Suggested Improvement: Allow moving index images all the way to the top of the screen
Suggestion: Allow moving index images all the way to the top of the screen
When I index an image with multiple lined entries (like a census or something), I move the image up after I finish a line so that the top of my screen is the line that I am currently working on. This works really well for not getting confused as to where I am currently indexing, but a limitation arises from the fact that as you get to the bottom of an image, there's a maximum scroll limit. Having a limit makes sense because you don't want someone to mistakenly scroll very far away from the image and struggle to recenter, but this leaves it so that there are usually somewhere around 5-6 lines that cannot be repositioned at the top of the image window.
An adjustment of this maximum (specifically vertically) would be helpful so that I could keep moving the image up all the way to final lined entry. It's not a huge deal, but would be a nice quality of life fix.

I use the bottom of the screen for the same purpose for this very reason. Most images have a lot more in the header than the footer, so it's usually possible to put even the topmost line of indexable data at the bottom of the screen. (Plus, this way the column headers are visible at the beginning of the batch, when I still need them occasionally.)

Until you get the fix you're requesting, consider trying the FREE program A Ruler For Windows (AR4W) by Rob Latour. Obviously, you must have a Windows PC to use it. Unlike the built-in Web Indexing Ruler, AR4W stays fixed in one position unless you drag and drop it elsewhere. So you can move the image behind the ruler/reading guide. Consequently, you can place that upper boundary wherever you like to account for the panning limit. Here is a link to the AR4W website. Please watch the video to get a feel for it.
