Screen Scaling

Post by ADC65 » 10 Sep 2009 12:53

I've done a search to see if this has been asked before, and something similar has, but it didn't appear to have been resolved.

When I open a new diagram on screen, it appears much larger than I want it so I use the minus key to make it smaller. Because I am in and out of Gedcom Census, I have to keep reopening the diagram after a reload (annoying in itself!), and each time I have to resize. To try and save doing this resizing, I set the Scaling in Diagram Properties to a lower value, clicked apply, then OK. The diagram is now the size I want it to be, hooray!

The problem is that every time I open a diagram, the scaling has been set back to 100%. I have 'Save As Default' ticked. Whatever I try to do, opening a new diagram after restarting always opens at 100%. Am I doing something wrong, and if not, is there any way around this?

Thanks,
Adrian

I suspect it should be remembering the scale-ling on the diagram option, not sure about the screen zoom. I'll highlight it to Calico.

Thanks Jane. Same as you, I would expect the zoom to reset, but not the scaling.

I just tried saving a diagram, with scaling set to 75%, as a FH chart.  Then I closed and reopened FH and opened the saved chart.  Guess what - the scaling was still 75% BUT the zoom was 77%, which I was not expecting.
