  There's already keyboard shortcuts for this: hold Ctrl+Shift and scroll the mouse wheel to jump to half/double zoom, which lets you easily get to e.g. 200% or 50% zoom, and press Ctrl+0 to jump back to 100% zoom.

  No, Construct 2 projects (.capx) and C3 projects using the C2 runtime will be supported and openable in Construct 3 forever, providing they are compatible with the C3 runtime.

  The formats supported is determined by the browser. You can see the supported video encode formats in Construct's About dialog. IIRC Chrome and Firefox only support WebM videos with VP8/VP9, and Safari supports MP4 videos with H.264. You can probably also find tools to transcode a WebM video to MP4 as well.

  I don't think C3 qualifies as using ECS.

  There are no official features in Construct that still use WebStorage, so you will have to use scripting.

  In general it's impossible to tell from posts like this. We have the bug report guidelines that require specific information because it's usually impossible to help without it.

  My best guess from using telepathic debugging is you are passing a destroyed instance, which is a bug in your addon code, not Construct, and that any change in r237 was an unrelated internal change that made your addon's bug go from innocuous to failing.

  The error message is due to an invalid expression ("Syntax error: '-' can't go here - are you missing something before it?").

  Construct 2 had some bugs where it incorrectly allowed invalid expressions. Construct 3 is more robust and verifies expressions more correctly. However it means if your C2 project relies on a C2 bug that allows an invalid expression, it won't import in to C3. You'll need to open it in C2, find an invalid expression using '-', fix it, save and then it should import to C3.

  Well, since you posted this in the scripting forum, the solution would be to access local storage via the localStorage browser API.

  Firefox doesn't support installing web apps at the moment. Chrome and Edge can though.

  See Icons & Splash in the manual.

  This error is exactly why you need a web server.

  If you want to run a game on a local desktop system offline, then the best alternative is one of the desktop exports (e.g. Windows WebView2).

  I just did a debug APK build and it worked fine. So I can't see that anything's wrong with the build server here.

  Check the filename you're fetching really is correct. Some devices also have case-sensitive filenames, and you mix the case of the file extension (.json/.JSON), so try making it matches exactly and case-sensitively. Just use lowercase for everything is the easiest approach.

  Scaling up in Construct by resizing the object is much better. If you resize the actual image to be larger, it will needlessly waste memory.

  Again, ToBeautifiedString already calls JSON.Stringify internally, and then you are still calling JSON.Stringify a second time via scripting. It's definitely wrong to stringify twice, you should only do it once, and if that doesn't work for some reason, figure out why and solve that problem instead.
