Version: (using KDE 4.2.90) Both modes make sense only in relation to mouse cursor, however in case of no mouse cursor over the image, there could be used some default location. Zoom here: zoom in/out in such way, that pixel under the mouse cursor is exactly the same (in sense of coordinates). Zoom focus: zoom in/out in such way, that pixel under mouse cursor is more centered with each zoom (IOW scroll while zooming). Both modes need this report to implemented: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196176 I think the current zoom could be dropped in favor of "zoom here" which would make transition from Gimp easier for users. One advantage (as writing this report), Gimp zoom here is buggy (it does not zoom correctly when entire image fits on the screen).
Ack, our zoom handling needs fixing. Not sure whether it's going to happen the way you describe, but Dmitry is working on it.
I guess until recently we had the Zoom Tool which was supposed to do exactly what is explained here ("Zoom Focum"). Probably, we should revert it back...
I add this note on this old thread to add a +1 bump to **Zoom to cursor position** ( aka Zoom Focus here ) as default zoom behavior for the Continuous Zoom toggle mode ( even if I contributed in the past to choose a centered Zoom Tool during the navigation/pan/zooming refactor, and reject a first "Zoom to cursor". Mea culpa ). Reasons : ======== - This Twitter discution : https://twitter.com/manujarvinen/status/481877254252011520 - Consistency : within Krita "Mousewheel zoom in/out" because it works already centered to cursor. Affected current shortcuts : ======================== - Ctrl+MiddleMouseButton+LeftClick (Toggle Zoom Mode) - Ctrl+Space+Leftclick (Toggle Zoom Mode) Test : ==== Mypaint Ctrl+Mousewheel ,and Ctrl+Space works already centered to cursor position, and I could test that as a proof of concept; it works and it ease the navigation. ( no need to perform Zoom Ctrl+Space , then Space alone to pan ; "Zooming to cursor" frames the expected part of the artwork ).
Deevad, Can you test the patch in https://phabricator.kde.org/T427 ?

Okay, we had a patch on phab for this. The interaction design didn't work out, so that needs more work. Scott, Deevad, Wolthera and Animtim need to take the lead here. WISHGROUP: Larger Usability Fixes

I remember I tested something in the past that wasn't working and I probably gave feedback on IRC because their is no history on this bug-report or on Phabricator about it. Sorry about this, and for my slow answer on this topic. I lost it somehow. >> Can you test the patch in https://phabricator.kde.org/T427 ? Hard for me to test it now because I can't find the patch on the Phabricator UI.
>> Hard for me to test it now because I can't find the patch on the Phabricator UI. I found the patch today on Phabricator, and I also found I already commented/tested about it :) It's here: https://phabricator.kde.org/D125#2255
Can we close this ticket? Does the zoom tool that was added to the toolbox do everything that was needed?
@Scott: Let's keep this ticket open: - Ctrl+MiddleMouseButton+LeftClick - Ctrl+Space+Leftclick still zoom in the center of the canvas and not at the cursor position.
The zoom tool is the very important one. It is my second frequently used tool after the brush. But this tool does not work well unfortunately.
The patch mentioned in the phab page https://phabricator.kde.org/D125#2255 has been pushed by dmitry. And I see we have an option for relative zoom mode option in the canvas input settings. Is this bug still open or is there any thing else required in the zoom tool?
I think we can close it.
