Photo - reduce view zoom steps ?

[cgidesign]

Hi,

I am on A.Photo, Windows 10, Huion Kamvas Pro 20.

The Kamvas graphics display has hardware touch areas. Those are used as zoom in A.Photo. They send CTRL+ and CTRL- to the software.

Question:

The zoom steps triggered by CTRL+ / - are to big. Is there a way to reduce those steps in Affinity Photo somehow?

By default the steps are 25%. I would prefer 5% to get a smoother zoom when using the sliders.

Hi @anim,

I can confirm that the CTRL +/- zoom function is based on the % of zoom you're currently viewing.

For example, at 75% one press of 'CTRL +' will take you to 100% zoom.

However at 300% zoom, one press of CTRL + will take you to 400% zoom.

Equally, at 10% zoom, one press of CTRL + will take you to 15% zoom.

Unfortunately this automatic system cannot be changed currently, Affinity will always decide the amount to zoom based on the current documents view - my apologies!

Thanks for the information. I'll write a feature request then.

Happy Christmas.

Just noticed that I can assign the mouse wheel up /down to the touch sliders of the graphics display instead of CTRL + / -.

That helps. It seems those zoom steps are fixed and not "jumping" which gives a more predictable behaviour.

That's wonderful news, I'm glad to hear this and I appreciate you sharing your resolution for others to see
