Every now and then this reappears on the list... but here goes:
will there be a better "zoom" in Pd? Currently working on a higher
resolution screen (call it HiDPI or whatever...) implies either the 2x
zoom which is typically too much or changing font size which typically
breaks existing patches, and does not increase (proportionally) the
relative size of IEM guis such as toggles, bangs, etc.
Purr Data and Pd-L2Ork do it nicely, but it seems a bit overkill to pull
in all imaginable Pd libraries/externals just to have some nice visuals
(although being a visual dataflow language, visual clarity _is_ indeed
relevant), plus you are forced to curvy chords (which although popular
with the most) IMHO break the original Pd aesthetics :-)
Ideally vanilla would have a nice zooming / scale factor functionality
which doesn't break patch proportions...(e.g. Ardour does it very well) :-)
Any tips, tricks or thoughts for this in vanilla would also be interesting.
