[REQUEST] More zoom levels

[skeddles]

Right now it's capped at 8x (like the original). Photoshop goes up to 32x, and even that is sometimes too small. More zoom would make pixel art easier.

I agree, especially when your editing png's or something from pixel games wich usually just draw really big pixels instead of a colletion of small pixels (ex: 5x5 pixels instead of 1024x1984 pixels)

Not sure if this was added since, but there is a custom zoom option hidden in the menu

considering the input box turns red when above the intended max zoom I'm not sure it's intended behavior, but it does work.

@skeddles Is this request for more zoom levels in the tool options box, or do you have something else in mind? I want to keep most areas of the app looking identical to MS Paint (by default).

[skeddles]

Yes, it would be much more user friendly if it was in tools options box. Sure it wouldn't look identical to paint, but it wouldn't look out of place to people unless they compared them, and it would make using the app easier to use. When making pixel art it's common to frequently zoom in and out, and the custom zoom window would be far too hard to use regularly.

Though if you really didn't want to alter the interface, perhaps you could implement a hotkey for zooming (ctrl or alt + scroll) which could allow you to go higher.

You can zoom up to 10x, old mspaint bug (with hidden 10x zoom) is preserved. If you need more, you can use browser zoom ATM.

I've just released a big update including Alt+Scroll zooming, pinch zooming for mobile, as well as the Thumbnail view (the last missing menu item, View > Zoom > Show Thumbnail)

[skeddles]

Awesome! Alt+scroll works great
