Follow-up Comment #10, bug #20317 (project mypaint):
* Icon seems okay; binoculars would not be 'more obvious' to me.
* I'd like to be able to turn off the preview rectangle, personally. It's too
distracting.
* Unless the picture is highly symmetrical, the orientation seems obvious to
me. But a little 3..5 pixel high arrow on the top of the rectangle wouldn't
make it much more distracting than it already is.
Also a bug report:
* Your version effectively connects the main canvas zoom and the preview zoom,
meaning I only actually get an overview when zoomed to 150% or more - at other
times I get a small thumbnail in the middle of a sea of background color. I
find this quite frustrating. I believe this is a consequence of forcing the
visible area to be large enough that the rectangle fits fully in it, even if
there is no content in some parts of the rectangle.
* It makes sense to me to limit the preview extents to the area that actually
has content, and if the rectangle extends outside this, to show little arrows
at the edges of the preview to indicate this.
* In any case, it would also help to show a crosshairs at the centre of the
rectangle; this would make the above fix more intuitive and make using
Symmetry require less trial-and-error.
