Path Numbers - Why are they so small?
I was really happy when the Prezi team added path numbering so complicated paths could be easily tracked. That said, and I don't mean to complain, but why is it that the numbers are so darn small!?!
Also antithetical to common reason, if you zoom in on a path the numbers get smaller! you actuall have to zoom out to see the numbers better.
I have 20/20 vision and I find myslef 2 inches from the screen squinting to determin if I'm looking at a 32 or a 33. It's particularly bothersome when there's a short jump and so all the path stops are close together.

I’m confused and a little gassy.

Inappropriate?Sorry for this Greg - I guess we should also make those numbers more visible using more contrast in colors...
I don't really understand the point about things getting smaller...
What is happening is that if there are too many path points close to each other, and you zoom out, only the last one will be shown. If you zoom to it, it will reveal the many points close to each other.1 Comment

Glad to hear you are fixing this as it's certainly a problem. I think Greg is right though - the path numbers do actually appear to get smaller and harder to read as you zoom in.
You might also look at the issue of deleting path nodes. In a very big Prezi it can be extremely hard to find blank space to drag one off to. Being able to hit del while dragging it or something would be easier. -
Inappropriate?Holy crap! I forgot I even posted this.
But I'm giving myself a Hell yah! For posting this issue. It's still an issue.
...still. Adam, I'm surprised that you don't understand what I mean by the numbers appearing to get smaller as you zoom in. I don't know what causes this, but it happens every time, and is a much greater problem when there's lots of path points in a presentation.
Jeremy's got my back. Anyone else seen this and perhaps can describe better than me? Maybe when I get a little downtime I can try a screen shot or two of the phenomenon.
I’m I've got a cold, and no it's not swine flu
