map preview SCALE and SIZE launch commands no longer working
Hey,

I'd really like to get the map preview to show without having to scroll the window around, but when I try and use either command, no matter the value I put in nothing seems to change on my end.

I know of "max-map-preview-chunk-side" in the ini but I can't seem to find launch parameters for scale (or zoom/size), could you share them with the google-handicapped me so I can try to figure it out?
Perhaps they were removed by later updates, which would be why they don't work? https://wiki.factorio.com/Command_line_parameters

--map-preview-size
--map-preview-scale
--map-preview-offset
At the very least they don't work in 0.18 but the page states 0.17.79 so I'm downloading that version to see if they do there.
I'm sure you are going to facepalm as much as I did when you will read this but those 3 map preview arguments are for the "generate-map-preview" arguments just above them in the list that make map previews as image files.
I should have thought about that as soon as I saw "in pixels" to be honest.

The only thing (as far as I can tell) that impacts the ingame map preview is the max-map-preview-chunk-side that you can find line 30 in config.ini and it is only to increase or decrease the amount of chunks for the width and height (you also have a setting right after for the amount of threads to use to render that preview if you want it to be quicker or to use less CPU).
