Note: whenver you navigate to a different page, or save the document, the thumbnail will be updated anyway, so this function is not strictly neccesary, just convenient.
|
| · | Hotzone Scrolling When checked, you can move the mouse pointer near the edges of the document window and it will automatically start to scroll. This way you do not need to drag or click the scrollbars. This is very convenient when dragging around shapes on the document. See also Document window.
|
| · | Render at Screen Resolution When checked, the document will render itself at the most optimum resolution for the current number of pixels on the screen. This is slower than using a fixed resolution cache, especially when zooming. It will only be noticable when zooming in very far onto the document.
