Any way to zoom in DN1EDIT 3.0 ?

Post by Elia1995 »

I have a 4K monitor and the workspace is extremely tiny when I try to work with DN1EDIT 3.0 (which by the way works just fine in Windows 10 x64, despite being 20 years old!).

I already set the DPI of the program to match the System one, so it got a TINY BIT larger, but the map and tiles are very tiny and hard to see, it's a very easy program to use, but that issue makes it very frustrating, also I can't find any newer version at all anywhere, despit it being "Incomplete" in the help window.

I ended up using the 2.0 version on DOS, but my Pentium machine has no mouse support (yet! I have to get a working PCI serial card) and on DOSBox is also very tiny, if I put DOSBox in fullscreen, the cursor flies all over the place...

So is there perhaps any shortcut combination I'm not aware of in DN1EDIT 3.0 to just zoom ?!

You can use the built-in zooming of Windows 10 by holding down the Windows key and hitting the + or - key on your keyboard.

Of course! The magnifier, how couldn't I have thought of that :?

By the way, I didn't know there was a shortcut to instantly open it, thanks!

While it's not the ideal solution, it's still a viable workaround to be able to use this program on my 4K monitor, I really like DN1EDIT because it's very easy to use to begin with, I hope we can get a more modern-compatible and with more features one, maybe a built-in mod/project manager of some sort, as well as different zoom levels can be a start...
