Default Project Zoom Out Limits

Could we have a project zoom out limit in the project settings for a start and end time/bar/timecode of the project? It happens too often that you zoom out and all the items are on the left side of the arrange view. A project limit could offer a maximum zoom out range.

I don't think it needs a limit, I think zoom should work better by default. There are some mouse modifiers that help but don't really solve in full.

If I need to zoom out fully to the whole project, I use a dedicated action for that ("View: Zoom out project")... it didn't fail me so far.

Just zooming general is kludgey, will demo later if time permits. For one it shouldn't zoom out to 5000 measures ever mostly sorta kinda.

Project limit in the project settings doesn't have any disadvantage vor anybody but let's you zoom out to the full project length very quickly using the mouse wheel. So why wouldn't it be good?
Counterquestion: Why would you want to zoom out more than the length of your project? If your project gets longer than expected, you just could adapt the project limit...

Not for zooming. But I find that I have to add blank items at the end to hear the full reverb of the last bits of audio. So I'd rather have a limit in terms of bars/seconds for the audio rathern than the zooming.

Set the option to include a tail.

+1, I like Reaper zooming (a lot, actually). And I have a "Zoom out to project" shortcut, but I'd rather be able to do that with a simple mousewhel movement. This is a good idea.

Adding a +1 to SOMETHING that gets zooming under better control than the existing setup.

I have learned to live with it, but in terms of detailed MIDI editing it is a total PITA.

X-raym - Thanks for that tip. Yet another setting I had completely overlooked!

Is there also an option als for playback? I know that I can set a tail for rendering, but the playback stops abruptly which annoys me.

I thought you could at the item level and I was hoping that would do it but I could be wrong. Will try to check when I can.
