Is there a way to set the ZOOM for a LIVE PREVIEW when using the MDI (NON-DOCKED) MODE?

All --

While working on a customer's system with IMAGE-PRO PREMIER 9.1.4 I find that when using the MDI MODE (NON-DOCKED MODE) that LIVE PREVIEW shows up at a ZOOM = 20%.  This seems to be consistent no matter what I do.

When using the DOCKED MODE, the LIVE PREVIEW is 44% (BEST FIT / FULL SCREEN).

Is there a way to set up IPP 9.1.4 so that a LIVE PREVIEW will appear BEST FIT / FULL SCREEN?

While on the topic of LIVE PREVIEW . . .

Is there a way to set up IPP 9.1.4 so that:

** A CAPTURE will turn off the LIVE PREVIEW
or
** Turning off the LIVE PREVIEW will use the NAMING OPTIONS of the CAPTURE FUNCTION
or
** Turning off the LIVE PREVIEW will not generate an UNTITLED IMAGE

Thanks.

These options under "Image" in the "Image Display" subgroup.

Matt, this code will close "Live Preview" if Snap called:

Public Module Macros

    Private WithEvents _app As McApplication = Nothing

    Public Sub ThisProject_Loading() Handles ThisProject.Loading
        _app = ThisApplication
    End Sub

    Public Sub ThisProject_Unloading() Handles ThisProject.Unloading
        _app = Nothing
    End Sub

    Private Sub _app_CaptureAcquiring(ByVal CaptureEvent As MediaCy.IQL.Application.McApplication.CaptureEvents) Handles _app.CaptureAcquiring
        If CaptureEvent = McApplication.CaptureEvents.CaptureSnap Then
            For Each im As McImage In ThisApplication.Images
                If MediaCy.Commands.Image.Common.IsPreview(im) Then
                    im.Close
                    Exit For
                End If
            Next
        End If
    End Sub

End Module

Thanks,

Hi Matt,

Take a look on "Auto Zoom" and "Default Zoom" options in the application options dialog.

Thanks,
Nikita.

I don't see the OPTIONS that you are directing me to.

I have attached a SCREEN CAPTURE from the APPLICATION section of the OPTIONS SCREEN that appears on this computer.

Can you direct me to the settings that you are referring to please?

Thanks.

P.S.  The FORUM will not allow me to ATTACH a JPG FILE.  I'm looking under

FILE + OPTIONS + APPLICATION

Is that the right location?

Here is another attempt at attaching the image.

Thank you for the additional information.

When I do 

    FILE +
    OPTIONS +
    IMAGE +
    IMAGE DISPLAY +
    AUTO ZOOM = DEFAULT ZOOM +
    DEFAULT ZOOM = 40%

then engaging LIVE PREVIEW generates a LIVE PREVIEW WINDOW that is a good size.

Sometimes a section of the LIVE PREVIEW WINDOW is below the bottom of the PREMIER FRAME but this is easier to resolve (by dragging the TITLE BAR) then the size issue.

Thank you for helping with that.

Do you have any input on the question(s)

Thank you for the code.

I'll present it as a possible solution for the PROJECT MANAGER that is making the decisions about implementation.

At this time I'm setting up the PROCEDURE and DOCUMENTATION to work with the UNTITLED IMAGE generated by the

    ENGAGE LIVE +
    DISENGAGE LIVE +
    SAVE +
    CLOSE

because there are the fewer steps and fewer images than the other options that I have found.

Thanks again.
