how to clear file magnification (aka zoom) settings?

Wing does a nice job of remembering what my "zoom" settings were for each file in my project. Very slick.

But of course, I'm never satisfied! Is there a way for me to say "clear all the zoom settings for the different files and just go back to whatever is set in my preferences?"

There's the Edit > Zoom > Reset Zoom menu item but it just resets the zoom for the current file. I'm not sure it even makes sense to do this per-file and am not sure why it was designed that way, or is that one of the things you like?

I'm just looking for a way to say, "I got a new monitor and now none of my zoom settings make sense, so let's make every file go back to the factory default and I'll start over." (This happens a lot to me as I work in different locations -- sometimes with a 15" laptop screen, sometimes with a 28" ultrawide, and sometimes with a 50" 4K TV.)

While I'm wishing...is there a way to tell what the current zoom setting is would be awesome, especially if I could get it in terms of point size. That way I could zoom the magnification to what I want, and then just say "make the default setting 8pt" or whatever.

I'm guessing this is somewhere in the .wpr or .wpu files, but I have not gone exploring in there.

This might be a good application for Presentation Mode, which is in the hamburger menu in top right. You can tell Wing to restart with a particular magnification applied to the whole UI. However, currently it's only >= 1.1 due to its original purpose and <1.0 is not allowed, so may not help.

Actually, also, would it work to just reset the Editor Font in preferences to a smaller size? I think it would still apply the zoom setting but to that smaller size, so that may be another way to work around this. Above requests noted, in any case.
