I installed .47, upgrading from my .41... and my wheel zoom went away.

Set another directory and reinstalled the .41. I have wheel zoom with .41, but .47 just sits there. Doesn't matter if it's primary or secondary, no wheel response from .47.

Of course somebody is going to come back and tell me there's now a setting somewhere to get it working... right?

BTW, the .47 was downloaded direct from RuiDa.

I tend to stay away from the latest and greatest till the bugs are stomped out. Unless there is a problem to be solved. It has saved me a lot of anguish over the years. The cutting edge is often sharpish.

Yeah, I'm normally that way. But I was looking for something else and came across a notice that they posted the .47.

Going to have to reinstall the .41... times SIX since someone gave me the work around for no multiple windows... ARGH!

Oh yeah, here's another one. Save a file with .47, and you can't open it with .41. File type error.

That is pretty much SOP for software not being backward compatible, at least graphic software.

Somehow I expected at least a bit of backward compatibility. Russ' files are generated on .38, and I can open them just fine on my .41.

Were you running it on your 2nd monitor? Scroll zoom seems to only work on the main display.

My copy of .47 wouldn't wheel zoom on either main or secondary. I reloaded a copy .41 as that is what I have at the laser. Wheel zoom came back as soon as I loaded .41. I left a copy of .47 for comparison, no wheel zoom on that. What troubled me is that the .47 copy I downloaded came direct off the Ruida web site, not a customized version from a reseller.

I have multiple copies installed as RDWorks won't let you open multiple windows, and I'm aware of the problem of the wheel zoom not working if your secondary is on the left. Unfortunately my physical set up doesn't allow me to have my secondary on the right to get the wheel zoom back, so I live with running RDWorks on a smaller monitor.

Can't you reassign the monitor numbers/position?
