[SOLVED] magnifier in Okular

[rybnik]

Okular has a "magnifier" (activated by ctrl+6) that lets one click on an area of the pdf and have a magnified view displayed. It's very useful--However, it uses 10x magnification, which I find to be rather extreme. How can I change the magnification level? Is it possible to do so?

I made a thread about this over a year ago, but it didn't draw any attention. I'm still curious about the issue, though.

Can't you just use CTL+ and CTL-?

static const int SCALE = 10;

So look to be a compiled in constant that is not changeable on the user end?

Maybe suggest to KDE devs to make it something you can change, within sane limits?

@ acheron
Thanks for digging up that line from the Okular code.

How would I reach out to KDE devs for that--the KDE forum? IRC?

Or when I'm feeling more adventurous, I should probably try compiling Okular myself after changing that const. ;-)

I happen to like the magnification level of the magnifier on TexStudio's built-in pdf viewer, and a couple times I've opened pdf's in TexStudio in order to use the magnifier there.

Thank you so much, Rog131. With your direction, I just submitted a feature request on the KDE bugs site, which also mailed the okular-devel listserv.
