images in an unexpected place named "File Conveniences".
I propose to create a separate node "Images" or "Image mode".

But still can't find anything about motion commands in this node.

It's impossible to view an image in its original size even without this feature.
A few years ago image-mode was changed to resize the image to fit in the
window when visiting an image file.  What I added to this in emacs-27 is
only to do the same (fit the image in the window) on window resizing
as well.

There is an option 'image-transform-resize' added a long ago,
but I don't understand its logic: when it's 'nil' then an image
is resized initially after visiting.  And it has this comment:

  ;; FIXME this doesn't seem mature yet. Document in manual when it is.

Maybe a new emacs-27 feature (resize image on window resize) should
depend on the same option using the same logic.  IOW, first we need
to decide how to disable the initial image resizing, then use the
same solution to disable the image resizing on window resize.

A new option could be added with a name like image-transform-resize-delay.

Something is wrong with that sentence ;-)

Also, please try to make the first line a complete sentence, so that
reading NEWS in Outline mode could be easier.  And I think we should
also say that the image will resize upon first display and whenever
the window's dimensions change.  This is implied by the text you
wrote, but it could be interpreted to mean the size is done once only,
when the file is visited.

Sorry, I should have given better instructions.  In my defense, I
thought it was easy to find that place, since I found it immediately
by typing "i images RET" in Info.

> I propose to create a separate node "Images" or "Image mode".

Fine with me, but then let's describe in that node much more
image-related features than we have now.  The Image mode is nowadays
very feature-rich, and most of those features are not in the manual.

> But still can't find anything about motion commands in this node.

Sorry.  It's this text:

                                                     If the displayed
  image is wider or taller than the frame, the usual point motion keys
  (‘C-f’, ‘C-p’, and so forth) cause different parts of the image to be
  displayed.

Maybe so, but Emacs 26 still shows the images in their original size,
AFAICT.  So this is new in Emacs 27, at least for me.  I think that's
because previously the automatic resizing worked only in Emacs built
with ImageMagick, whereas in Emacs 27 we can resize natively.  I build
my Emacs without ImageMagick, and I wonder how many others do, due to
ImageMagick's instability.

Isn't it possible to have an option or a special command to visit an
image without the automatic resizing?  E.g., "C-u C-x C-f" could do
that for image files.

Well, even if the window-relative resizing was not the cause of the
scaling, I think we should allow to disable such resizing, because in
Emacs 27 much more people will be exposed to this feature.

AFAIU, it was implemented for ImageMagick only, and so it should be
rethought nowadays.

That's possible, yes.  My point is that we should have an option to
disable the resizing, so perhaps using this option as that knob will
do.  The resizing could be annoying in some special situations, for
example when the same image is displayed in two adjacent windows --
when you enlarge one window, the image shrinks because the other
window shrinks.

Let's do that on the emacs-27 branch, please.

TIA

Please see in commit 4df8a61117 if everything is correct
according to your comments.

Yes, all its features will be described in the node that I added in the
same commit.

Oh, I looked for the word "larger" but missed its hyponyms
"wider" and "taller", sorry.

I'm not sure how it could be new in Emacs 27 because
image-transform-resize was added in year 2014.

Better would be to have two ways to view an image without the
automatic resizing:

1. an option to disable automatic resizing permanently.
   There is already a defvar 'image-transform-resize'
   but its 'nil' value doesn't disable automatic resizing,
   so a new defcustom is needed.  Please see it below.

2. an easy to type key in image-mode-map to toggle automatic resizing.
   Some programs use 'F' key for "Best Fit" but 'F' is already used
   in image-mode-map for image-goto-frame.

Also there are no keys for image-transform-fit-to-width,
image-transform-fit-to-height and image-transform-reset.
I thought about using a prefix key 'f', so using 'f w' to fit width,
but 'f' is already taken too.

But anyway their docstrings say:

  This command has no effect unless Emacs is compiled with
  ImageMagick support.

So these commands should be fixed to work without ImageMagick.

Then three new defcustoms like these could be added:

(defcustom image-resize t
  "Non-nil to resize the image upon first display.
Its value should be one of the following:
 - nil, meaning no resizing.
 - t, meaning to fit the image to the window height and width.
 - `fit-height', meaning to fit the image to the window height.
 - `fit-width', meaning to fit the image to the window width.
 - A number, which is a scale factor (the default size is 1)."
  :type '(choice (const :tag "No resizing" nil)
                 (other :tag "Fit height and width" t)
		 (const :tag "Fit height" fit-height)
		 (const :tag "Fit width" fit-width)
		 (number :tag "Scale factor" 1))
  :version "27.1"
  :group 'image)

(defcustom image-window-resize t
  "Non-nil to resize the image whenever the window's dimensions change."
  :type 'boolean
  :version "27.1"
  :group 'image)

(defcustom image-window-resize-delay 1
  "Number of seconds to wait before resizing according to `image-window-resize'."
  :type 'integer
  :version "27.1"
  :group 'image)

If this looks good, I could send a complete patch.

