Hi Vesa & all, Foreword: the current properties of AutomatableModel like min, max, step size etc. date back to when we did the model/view split. Step size hasn't been seen as a view-specific property as it was directly related to altering data (values) and thus got moved to the model.

That sounds reasonable especially in conjunction with the yet-to-be-implemented fitter class. ATM I can't think of situations where continuous values on the model/algorithm side could harm or break existing functionality (maybe some specific floating point issues?) - correct me if I'm wrong. The fitter class then even could be implemented on the view-side instead (AutomatableModelViewFitterBase, AutomatableModelViewStepFitter etc.) -> widgets don't retrieve values via model()->value() but fitter()->value() (the same for setting values of course which is important for things like the power-of-2-spinboxes). The fitter class would be responsible for providing the best user experience while internally the models always would be completely accurate.
