Hello!
I was very excited when I’ve read about QZoom on Softpedia, but when I tested this app I was very surprised: it doesn’t behave as I expected at all. As it is now, it is very similar to ZoomIt from Sysinternals.
What I was expecting is this: when in “zoomed” mode, releasing the key trigger (ctrl, shift etc) would allow me to still use the applications like before zooming. For example if I zoom in explorer window I’ll still be able to select files, move them etc. I guess this is very hard to accomplish.
Don’t get me wrong! I am not criticizing QZoom! This is a very good application and does a good job. I think I was expecting too much.
Thank you!
Dear joby_toss
thank you for the comment.
I will change key routine like mouse scroll zoom from windows hotkey api.
The following request has the demand by a Japanese version.(etc ESC key other application conflicts)
Please wait even for the upgrade.
thank you
‘Just tested version 1.5e: much better. Thank you very much!
A minor issue: could it be possible to add an option to stop moving along with the mouse cursor when in zoomed mode? Maybe assign an hotkey for this? And maybe do some screen annotations while in “freezed zoomed mode” (like freehand drawing)?
Another issue: I have one transparent PowerPro sidebar on my desktop that does not appear when in zoomed mode. Is this normal? I think I can do a video screen recording to help you see what I mean, if you need it.
!
Edit: done. Links here: http://rapidshare.com/files/290580308/QZoom_AlphaChannel_Capture.avi.html or http://www.mediafire.com/?twmq4ytqdqg . Very useful enhancement for CamStudio recording
Another thing: could you confirm the full portability? I’m pretty sure QZoom does not use the Registry and also does not create files outside its own folder if the file “setting.ini” is present. Does it use .Net Framework?
It is a good candidate for the portablefreeware.com database (I’m going to submit this app there if you don’t mind – I think it will increase the popularity of QZoom).
Thanks again!
Dear joby_toss
Thank you for the comment.

It is possible to stop it simply.However, it is not possible to operate it though it stops.
There are a lot of requests from the QZoom user. Therefore, a good idea is considered.

sorry. WS_EX_TRANSPARENT style and directx overlay window (like Windows Media Player) cannot zoome with Windows XP
because XP does not support Windows Magnification API. Vista or lator is possible.

> could you confirm the full portability?
yes. full support potability like USB memory.
It prepared it.

>I’m pretty sure QZoom does not use the Registry and also does not create files outside its own folder if the file “setting.ini” is present.
yes all.
QZoom reads setting.ini in the following order.
1. its own folder
2. %appdata%\QZoom\setting.ini
QZoom does not use .Net Framework and any lantime. exe only run.
please add to portablefreeware.com database!
QZoom is software popular in Japan. I think that it wants a person all over the world to use it.
Thank you.
awesome!

Doesn’t work nicely with multimonitor setups in Dal View, it only shows the primary monitor zoomed in on both monitors
Dear Jose Fernandez.
Thank you for the comment.
I want also to increase the mouse pointer like mac os x in the future.
but Windows API of doing it is not found still.
It corresponds as soon as a good method is found.
Thank you
Dear sven.
Thank you for the comment.
If the setting is enabled, is it good?
monitor with mouse cursor, primary monitor or all monitor.
all monitor is used cpu high.
thank you
Dear Mira96,
Thank you very much for your efforts.
Unfortunately, I’m sad to inform you that QZoom v1.5 does not work on my system. When I try to zoom, the screen just goes blank (black) and I can see the mouse pointer moving but nothing else. When I press ESC to go back, everything returns to normal.
My system is: Windows 7 x64, nVidia 8600GTm driver v186.81

Dear AtmanActive.
Thank you for the action reporting in Windows7.
sorry. It has not had Windows7 yet.
It will confirm the operation one of these days.
In Windows XP you cannot access the taskbar when it is set to auto-hide if you are zoomed in.
Dear Z
It improves it by the upcoming version.

Hi Mira96!
Thanks for sharing this nice little app.
Though I sum myself to the list of people that would like to get a defined zoomed area, and work on it without it moving when move the mouse cursor, I thank it would add a lot in usability of apps.
Maybe it would also cool to be able to mark an area dragging the mouse and some modifier key to choose the area to zoom, the another modifier would move the same size of area to another part of the screen (like it is now without any modifer) and yet another to zoom within the zoom, and maybe some markers to return to your previous custom-sized areas.
Maybe I’m letting myself to get too carried away, so anyway I appreciate you sharing your effort
Cheers

Hi, me again
Another observation that I forgot to mention is that the unit of measuring perhaps is too big! I find myself that between 1x and 2x zoom, there is a huge difference, is there a way that it could be fine tuned a little bit? like in increments of 0.25x or similar?
Thanks again and cheers!
Hello there
First, I would like to say that QZoom is a great software. My girlfriend has a visual impariment and I don’t really like the software she uses right now. But she can’t use QZoom because the way it follows the cursor is making her dizzy. Could you possibly make it so that when you reach the border of the zoomed area with the cursor the zoomed area would move accordingly?
What I mean is, that the zoomed image would be still and when the cursor would touch the left border of the zoomed area, the zoomead area would shift to the left, if possible. The same for the other sides.
I hope I make myself clear. I think it would be really easy for you to do, since it doesn’t seem to alter the functionality of the software much. Maybe you could toggle this in the menu – follow cursor / zoomed area – or something like that, I dunno.
I think QZoom would be even better with this little touch.
Best regards and good luck with your other work.
QZoom doesn’t work at 2560 x 1600 resolution on Vista 64bit for me. Any lower resolution works great though…
Hello,
). QZoom is exactly right tool for it already.
I would like to thank you for QZoom.
I’m using it for zooming during screencapturing. I like to capture whole screen, zoom for details and then resize the video for reasonable resolution (good result with Screencast-O-Matic – with zooming it looks like Camtasia
If I could ask for an improvement of two things, it would be (and was already mentioned):
1) option for stop moving the zoomed area – so you are focused in one place and can use mouse without mowing the area. There should be two possibilities a) shortcut for locking area position and b) move the area only if cursou is near its border.
2) Resize the cursor
… and other two small things …
zoom level shortcut (I use de-facto just 1,2,4:1)
zoom to app window – if you eg. alt+click on a caption bar of window, qzoom change its magnificence level to see the app visible part, of course according to aspect ratio … but these are just an ideas … the stop moving thing would be great!
Thanks a lot for what you done!!!
