For instance, I would like to lock the site width to 1920px, so that whenever I open/close side panels or reduce browser width, the canvas zooms in/out to always render the page at 1920px wide.
But when I start typing in the scaling width input, this is totally erratic and I can’t get the right number. For instance, when I type “1”, it is replaced by “0”, and the following is not better.
The scale input seems to work, though, but of course it does not allow to lock a fixed width.
Just tested it and it doesn’t seem to work, or I don’t know how to use it.
When I open library panel, site width changes.
The canvas should just be zoomed out so that the site is still displayed with same (virtual) width.
Because currently it is just like changing breakpoint or reducing windows/canvas size, which is not the desired effect. Well at least for me, sorry if I don’t get it
If you have a look at Oxygen or Bricks, when you lock a specific width in pixels, whatever the panels opened/closed, canvas always displays the site with the specified width, so that the layout doesn’t change with panels, unlike breakpoints, which change the layout.
For me the purpose of width lock is to not alter the layout with side panels.
My bad, so if I understand well, it is not a width lock but just scaling, as the button label says
So a lock feature would be nice, like I set a fixed pixel width, and the canvas is adjusted accordingly and always displays the same virtual pixel width and layout doesn’t shift.
This is awesome news. I have been struggling with this as well. This will make working with the canvas much better on laptop size screens! And not having to set that resize setting each time editing a page.
BUMP and changed to BUG, scaling is still unusable.
So on a full HD laptop with open panels, canvas show a mobile view although we’re editing desktop breakpoint…
The only way to see the right desktop view is to unzoom with the browser, which is a bit tedious, since it also unzooms all other tabs from the same website.
