Zooming in and out in the layout editor is now pretty much vital for iOS projects, with their very large resolutions. Its hard to layout an iPad app, even on a good size monitor, and its next to impossible on a laptop of any size. Three zoom levels would be much appreciated, maybe 50%, 75% and 100%.
I realize that a revamp of the IDE was discussed at XDC 2015, but if there was something we could do in the meantime, it would make things a lot more comfortable.
Please throw some points at <https://xojo.com/issue/15736> if you agree.
This finally bit me. Glad to see there’s a case for this (not so glad that it’s been there since 2011).
Coding for an iPad on a MacBook Air is a pain. It’s physically impossible to fit the “screen” onscreen.
I even tried coding for an original iPhone but even that isn’t 4:3 (and the problem is the opposite: it’s too small and can’t be zoomed in).
Considering the visual editor is only a layout designer not being able to zoom in or out shouldn’t be a problem for the most part (it may be if the IDE draws native controls but I’d be surprised if this was a problem)
