Hi all, I've been playing with the newly added "min-max map unit scale" feature. While this is a great feature to have, I think in it's current form it's rather confusing for users.
Currently, when clicking the little settings icon next to a size in map units, a dialog with "maximum scale" and "minimum scale" appears. It's not immediately obvious as to what these settings actually do - do they prevent the style showing outside these scale ranges? does the symbol size reset to some default value outside these ranges? or is the size clamped to the size it would take at these max/min scale ranges? It took a bit of experimenting for me to work out that this last behavior is what occurs. I think it would make a lot more sense if these max/min sizes were instead given in "mm", and the labels renamed to "Maximum size" / "Minimum size". To me this is much more intuitive - it would be immediately obvious that the size is set in map units, but limited so that it never become larger or smaller than these set size limits. This would take this feature from being an advanced feature which takes a lot of experimenting to tweak correctly to something I'd use on a regular basis! What's everyone else's thoughts on this?