's' ("scale") is free, used e.g. by the imv image viewer to cycle
between different scaling modes (original size, shrink/fit to window).

Before Emacs 27 any image scaling and rotation required imagemagick.
Emacs 27 can (mostly) handle it without imagemagick now. So yes, this
behaviour is new to people who don’t build with imagemagick.

It should generally be a case of removing any checks for imagemagick
since the dependence on it is no longer there. In some cases I think
the docstring says it relies on imagemagick, but the function works in
Emacs 27 without it anyway.

It's new for me, because I build Emacs without ImageMagick.

Thanks for the suggestion.  So I added these keys:

s f		image-mode-fit-frame
s h		image-transform-fit-to-height
s w		image-transform-fit-to-width
s r		image-transform-set-rotation
s 0		image-transform-reset
s s		image-transform-set-scale

But then I discovered that doc-view uses other keys:

s b             doc-view-set-slice-from-bounding-box
s m             doc-view-set-slice-using-mouse
s r             doc-view-reset-slice
s s             doc-view-set-slice

and

F               doc-view-fit-window-to-page
H               doc-view-fit-height-to-window
P               doc-view-fit-page-to-window
W               doc-view-fit-width-to-window

Is it important to maintain compatibility between doc-view and image-mode?

There was only one conflicting key is 'F' that is bound to image-goto-frame
in image-mode-map, and now the prefix 's' is different too.

Aha, this explains everything because I used imagemagick in older versions.

So I removed checks for imagemagick and mentions from docstrings
after confirming that all commands work in Emacs 27 without imagemagick.

After testing these commands it became clear that they all already work
without ImageMagick, so I just removed mentions of ImageMagick
from docstrings and these conditionals from menus:

	 :visible (eq image-type 'imagemagick)

So what remains to do in emacs-27 is to add defcustoms.

As for master, there is much work remains to do to fix the mess
what is image-mode currently is:

1. Figure out why there are two rotating commands:
   image-rotate bound to 'r' in image-map, and
   image-transform-set-rotation in image-mode.

2. Try to make sense out of commented code:

    ;; Not yet implemented.
    ;; (defvar image-transform-minor-mode-map
    ;;   (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
    ;;     ;; (define-key map  [(control ?+)] 'image-scale-in)
    ;;     ;; (define-key map  [(control ?-)] 'image-scale-out)
    ;;     ;; (define-key map  [(control ?=)] 'image-scale-none)
    ;;     ;; (define-key map "c f h" 'image-scale-fit-height)
    ;;     ;; (define-key map "c ]" 'image-rotate-right)
    ;;     map)
    ;;   "Minor mode keymap `image-transform-mode'.")
    ;;
    ;; (define-minor-mode image-transform-mode
    ;;   "Minor mode for scaling and rotating images.
    ;; With a prefix argument ARG, enable the mode if ARG is positive,
    ;; and disable it otherwise.  If called from Lisp, enable the mode
    ;; if ARG is omitted or nil.  This minor mode requires Emacs to have

    ;;   nil "image-transform" image-transform-minor-mode-map)

It seems image-window-resize and image-window-resize-delay could be
combined into one defcustom that will be either nil or number, will post
the patch ASAP.

I see, that's unfortunate.

I don't use doc-view mode, but consistency seems important, esp. given
that its keymap iherits from image-mode-map.

OTOH I really like grouping similar functionality to a common prefix, as
it helps both mnemonics and discoverability/documentation, so I think
I'd prefer changing doc-view mode to follow image-mode's example here;
possibly changing the s prefix to something else (in the parent, i.e.
image-mode) so it doesn't conflict with the slice prefix. But changing
UI defaults is always a delicate matter...

I think it's more important to align the keybinding of those two modes
than it is to preserve existing key bindings.

I'd name this something like image-auto-resize-on-window-resize.  the
"keep" part has lower mnemonic value, IMO.

I agree, but I don't think it's a catastrophe: after all, doc-view is
not really about showing images.

Now pushed patch to emacs-27 after renaming to image-auto-resize-on-window-resize,
and updated the documentation.  Please check if everything is right in the manual.

Some unfinished code in image-mode.el

  ;;     ;; (define-key map "c f h" 'image-scale-fit-height)
  ;;     ;; (define-key map "c ]" 'image-rotate-right)

uses the prefix "c", but I see no mnemonics in "c".

There is some mnemonics in the prefix "t" (transform):

  t 0		image-transform-reset
  t b		image-transform-fit-both
  t f		image-mode-fit-frame
  t h		image-transform-fit-to-height
  t r		image-transform-set-rotation
  t s		image-transform-set-scale
  t w		image-transform-fit-to-width

but I'm still not sure if this is the best possible outcome.

's' is too good prefix key to give up on so easily.
It has nice mnemonics:

s h		set height
s w		set width
s r		set rotation
s s		set scale

So if preserving old keybindings is not a requirement,
then doc-view slice commands could be rebound to the prefix 'c'
that has good mnemonics too, where 'c' means 'cut', 'clip'.

@Tassilo: Do you agree this would be a change for the better?
