Title: Keep zoom level when cloning a preview
Post by: David Serrano on 2015 May 02 16:02:58

When trying differents sets of parameters of the same tool (or even different tools, eg. NR processes) I usually work with several identical previews so I can compare between them by Ctrl-Left'ing/Ctrl-Right'ing. To clone a preview I just drag its selector downwards to the empty space below (but the same can be accomplished in the menu Preview > Clone Preview).

However doing so creates the new preview with 1:1 zoom. I find myself constantly duplicating a preview and then reducing the zoom level of the new one to match that of the original one. Could we have it so that the new preview is created with the same zoom as the original?

You can duplicate the position and zoom level of a preview just like any other image (click and drag the name of the first and drop it on the name of the second.)

Not optimal but useful enough! Thank you! :)
