Description Andrew Sobala 2002-11-15 19:30:56 UTC 
1. Open a nautilus window, zoom = 100%
2. Set the default zoom for that view using the prefs to 100%
3. Now change the nautilus window zoom level to 75%
4. Go to the prefs and change the default zoom level. Notice the zoom level
in the nautilus window does the opposite to what is expected: changing zoom
= 100->75 causes an increase in size, and 100->200 causes a decrease in size.

May be applicable to 2.0.x, but I tested with HEAD from < 1 week ago.

I have Nautilus 2.1.5 installed and see the same problem.

The default zoom level only works if the zoom level is 100% in the 
current Nautilus view. If the current zoom level is <> 100% and you 
change default zoom level you get the opposite of what you expect.

Try it, it's quite interesting. :)

Maybe it would be easier to just save the desired zoom level setting 
and not try to change the zoom level on-the-fly.
Comment 2 Mattias Dahlberg 2003-01-20 16:20:08 UTC 
Well, sometimes it doesn't work when the current zoom is 100% either.

I highly suspect some variable not being reset.
Comment 3 marten ter borgh 2003-03-29 22:20:35 UTC 
I am working on a patch that fixes this. 
btw - the problem is in fm_list_view_scale_font_size() - it generates
to small fontsizes. Since the calculation of the height of a column is
based on the size of the font, icons get cropped.

115885 is a duplicated with perhaps some extra details (ie: the icons
on the desktop have the right behaviour).

Comment 8 Christian Neumair 2005-05-23 11:09:46 UTC 
I don't see this behavior with Nautilus 2.11/HEAD. When customizing a view's
zoom level and then changing the pref, the view zoom level stays untouched, as
expected. Closing.
