Mr Lucky Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 It's really nice to see the export preview. It says 25% but there must be some way change this to 100% at least. How do we do this please? Thanks Quote
h_d Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) On a Mac it's Cmd +. Presumably Ctrl + on Windows. ADD: on my MacBook Pro I can also zoom in and out of the export preview using a pinch in and out on the trackpad. Cheers, H Edited February 28, 2021 by h_d Added advice.

GaryLearnTech Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 What Export Preview? Oh! 😀 In addition to @h_d's trackpad shortcut, I can also use the scroll-wheel on my mouse while holding down thew option key on my Mac - presumably alt on Windows? Or, to go straight to 100%, command-1 (ctrl-1 on Windows). Once at 100% zoom (or whatever), if you can't stretch the Preview window large enough, you can click/hold/drag to move the viewed area within the preview window. Not sure if I'll ever use this, but it's good to have learned another trick!

I looked in preferences and in the online help, so I asked here. and got a useful non-snarky answer from @Old Bruce above. In the online help as first resort, searched for export preview , export preview zoom and export preview zoom andI found nothing that mention anything pertinent. I looked in preferences and did not see these shortcuts. Quote
v_kyr Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 You have to change to View there on the bottom popoup menu ... You can also see all of them listed here (look under View shortcuts) there!

Keyboard shortcuts are (for the most part) grouped in the same way they appear in menus, so since the zoom options appear in the View > Zoom menu, if you set the second popup in keyboard prefs to "View" (as @v_kyr suggested) you should see the shortcuts assigned to the zoom options.

ortonom Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 Totally Confused: How can I preview image quality? This is a fundamental feature that really should work out of the box. When I click "Export," the image previews settings should be readily available (see screenshot). I'm stumped. Please educate me. Quote
Hangman Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 Hi @ortonom and welcome to the forums, You can zoom in to Raster image file format previews but not Vector previews, however, there is currently a bug in the Release and Beta versions which results in the Width text entry box having focus when you change file formats thus preventing the standard zoom keyboard commands from working. The workaround, e.g., for JPEG is to mouse-click in the Quality Box in the Advanced section of the export window and then tab out of it. Once you've done that you can use Cmd 1 through Cmd 4 to zoom in at 100%, 200%, 400% and 800% respectively. Alternatively, you can hover your mouse over the preview and hold the Alt Key to zoom if you have a Magic Mouse or similar.

ortonom Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) Achieving 100% when scrolling is like trying to win the lottery. Additionally, once you change the dimensions, you cannot adjust the zoom level to preview the image quality (screenshot attached). I am confused as to why such a fundamental feature is missing from the program. Is it really that difficult to code the ability to "Export image with preview panes" in under 10 years? I'm not trying to be clever, I'm just being REAL here. What am I missing? Edited August 29, 2023 by ortonom Quote

Mr Lucky Posted October 1, 2023 Author Posted October 1, 2023 Now, since updating to v2, this seems to be broken. Export preview is no longer zooming. Is there some other setting that I'm missing? Quote
