Text size in metadata comment editor? #315

Open sdelaney9 opened 3 years ago

sdelaney9 commented 3 years ago

I was wondering if there is any way to change the text size in the comment editor? The default size is very small, and hard for me to read. So it makes taking notes on papers less practical. Would also be great to have some rich text options like bold, underline, etc.

Is this functionality possible already? Or could it be added?

Currently there's no text zoom (scaling) scaling available in the UI.

Good point though!

Adding it right now would be a bit of a hassle (I'm not a XAML/WPF mage 😉 ) but I plan on migrating the entire UI to a more web-like environment, where this should then be easily doable. Meanwhile I'll see if I can come up with something which scales the text proportionally with the size of the comment editor.

Do note that current efforts are all aimed at upgrading the Qiqqa "backend", i.e. dragging the PDF, OCR, etc. toolkit into 2021 A.D. and that effort takes precedence, regrettably.

If someone else wants to take a stab at this in the meantime, that would be great! 👍
