Improve workflow fluidity : Views and Zoom
Harald Skogland
I would like to see these improvements to workflow in ProtoPie:
- Remember last window and zoom position of Preview window: Everytime preview window is opened it has to be moved and resized. This shouldn't be necessary and is a waste of time.
- Remember View position and Zoom when entering a Component, and similarly when returning to a regular view. Again, this causes the view and zoom to constantly have to be adjusted when going in and out of components and is disruptive to workflow.

Oh, yes!

I just saw you have another post on this. Patricia (ProtoPie Team) — Should be merged:

Ira X: Yes, I had created this before and had forgotten about it. Sorry about that.

In addition to those two* (which are a headache), there are a few longstanding issues with pan and zoom:
- No ‘zoom to fit’
- No ‘zoom to selection’
- When zoomed to an element in a page, the entire canvas zooms out upon reimporting that element, and you must zoom/pan to find it again
- Zoom sometimes initiates when I move the mouse and I have no idea why
*One note about the preview window, and this is nuanced, is that the issue only occurs if “Preview window” is disabled in settings. If enabled, switching between tabs maintains its position, UNLESS “Preview” is clicked in the toolbar (with the window open or closed), which then puts it back to its default position.

Totally agree 👍 Number 1 is bothering me since day 1
