GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 599944
zoom steps seem too small
Last modified: 2010-02-07 10:59:33 UTC
Currently each click of the zoom icons only has a small effect on the timeline. It takes a lot of clicks to zoom in/out a usable amount. I think the zoom steps should be increased dramatically to speed up usage.
I would argue this is a duplicate of bug #586025 ; what do you think?
A zoom slider as in #586025 would be much more useful, but maybe the zoom factor for the buttons could be quickly adjusted until a slider is coded?
My personal non-dev opinion is that this would have to be made so that the buttons "jump" through zoom levels, and not that the zoom levels themselves be reduced; many zoom levels is a very important feature for use with the scroll wheel (ctrl+mousewheel); otherwise you lose a lot of precision in editing. And from my limited knowledge/guess, it shouldn't be more difficult to replace those two buttons by a gtk slider widget, rather than changing how the buttons behave. At least in theory.
