How to disable loupe in ex node tool?

[JensLundin]

When using the node tool, a loupe shows up. This might be handy when not zoomed in, but for me it covers what I actually want to se instead. How to disable loupe?

 

Thank’s in advance

Hey JensLundin,

 

You cannot disable it. I understand that it's a bit tricky to use at first as you almost have to train yourself to look inside the loupe instead of where your finger is going. I'll move this thread to Feature Requests as it might be possible for development to add a Preferences option to disable it.

Hi Chris B,

 

The loupe does NOT display what I need to see - it only displays the area around the node tool selection. When moving a node, it's important to see the overall change to the shape of the object, and this is hidden by the loupe only showing the "cursor" and nearest surroundings.

I think it was implemented to aid accuracy but as you say, this is not always necessary as sometimes you need a bigger viewing area. This is an improvement request so it's in the right area of the forum. I'll make sure development are aware too.

Hi Chris B,

 

Interesting way of thinking... Having something that actually works, then changes it so it doesn't work, and afterwards calls it a improvement request if it should be wanted fixed :-)

Sorry I think we may have misunderstood each other... It seems to be working absolutely fine for me. The area is magnified within the circle on my machine so you can accurately place the node. it sounds like you're seeing something entirely different. Can you take a screenshot please?

Hi Chris B,

 

My attempt to be funny/sarcastic wasn't successful I can see, sorry for this 

 

For me personally it's: What ever goes into "Feature Requests" is never going to happen...

 

I joined during your beta period for AP on Mac and have besides from buying your products spend time on locating errors and reporting them, asked for features etc. and are after years still waiting for things on the road map of the products to be introduced... I'm actually starting to expect that there will be introduced a weather forecast and personal gaming persona in your products before "Feature Requests" and road map is implemented (if ever) - Yes, this was sarcastic, but it's my best way to express my disappointment in a proper tone 

 

It does actually makes sense - you need to attract new buyers, and not keep existing happy, as it isn't subscription based pricing...

 

I will wait for the next Beta release before testing further, as the current is totally unusable for me (I have another error reported for this also).

Please don't think that moving threads to Feature Requests means it is dead because this is not true. If we didn't listen to what our users wanted, I don't think we would be where we are today. I've passed your feedback on myself (logged it with development) which generally means it has a higher chance of being considered.

Thanks!

Hi Chris B,

 

Thanks. Please note that my feedback isn’t ment for you in person but for my experience with the Affinity Company during the last couple of years in general.
