Hi there! I realy missed the magnifying glass feature from the old kdvi, which comes very handy if you are doing typesetting. So I finaly told myself to hack it in and here comes the patch for it. The 01-hack.patch is allowing the document to render big pixmaps for non tiled views. The rest is quite straightforward. The magnifier can scroll the view "apropriately", doesn't fall of the edges and hovers correctly from one page to another. So the remaining question is, what is the status of this: core/document_p.h:213 "// FIXME This is a hack, we need to support multiple tiled observers, but for the moment we only support one" Is someone working on it? Reproducible: Always

I can't find the commit right now, but Okular nowadays does have a magnifying glass. It's the 6th entry in the 'extras' menu. Hence I propose to close this bug.
