ISBoxer enhancement request

Would be great if the rollover zoom could be set higher than 200% in the GUI, I've a desire for a 300% zoom. A manual change to the RollOver Scale setting in the generated XML seems to work. If you want a cap it, one approach could be: maximum of (ratio of the largest region width to the smallest region width) and (ratio of the largest region height to the smallest region height).

I agree with your view of the capping -- it's really just meant to be a sanity check more than anything else. I've increased the cap to 1000% in the current ISBoxer download (didn't push an update notice), so if you'd like to re-download and install it over your current ISBoxer, you should see the problem corrected

Hmm, I see no change, perhaps I'm downloading the wrong thing? It is still the 33 build url, just updated? --gus

BTW, auto layout used to generate a 3 region, right side aligned, such that the 2 right regions consumed full screen height. Let's call this 1 by 2. They now seem to only consume at most 1/3 screen height, more appropriate for a 1 by 3. Once you get to 1 by 4 the heights start to behave like they did in the past (ie. 1 by N, gives you 1/N height, and widths that maintains identical aspect ratios) --gus

It's the same URL so if you didn't see a change it might have just been your browser caching the file. Here's a separate link for you: http://www.lavishsoft.com/downloads/mod ... 33.gus.exe

It was never intended to have 2 filling up an edge because of how much that shrinks the main window, but I'll add an option to override the 3 minimum I suppose. For now you'll just have to do that manually -- I'm not sure it affects anyone else at the moment, I apologize.

If you want, you can specifically download ISBoxer 32, decline the auto update, create your window layout and copy it to clipboard, then paste it into 33

Not my browser, as I tried both FF and IE, and neither ever downloaded that URL before. Likely something between my box and your servers. Anyway, link you provided worked slick!

No need to change the layout. I was just noticing the change in behavior. 1 by 2 with 200% zoom is merely during testing on my 1680x1050 laptop while I tweak my setup generation tools. My 24" 1920x1200 display arrived on Monday, so I'll be switching over to 1 by 3, with 300% zoom.

Thanks much Lax!
