minor slider issue - max iterations

Open taurus66 opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

The new slider concept is great and in most cases scaled right. The only one that isn't (as far as I can see) is the one for max fractal iterations. Moving it one pixel lands in my case on 241, then 482 and so on. Is it because it controls an integer value? Maybe it is possible, to have a slider locked in the middle like the others and only the speed of counting up and down varys with the distance of slider movement. Cheers taurus

I had the same feeling about this edit field. It has very wide range, so slider is not so usable. I have to find some nice solution for it. Most of sliders for integers has not so wide range, so they work very well. This was the reason why I didn't implemented solution with deflection slider.

But for this type of edit field you can use mouse wheel to control with single step.

Ah, ok thanks. Almost forgot the mouse wheel. Mostly I avoid using it in MDB, because I triggered changes accidentially pretty often.

is this still considered an issue? I seldom use it, instead i use x2 and mouse wheel
