truphane Posted 2025年11月05日Terrific program BUT one minor request: --> Make the "+" and "-" zoom tools - when held down - act like the "hand" tool. This will help a lot. Make them zoom only on a brief click & release. Right now, zooming in with the "+" tool almost always moves the pattern further off center. I can use the arrow keys to move it back but those operate in steps. A hand tool would be intuitive and smoother, but I can't be switching back and forth from that. Thanks!Reply from GollyPosted 2025年11月08日
If you want to zoom in/out without changing the central position, hit the ]/[ keys. If you'd prefer different keys to do that, open Preferences > Keyboard and assign any keys you like to the Zoom In / Out actions. -

horab Posted 2022年12月25日Perhaps it would be interesting to be able to import 2-bit bitmap graphics.Reply from GollyEdited 2025年11月09日
You can. See Help > File Menu > Open Pattern. -
