It would be excellent to be able to zoom the view in and out. Mostly in. It would make the drawing tools much more usable.

Hi,

Right-click in an image, choose Magnify from the pop-up menu and draw in the Magnify palette.

Kind regards,

Thanks Mark - I knew about the magnify for the paint tool - I am thinking more about a full-window magnify that would work with anything, including the object oriented drawing tools.

Hi,

If you're on a Mac, you could press the control key and e.g. scroll with your mouse wheel (have a look at the accessibility settings in the system preferences). There's also a terminal command to zoom alls windows of an application on Mac OS X, but I can't find it right now. I don't know about a Windows or Linux solution.

I understand you'd like to see a built-in LiveCode feature for this, but I wouldn't expect to see such a feature anytime soon.

Kind regards,

Mark
