Zoom Zoom
Adding Zoom would be great.
Our team are all so used to viso - we're always hitting CTRL + Scroll Wheel to zoom in and out.
It'd be reall useful for lining stuff up, in more intricate mock ups.

Inappropriate?Yes, that would be a great feature. Crazy hard to add for me at this point, but I have added it to the list nonetheless, I like a challenge! :)
-
Inappropriate?Yes - I would love this too. -
Inappropriate?I'm working both with 20" and 12" monitors on the same mockups. Now its uncomfortable to handle my mockups with the smaller one. Zoom could solve this.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?Zoom is top of our list at the moment. We place a load of mockups onto a single screen while we are working out the initial flow and navigating with the scrollbars is a little painful.
-
Inappropriate?I agree. This is sorely needed.
Zoom In and Out using:
CTRL + Mouse Wheel
CTRL and +/- keys
I’m excited for ZOOM
-
Inappropriate?I absolutely agree. Zooming and the classic Photoshop Pan (hold Space bar) would be heavily appreciated.
-
Inappropriate?My monitor is large, too, and I run at a high resolution. My widgets are so tiny! Need zoom!
-
Inappropriate?it would be okay even if we couldn't edit while zoomed out. just let me see a high level view (and optionally zoom back in to the area i clicked on)3 Comments

Not okay for me! I definitely need to be able to edit at multiple magnifications: smaller widgets at higher magnifications and big groups of widgets at smaller magnifications. Presentation mode should still support zoom, of course, and we need not be able to edit there. -
I second Jeff's comments!
-
I need editing in zoomed mode too, even if the pixel precise moves won't be visible while using Zoom Out.
-
Inappropriate?I completely agree with Rob. I don't need to edit in Zoomed Out mode. I'd just love to be able to mouse-wheel out (holding a modifier would be fine), hold space to pan around (ala Photoshop), and then zoom back in. My designs are often just too big for the screen.
-
Inappropriate?Hi guys, so I'm hearing two feature requests here:
- a better way to pan around
- zooming feature to edit at all magnifications
For the first one, I plan on letting you hold down the space key and dragging, like in most graphic software. I hope it will help enough to not require a "navigator" like in photoshop.
For the second one, it will be tough but we'll get there. Remember Dreamweaver didn't get zooming until version 6! :)
-
Inappropriate?ultimately, editing at arbitrary zoom levels is good. i think that's the end-goal feature.
but simply zooming (without editing) has other applications (showing people the big picture, remembering the big picture, and navigation), and is [presumably] way easier to put in.
so i think it's a good starting point that can grow.

Agreed, edit is better - but I would consider either progress.
-
Inappropriate?I'd really like zoom too. I find it difficult to select large element groups on the page sometimes because it seems you have to drag a marquee around them rather than just clicking on them. (This could be a bug in itself I suppose). Being able to zoom out would be very helpful to me.
-
Inappropriate?Please concentrate on this feature. Its absence make me think about using another software.
I’m sad

In my very humble opinion, this is exactly how you will never have an answer from the company. This kind of threat never ends up with anything good. Unhappy with the software? That's life. Go elsewhere :-)

Hi Regis, I disagree. Milhaus is clearly expressing pain, and I respond well to that. Milhaus, I know zooming is an important feature, in fact I miss it myself when using Mockups (I keep trying to CTRL+ and CTRL- to zoom in and out). I want to make sure we finish all of the half-finished things we have going before adding this important feature, give us a few more months.
-
Inappropriate?I'll reiterate that Zoom is important to me (now that you got linking done, it's my top item).
I'm often using Balsamiq on different sized screens (my laptop, my home machine, my work machine). The screens I'm designing also vary in size. Plus, I'm using Balsamiq more and more to do navigation diagrams, so sometimes I want to work with a VERY large canvas, with multiple "mockups" on one canvas connected by arrows.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?One year over and no improvement about Zooming.
Sorry to say, but after the good start, now Balsamiq seems like an abandoned product.
I’m sad

Are you serious? With weekly updates Peldi has made many major and minor improvements to the application over the past year, even if Zoom isn't one of them.
Remember, while asking for zoom is as easy as clicking a "like" button or posting a comment, actually implementing the feature properly may potentially require a major overhaul of the application at the code level. It's far better for Peldi's team to attack less complex feature requests in addition to bug fixes before embarking on more complex new features.
Personally, I'm impressed by the development history of the application, and strongly believe that the many "missing" features we desire will eventually be implemented as time and resources allow. -
I agree with Jenni,
This is a mockup tool - not photoshop. Sure zoom would be cool, but Im afraid of adding too many features to bloat the product to the point that it gets in the way of what it is supposed to do very well - which is mockups. -
That's not to say I wouldn't like having zoom - In fact I think it's one of the biggest "flaws" that Mockups currently exhibits. But as I also have a development background I recognize that prioritizing the what depends a great deal on the how. :)

Inappropriate?I don't think the importance can be underestimated. Design and layout is all about the balance of a page. If you have no easy way to get an holistic view of your design its actually quite a handicap. I know you can export and view the png (Why are exported PNGs soooo massive in terms of filesize btw - I simply import them into fireworks and export them again and they are 500k instead of 7mb with no decernable drop in quality) but that not really a workable solution if you are doing this job all day every day
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?You are right Jenni.
I revoke the abandoned attribute.
Somehow I deleted the RSS of weekly updates from my reader. That made me think there is no update.
I apologize to Peldi.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?I'm a first time user, I've downloaded the demo and started to try it out building a few pages.
The *first* feature I want is the ability to see my entire page on my monitor. I don't want to pan around (however easy) to add/remove things.
I think it's critical.
I'm excited to buy it and start using it with a few co-workers, but this is a real issue.
With software, especially software that's becoming popular, it's always easier to solve the small requests instead of tackling the big ones, especially if they require major re-working of the system. But, the bigger ones have to be addressed at some point. For me, now would be a good time for zooming! :-)
Thanks, Steve.
I’m dissappointed in the lack of a key feature.

Try to reduce the font size. And leave away unimportant stuff.
That's how I got smaller mockups. -
Inappropriate?Any sense on when we may see either of Pan or Zoom implemented?
I’m hoping at least Pan gets implemented soon.
