Last year there was work by Tim Hardeck to implement mouse-centered
zooming. See
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Libreoffice-ux-advise-PATCH-Mouse-centered-zooming-td3906261.html
for instance. For some reason that work never got included in the
sources, I guess there were some glitches still in it and then Tim
didn't have more time to work on it, or something.
the patch/concept was not accepted by ux-advise.
I have talked to Michael Meeks at the time and he suggested that people
would expect something similar to pinch to zoom, like Google Earth.
The problem was that a zooming implementation like this would have
needed a pixel based approach so I would have needed to start all over
again and I didn't have the time afterward.
Is there any reason
to not have another go at it?
You most likely would have to start from scratch to implement pinch to
zoom but except of that it would be great to have something like this in
Libreoffice.
(Tim, is the patch attached to the email linked to above the last
version of this work?)
Yes it is.
Regards
Tim
