MDBUPdfLarge

From v9.20.0001 - 2010-06-14 11:52:

Code: Select all

    * MouseDownBlowUp on PDF preview and thumbnails: The shell driven 
      preview of PDF files now can be enlarged using a new tweak. By 
      default it is limited to 384 x 512 pixels. Set
        MDBUPdfLarge=1
      to enlarge it to a square of 80% of the smaller screen dimension. 
      On a 1920 x 1080 screen this would be 0.8 * 1080 = 864 pixels.
      Note that SC tweak supports this tweak, so you can do this through 
      the Address Bar:
        tweak("MDBUPdfLarge", 1);
      Note: Whether the enlarged PDF blow up actually works depends on 
      your system and RAM size. It's not easily predictable. Try it out.
Has anybody tried this tweak (successfully)?

It seems to work correctly here using v9.20.0206 on XP SP3.

I noted that this suddenly started working at my place some weeks ago and I could only relate it to the fact that I now have 4GB of RAM. Whatever, good it works!

I'm thinking about making it factory default. Is there anybody where it does not work?

I definitely notice it taking a little longer to generate the preview, so I'm not sure I agree with making it the default.

True, about 25% in the examples I tested. That would be ok for me. But the chance that it does not work at all on some machines keep me from making it the default. I'll make it an option.
