print export view wasting space

BETA 4.1 RC11

The menu boxes take up a huge chunk of screen real estate. Will we have the option to make that smaller?

If you resize the fonts to the very smallest, it does almost nothing to menu box size. The focus is on the menus not the printed text.

Would be good is we could combine them on the one side of the screen or even resize them. It looks impressive, but not as functional as it could be.

How about an icon driven option, instead of lots of text, just pictures?

Hi Lionel & welcome to Beta testing.

Bugs and Suggestions are the main content of this forum and it helps to precede the title of a thread with Bug: or Sugg: respectively. Logos are loathe to introduce Options because of the complexity they introduce from a support perspective, but I'm sure they would be open to a

Sugg: Make Print/Export menu boxes a lot smaller!

I hadn't been affected by size as currently configured, but they were made a little larger to avoid truncating some text. Does making the window larger improve things?

Screen-shots attached on print/export at full screen for both Actual Size and Fit. As you can see there is a big difference between font sizes. I don't have a wide-screen monitor and res is 1280x1024. My windows fonts are set to Large 120DPI.

I see what you mean now. It's only a problem when you're viewing it in Actual Size mode. I agree that the menus should not be in the way of seeing the text in that view. Perhaps they should be hidden/retracted temporarily while viewing the whole thing in Actual Size view. But Logos is also loathe to put the user in a modal state from which they might not be readily aware how to get out.

You can scroll around when in Actual Size view. The mouse pointer changes to a hand when you're over it, and you can grab anywere in the document and drag around to see different bits of it.

Logos needs to address this as well as the viewing of maps at actual size in Biblical Places without having part of them hidden by the ribbon. I would say they are similar issues. The latter has been reported in another thread and a fix requested, so I'm going to go put a link in that thread back to this one as well.
