The next time you load Kinopio on desktop, you’ll see a slider bar in the bottom right that’ll let you zoom your space out and work at a birds eye view. While zoomed out, you can still do everything you could before (make new cards, paint them, connect them etc).
You can zoom by dragging on the bar, using cmd/ctrl-plus or minus, and cmd/ctrl scrolling up or down.
You can also invert the scroll zoom direction in your user -> settings.
Let me know how it goes! I’ll let the world know later
Can you please add the ability to zoom in farther than 100%? I do that a lot because I have a 4K monitor, but I frequently screenshare with my team, and it’s too small for them to see. I used to bump up the zoom to 150% or even 200% using the default browser zoom.
I tried manually changing the scale to 2, and it looks fine, but I found interaction is wonky. When I click, the edit card dialog is off screen, and it’s hard to get it in view. It feels like I’m fighting against some code that is not prepared for the scale to be 2
I’ll find a way to reverse this regression for this use case. Likely I’ll make it so that if you’re already at 100% zoom, pressing cmd+ will use native browser zoom
a related bug I found…if you start at 100% and zoom-in a bit with ⌘-+, it works as expected. but then, if you then hit ⌘-- to zoom back out, sometimes it triggers your code to adjust the scale, and it gets out of whack. you have to reset the zoom (⌘-0).
it looks like the edit dialog isn’t being scaled properly, too:
hmm i’ll have to think about how to solve that one because js code doesn’t have access to the current browser zoom level (I think?), nor does it have the ability to reset the browser’s zoom level
I can adjust the minimum zoom level pretty easily, I put it at 40% because I wanted things to still appear usable for the most common types of spaces when zoomed out to max - but maybe I was too conservative.
another related bug (you probably are already aware of but didn’t want it to get missed) – when zoomed out, the math for ⌘-Shift-A isn’t quite right. It is selected cards above where my cursor is.
The shouldInvertZoomDirection toggle feels flaky. I have toggled it to true, but sometimes it gets reset to false. I just tried setting it to true, but when I query the API for my user setting, it says it is false. In a separate browser, the setting is false. So perhaps in the former browser, it is cached locally, but it doesn’t seem to be persisting to the server.
