Bug ID: 420657 Summary: In dolphin please allow users to increase the maximum zoom (larger size of icons) Product: dolphin Version: unspecified Platform: Debian stable OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: view-engine: general Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: myndstr...@protonmail.ch CC: kfm-de...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY I'd like to configure a media center within dolphin. In particular I'd like to set up a movies folder which shows movie covers as folder icons, has large folder labels and is zoomed in so that the covers are large. The best way for this would be to have directory-specific view settings and have a preconfigured folder view settings profile called "Movies" which automatically configures all those things dependent on some user variables such as display size. But these would be separate issues. It's already possible to do most of these things in an improvised way by manually selecting folder-icons, disabling preview, selecting the icons mode, zooming in to the maximum and changing the font size for the icon mode under Configure Dolphin->View Modes->Icons->Label font->Custom->Size. This is why the only remaining problem with this improvised solution is the maximum zoom level: the folder-icons (movie covers) aren't large enough at the maximum icon size. This could be fixed in two ways: - increasing the maximum zoom level and/or - giving users the option to configure the maximum zoom level (or multiple options like a maximum zoom level for each view mode) Currently the maximum zoom is 256px which was probably chosen due to icons not being larger than 256 pixels. But even icons of less than 256 px should display properly at a larger resolution. To prevent e.g. less tech-savvy users to configure the view-mode to look very bad it could be made an option or options. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enter a folder which contains a folder that contains an image 2. Selecting the folder's image to be the folder's icon 3. Disable preview 4. Selecting the icons mode 5. Zoom in to the maximum OBSERVED RESULT Maximum zoom too small (subjective and depends on hardware) EXPECTED RESULT Maximum zoom should be larger or configurable SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.14.5 KDE Plasma Version: 5.14 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0 Qt Version: 5.11.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I previously asked about this here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/581870/how-to-configure-per-directory-view-settings-in-kde-dolphin-for-a-media-center and I will link to here from there. I might be relevant that the "Zren" fork of dolphin has this: > Added a few "View Modes" which will toggle "Preview" > automatically, and "Zoom" to specific sizes which are > familiar to Windows users. > Huge Icons, Large Icons, and Tiled view mode presets. https://github.com/Zren/dolphin -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
