horizontal zoom

Open edgeded opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

the limitation on horizontal zoom-out is weird. by default it is only possible to have a maximum of ~128bars visible at once. changing ZoomMin in qTraktorTracks.h can expand this. but should a minimum zoom not depend on the total project length?

limit is not 128 bars... it really depends on tempo (bpm) and time-signature ... whatever; higher bpm allows for more bars in view, while lower bpms not... you get the picture.

zoom limits are in fact 10% as minimum and 1000% as maximum; the fundamental parameter here is in fact the one that you may tweak in File > Properties... > (Session) Properties > Pixels/Beat. Long time and standard equation is 32px/beat=100%zoom--by lowering this value you'll get a wider macro-zoom on the (horizontal) timeline; use it with caution :)

cheers

nice! thanks for this solution.

but still ... in comparison with other daw, a pixel-dependent min-zoom looks like a drawback for me. I really would appreciate revision on this issue.
