Hi,

Sorry to disturb you all... I'm using a plugin that has a preview in its main window. The preview is so small on my screen that I can't really see any of the adjustements. So, I would like to optionally make the preview bigger. I had a quick look at the code and the documentation. At first glance, it would seem that I would need to replace the "gimp_drawable_preview" with the "gimp_zoom_preview". However, the preview is updated via gimp_drawable_preview_draw_region(), and this call does not seem to exist for the "gimp_zoom_preview".
So, I guess I would need to combine the "gimp_drawable_preview" and "gimp_zoom_preview" in some fashion, or find if there exist a "gimp_drawable_zoom_preview" object. Does anybody has some useful suggestions ?

Thanks in advance...

Jean

Using a zoomable preview is somewhat more difficult than using a GimpDrawablePreview. You can't just do search and replace and expect this to work.

That's unfortunate.
Note that I personally believe that all GimpDrawablePreview should be zoomable, but it's probably because I've been using high resolutions display for too long.

I suggest that you have a look at some of the plug-ins in the 2.4 source tree that use it.

I'll look into that, if I can find time. Or the alternative is to scale up the region before pusing it to the GimpDrawablePreview.

Have fun...
