Update the zoom regularly #40

Closed mayanksuman closed 4 years ago

mayanksuman commented 4 years ago

When user is using zoom spotlight and he switches window using Alt+TAB, the zoom from the last screen is shown even if the screen has changed.

jahnf commented 4 years ago

True, but as it was already discussed in #28 - There is no way around this with Qt features - or at least not that I know of. Since we have to take a screenshot before the spot is shown. While the spot is shown there is no way to get the current screen without including the spot itself. You will see the same effect if you have a video running for example. The magnifier tool KMag has the same issue.

Marking this as wontfix - but keeping it open for now, so other can find this information more easily.

The similar kind of issue is fixed in Gnome shell magnifier. However, their implementation is too platform specific.

jahnf commented 4 years ago

I guess as a Gnome tool it probably has access to the window manager and compositor. Which is of course a possibility - but what about KDE, and all the other Linux desktops? I think for a small presentation tool the current implementation is sufficient.

BTW I have downloaded 6.35 to test the zoom on OpenSUSE 15.1 KDE and it works a treat (zoom keeps pace with LibreOffice slides ;0) Thanks so much!
