Here are some more issues I noticed while testing the new version: • The new control to turn off the scroll wheel is not what was requested, because it completely disables the scroll wheel, even when used with modifier keys like “shift”.
The problem that needs to be solved is that many touch pads are configured so that motion near the edge of the touch pad acts like scroll wheel motion. This results in lots of accidental scroll wheel motion when using the mouse (which is not a mouse, but actually a touch pad) which can mess up the settings of any selected building/flag. To solve this problem, I requested the ability to prevent the unmodified scroll wheel from having any effect. I supplied a patch implementing the desired behavior. The scroll wheel continued to work in combination with modifier keys, and the control-scroll-wheel combination (or maybe it was alt-scroll-wheel, I don't remember) was added that does the same as the unmodified scroll wheel. It is better to allow modified scroll wheel events to continue to work, because they do not happen by accident. Can things please be changed so that the new control only disables _unmodified_ scroll wheel events? • New bug: It is very difficult to see the intensity distinctions of the fertility map. A better choice of color and intensities might help. • Old problem: The volume control in settings does not give any hint as to which direction indicates louder sound. It would be better if the words “loud” and “quiet” were next to the appropriate ends of the control. • Old problem: It would be better if one could choose how often autosave files were made. In particular, it would help when testing a release to be able to set the autosave interval to a shorter duration. • Old bug: It would be better if building/flag status indicator dots were drawn on top of flag circles. Right now, a blue flag circle can completely hide indicator dots. (Yes, following my suggestion would require drawing buildings in two phases: one phase before flags and another after flags.) I hope these comments are helpful. -- Joe _______________________________________________ glob2-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/glob2-devel
