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!!!

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.

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!

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
