Feature Request: Set Default Canvas Size In Camtasia For Mac

1. Photoshop Canvas Size

In Photoshop I usually liked to use the preference that the window size would always change to fit the canvas size when zooming. But I can't seem to find a similar preference in either Affinity Photo or Designer. There is Zoom to Fit, but that resizes the canvas, not resizes the window. And even when I zoom in and out, the canvas does not zoom from the center point of the window. It's all a bit frustrating managing the windows when I want to focus on the content, and for something which Adobe nailed years ago. Please just copy their behaviors on window sizing! Just curious, but what do you find objectionable about leaving the application window at whatever default size you set it to?

Personally, I prefer to set it to nearly full screen size, leaving just enough room on the screen to make it easy to access any other window of any app I want to use or reference while Affinity is open. There is also full screen mode, which maximizes the available screen space, devoting all of it to the app (& turning off updating most other apps running in the background to devote all the system resources to the frontmost one). Basically, by making the window very large, I minimize the amount of zooming required to see most of the canvas.

I can also zoom to any part of it using the Zoom tool or the keyboard shortcut (spacebar plus CMD) - zooming is centered around the pointer, not the center of the window (I have 'scrubby' zoom enabled in Preferences Tools). For all the Zoom tool options, refer to the Status bar at the bottom of the window with the tool selected. Zooming from the center of the window would be very annoying for me, often requiring a follow up pan with the View (hand) tool to get to what I wanted to work on into the window at the desired zoom level. Also, if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel or the equivalent, don't overlook the 'Use scroll wheel to zoom' option in Tool preferences.

This will allow you to zoom in & out around the pointer with any tool selected, & even do so simultaneously while using another tool to work on the canvas. Just curious, but what do you find objectionable about leaving the application window at whatever default size you set it to? Personally, I prefer to set it to nearly full screen size, leaving just enough room on the screen to make it easy to access any other window of any app I want to use or reference while Affinity is open. There is also full screen mode, which maximizes the available screen space, devoting all of it to the app (& turning off updating most other apps running in the background to devote all the system resources to the frontmost one).

I often have multiple files open at the same time, so setting the window to full screen is not an option. But even when I only have one file open, the window behavior doesn't work for me. If the canvas zoomed based on mouse position defining the center, maybe that wouldn't be so bad, but it doesn't. The result is a feeling that I have little control or precision. And frankly maybe it's OCD, but seeing extra window area around the image drives me crazy. I just want files to open with the window fitting the image size, I don't want to waste time resizing windows. If the image can't fit on the screen, it should be scaled down, but the window should always fit the image's proportions until I manually resize it.

And if I drag the window edges manually, the image area should always stay centered within that window. This is all stuff Photoshop does and it feels right. Affinity's window behaviors feel haphazard and I feel like I'm constantly working against them. It should do this. How exactly are you using the Zoom tool? Do you have 'scrubby zoom' enabled in the app preferences? It is enabled, though I don't actually know what that option does.

I turned it off and the zoom behavior is still the same – it does not zoom with the mouse as the central point, but seems to always zoom from the center of the image. Ah wait, I turned on the mouse wheel zoom and it does. I never use that (as I like to scroll through the image), instead using the Command key shortcuts, which don't seem to have the same mouse focus behavior. Regardless, that doesn't solve the window sizing problem. I've been mentioning this topic plenty of times. You may search for a list of window reladed feature request in the dedicated section of this forum. Workflow issues - primarily the catastrophic window handling - does not seem to be an issue for AffinityPhoto development.

Maybe they are to busy debugging crashes and even bigger problems. On the other side seeing they released a very early beta as final windows release there obviously is a lot of pressure on right now. Hopefully one day these issues will be acknowledged and addressed.

Hello TechSmith Community! This month's Feature Request Round-up is a few days late in observance of the holiday weekend. As mentioned in previous months, the Feature Request Round-Up process is a process that will evolve over time. We have now been conducting these monthly round-ups for sixth months and it is time for me to collect the information and feedback that I have received, review it and make any applicable changes. While this means that the process may be changing, feature requests should still be submitted and I will continue to collect and tally them and put them into a round-up thread (this process seems to go over quite well). Once I have reviewed the past six months' worth of data and make any necessary changes, I will be sure to update the community.

I would like to point out that each and every feature request is reviewed, with those that have the most votes and highest community interaction are more likely to be responded to by the Product Development team (note that this does not mean that the feature will absolutely be included in a future update), so make sure you are out there championing your feature request both here on the TechSmith community forums and within in your own social and professional circles. Without further ado, here are the Feature Requests from March 15, 2017 through April 15, 2017, make sure you head to their original threads and click the 'Vote' button for it to count!

Camtasia (Windows):. Camtasia (Mac):.

Snagit (Windows). Snagit (Mac).

Other Screencast.com. Jing. Again, thank you for your continued support and remember, if you are experiencing technical difficulties, -TechSmith. I really have lost my faith in which (someday) Techsmith would understand that, to present a decent text, in a presentation, in a video demo, you need Text Justification. PowerPoint use text justification, Photodex has text justification, Premiere has text justification.

And I can continue all day. When you are creating a videotutorial and you present a text that is not justified is very ugly, and the contents is not taken seriously. In a business environment, where paragraphs need to describe a product is usual, text justification is a 'must have' feature. This is text justification. That is justification. A clean text, aligned on both sides.

And what do we have right now in Camtasia and Snag It? We have this (observe how ugly is this): Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean elementum odio non est mollis posuere sed ac sem. Proin fringilla accumsan lectus, eu aliquam eros blandit eget. Praesent mollis tincidunt nibh, in vulputate urna varius eget. Praesent aliquet eget dolor vitae ultricies. Sed dui lorem, euismod nec tempus nec, sagittis feugiat diam.

Nam eget erat vitae arcu commodo imperdiet non AND YES, USING OTHER SOFTWARE, TO PRODUCE JUSTIFICATION IS NOT AN OPTION, READ WHY. There are people who says hey! Use Illustrator, make the text there, export it as a JPG and then, paste it in the Camtasia timeline. That involve a lot of work, specially when you need to create large products presentation, with a large quantity of text. Why Techsmith do not understand text Justification is important? Why a so basic feaure is never implemented, something that all your competence implement already?

I really do not understand this. Is a total mistery for me. And to that I must add another mistery. Why it is never in Spanish? Is very strange, extremely strange. All companies have a version in Spanish of their software. Why Techsmith never release Camtasia and Snag it in Spanish?

Five hundred and sixty-seven million people speak spanish as native speakers. Not boarding a market so huge is totally incomprehensible. I really don't know who deal with the Marketing there. I'm not any sort of expert, nor did I sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night so I can't fake it well, but for me personally, I find the 'jagged edge' type of text to actually be much easier to read and follow than fully justified text is. Especially once you go beyond about three lines. The fact the text ends in odd places on the right seems to provide nice visual cues as to where you left off or should begin the new line.

With fully justified text, as a reader, I find myself frequently lost and searching up and down the text for where the next line should be. But as I said, I'm but one lone voice in the crowd. And in no way am I suggesting it isn't needed and shouldn't be offered.
