However (I hadn't tried this before) if with zoom-tool you do Ctrl+click+drag to define "area of interest" then release AFAICT the "area of interest" always remains visible. Possible problem (?) - you may find it zooms out "too quickly". Again AFAICT ctrl+drag-drop a "large" area gives better results than a "small" area. ie. small area vs large area zoom-out may indicate why ctrl+click zoom-out may be giving you problems? > And more about (a) -- while zooming in, the mouse cursor movement is > small, so I can live with that, but on zooming out, the movement is > huge -- it is entire screen. > > The wish: > -------- > Please recenter focused area on zoom out (and possible on zoom in). _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
