Shelf "camera" plugin

Back in 6.0 there was a shelf plugin that I think was called “camera”.
It showed a blowup of the pixels around the mouse pointer.

While it was more annoying than useful, it is occasionally useful.
It doesn’t seem to exist in 6.2. Can I re-add it to the shelf?

I swear I said DON’T SAVE stylized text.

Add a new plug-in, click browse and it’s called ptrcam.so
(/usr/photon/dll/shelf/ptrcam.so)

Thanks.

OMG! The new one is HUGE!

ALso, cross hairs would have been nice. What I want is to confirm
that I’m over the correct pixel, if possible.

I figured it out. It uses the width of the side shelf and makes a
square box.
