Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual

We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.

Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.

 

[Solved] Zoom out on Mac

Hi Mabula, I understand that zooming in and out on the preview screen when working with Windows is just a matter of left and right clicking.

Since I'm working with an iMac, there's only one mouse button to click. Zooming in isn't a problem, but is there a way of zooming out? I tried almost any key combination (alt, ctrl, shift etc.) but the only way to go back to a full view is clicking on another file in the list and then clicking the original file again.

HI Jeroen,

Okay, this is a new one for me 😉

So your iMac mouse only has one button.

Would it be the easiest if I map the zoom in/out to  + / - buttons on the keyboard perhaps?

And you don't need to load a new frame first. Above the image viewer, there is a dropdownbox

ImageViewerModes

The right dropdown box can reload your image directly, just reselect the current setting of linear(l) to reload the linear raw data directly.

The "scale selectbox" means scale to fit.

Is this a very old Mac mouse by any chance? Because you can set it to use a right-mouse click by using 2 fingers if I'm not mistaken, on fairly new versions (as in since 2008 or so). You can set this in the OSX preferences.

I'm using a brand new iMac. The bluetooth mouse I have only has one button, but can be set to 2 buttons in the preferences indeed. That did the trick! I was so used to only using one button that I forgot about these settings, also because the mouse has a lot of other options (like swiping with one or two fingers) I use a lot.

Excellent 😉

Would mapping zoom in/out to +/- keys still be of some use?

You can activate your second mouse "button" in System Preferences / Mouse / Secondary -> Click on right side ... this should solve your issue and the default mouse behaviour of Mac OS.

Sorry, indeed, it was already solved, I didn't refresh my topic window (with the answers already given).

Mabula - yes, an alternate of having keyboard +/- keys would be a very useful zoom in/out feature - even for those of us who have right and left mouse buttons.  The other one that I've found to be quite intuitive for zooming is up and down arrow keys (instead of +/-).  On a lot of laptops there isn't a separate numeric keypad, so the + key is a Shift-Equal and is a bit more awkward to use.

@Marc, no problem 😉

@Scott, okay, i'll try to map the zooming function to the up and down keys, I agree, that it will be easier with smaller keyboards.
