Add 'Show<=>Hide Magnifier' option at the 'Quick Preferences' menu

Description

Congrats for the very good Greenshot.

I am asking a very simple improvement : to add at the 'Quick Preferences' menu a new command, that will alternate between 'Show Magnifier' and 'Hide Magnifier', depending on the current state of this option.

The reason is that, for me, the magnifier is usually not necessary and a little awkward, so I usually preffer not to use it. But sometimes I need a very accurate capture and to use the magnifier. These times, I have lost some time searching where to change this option and opening its dialog.

I believe the option between to use or not the magnifier is very suitable for the 'Quick Reference' menu, because it tends to change according the context and to be shifted periodically.

Thanks again for Greenshot.

Hi Marcos,
thanks for reporting back. Good to know this works for you.
I agree, it should be easier to discover things like this... Ideally, it should be possible to discover the shortcut during usage, and we will definitely have a closer eye on those usability things in future releases.

Thanks again, feel free let us know if you need anything else,
Jens

Hi Jens. Thank you for your good answer.

Very good to know about this effect of the Z key. I didn't even suspect
about it. I believe very few Greenshot users know what you taught me. It
indeed is better than my proposal.

My suggestion now it to give this tip to all Greenshot users, as in the
attached screen.

Best regards!

Marcos

Hi Marcos,

thanks for your feedback, and thanks for your donation
you can simply hit the `Z` (=zoom) key to hide/show the magnifier. Is that sufficient for your needs? I think it is more convenient than navigating through the quick settings menu...

Thanks and best regards,
Jens
