Zacron: Oh... Yeah, I see that... Now... Okay, what about this one. Mouse wheel zoom?

HiddenAsbestos: Currently mouse wheel is for floor selection, but I'll make a note to add a switch to turn it into a zoom. I think I've tried to zoom that way myself on occasion :-)
Awesome. If it can be done, I would recommend zooming in and out from the location of the mouse. That is how Ps and CAD software works, and that would fall right into what I am used to. :)

No problem, I'll make it work like that as an option. Thanks for the suggestion :-)

Thank you very much. :) That was really like my only complaint.

Looks a nice tool, especially having it in a tablet/bigger smartphone and drawing during the gameplay without needing to ALT+TAB or sketching in paper to transfer to the program after

I am already enjoying panning and zooming. This version is now 95% what I want in a Mapping app. The only thing it needs now is to Zoom in and out based on the location of the Mouse, and I know that you are looking into that already. Even without that, this is amazing. This is the best version yet, and is more than worth the cost of the Pro Version.

i think you should charge more than you do. This is the single most useful app for playing old RPGs since DOSBox.

I've just released the first Linux Beta of Grid Cartographer.

Right now you can grab a copy from my forum:
http://www.davidwaltersdevelopment.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=728

I'll put it on a more general release once it's been tested a bit more.
Enjoy!

Oh, good. Now you can get to work on the OS X version you had planned. You did have an OS X version planned, right?

;-)

Hi, yes I do plan to make an OS X version, but unfortunately I can't give a time frame on when at the moment. Sorry!

Glad to hear it and that's fine because I am pecking away at quite the backlog anyway. I'll keep an eye on this thread for news. Thanks for your reply.

For anyone using Grid Cartographer Touch on a tablet with a high density 'retina' type display. I've made a fix to detect this type of screen and double the pixels, making it a lot easier to work with.
