Zoom slider control for charts and diagrams
It would be great to have zoom slider controls added for when viewing charts and diagrams. This would be far more convenient than having to click on '+' or '-' buttons continuously.

Re: Zoom slider control for charts and diagrams
Did you know you can press the keyboard number pad + or - keys or use Ctrl+L and Ctrl+K, which are possibly even easier than a slider that you have to mouse over.
Those keyboard shortcuts are given in the Diagram > Zoom menu text.

Thanks Mike. Useful to know. Still think it would be quicker to have a slider to save having to take hand off mouse while in use.

Not sure it's documented and not sure it will work for everyone, but I can use Ctrl+mousewheel to zoom in and out.

I didn't know that one either Peter!
With all those options Tony, do you still wish for a slider?

I guess it's changed from a 'need it' to an 'un-necessary luxury'

Useful to know and for information both the ctrl mousewheel and ctrl K & L both work fine under Crossover v 15.
