ski Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 This should probably go in the Lounge, but I wanted lots of people to see it. I discovered something this evening, and hopefully this isn't old news. OK... you know how large images show up in posts with a scroll bar, such as in this screenshot? Well, if you hold down OPTION and click on the image, the scroll bar disappears and the full image is shown in the post! Try it out for yourself in this post. Pretty cool!

Rev. Juda Sleaze Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Sweet, it's news to me! Thanks Ski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Wow - I thought everybody knew! But ... there's no need to hold option: just click the image to blow it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Wow - I thought everybody knew! But ... there's no need to hold option: just click the image to blow it up. Thought so too! And if you are on Lion you won't see any scroll bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you are on Lion you won't see any scroll bars. Ceci n'est pas un scrollbar de Lion? Non, c'est un screenshot d'un scrollbar de Lion! On a side note: Lions' scrollbars are the lamest Mac OS scrollbars ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 HA! never thought to just click on an image to open it up like that. Well, there ya go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audiogrocery Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Wow - I thought everybody knew! But ... there's no need to hold option: just click the image to blow it up. This is correct, I found it out immediately (by chance) after the new forum look update. Lots of the other forum look templates do not support such feature so it will be good idea to place some label, or hint about that. This forum topic (started by the long forum user Ski) confirms that "hidden" feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Z Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Glad ski brought this up. I too apparently missed the original announcement as I just learned about this nice feature..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. V Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Very cool tip! Maybe someone will create an app that systematically clicks on the screen from left to right, and from top to bottom, for the purpose of locating "hidden features" At any rate, the full size view is vertical but not horizontal. The right edge is truncated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 The right edge is truncated. When the image is inline, that's correct. That's an issue we're aware of. A workaround to see the whole image is to right-click the image and choose "Open Image in New Tab". When the image is not placed inline but is simply attached to the post, it's only truncated by the right edge of your browser window, which you can resize to see the whole image. Glad ski brought this up. I too apparently missed the original announcement as I just learned about this nice feature..... There was no announcement. We need to write a little "How to use the forum" tutorial! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 How to use the Forum a tutorial by Anonymous Bosch 1) Before you ask a "how do I do _____ in Logic" question, read the manual first, cuz wouldn't it be ironic if you posted that question and then someone answered it by pointing you to the relevant page in the manual? It happens quite often. (See also #2, below) 2) As excuses for not reading the manual go, "I'm not good at reading manuals, I'd prefer to get an answer on the forum" is not very good. Next time, try harder. Much harder. 3) Asking "how do I use ____?" will likely get you a response to your question quicker than "how do I use ______???????!!!!?!?!???!?!?!???!?" 4) Every Logic user was a newbie at one time. Hey, we all have to start somewhere, and there's no shame in that. But outright declaring in your post that you're a newbie (i.e., "Logic newbie here, so please take it easy on me....") increases the odds of getting the ol' online newbie hazing by at least 50%. (See also #5 below). 5) Your chances of getting a newbie hazing can be reduced by at least 95% if, after you post a question, you actually follow the instructions posted in response by a fellow LPH member. 6) Once you've gotten the hang of the forum, be sure to address David as "Your Majesty". Moderators should be treated with the utmost respect and addressed as "Your Grace". And to view full-sized images embedded in a post, simply click on them to reveal their full size.

Scott Jackson Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 There was no announcement. Maybe there was no official announcement but it did not go unnoticed. Nice new feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
