[Bug 686128] Re: Zoom / scroll behaviour is inconsistent with other Gnome programs
Eog now uses dconf instead of gconf so if one want to set the value it false so that the application integrates better in gnome, you must $ sudo apt-get install dconf-tools $ dconf-editor Go to org/gnome/eog/view and uncheck scroll-wheel-zoom -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/686128 Title: Zoom / scroll behaviour is inconsistent with other Gnome programs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/eog/+bug/686128/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

upstream says it's not a bug Yes, that's right. We violate the HIG on purpose here, since the feedback we received when we switched behaviour the last time was mostly negative and we don't have plans to enforce the HIG against the will of the users.

(see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479884) Then there's still the GConf/GSettings key to switch to modes that is also mentioned in the Launchpad report if you really want to follow HIG guidelines. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #479884 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479884 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/686128 Title: Zoom / scroll behaviour is inconsistent with other Gnome programs -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 686128] Re: Zoom / scroll behaviour is inconsistent with other Gnome programs
The current behaviour violate the Gnome HIG (http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/2.32/input-mouse.html.en, serach for 'zoom'). The relevant text is quoted here for convenience: Ctrl+scrollwheel-up should zoom into the window or control under the mouse pointer, and Ctrl+scrollwheel-down should zoom out. ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: New = Confirmed ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: Confirmed = Triaged ** Changed in: eog (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #640657 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640657 ** Also affects: eog via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640657 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/686128 Title: Zoom / scroll behaviour is inconsistent with other Gnome programs -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Added OneHundredPapercuts as affected projects, as this seems to be a valid papercut, a small inconsistency issue, that is easy to fix, by changing one preference. ** Also affects: hundredpapercuts Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/686128 Title: Zoom / scroll behaviour is inconsistent with other Gnome programs -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 686128] Re: Zoom / scroll behaviour is inconsistent with other Gnome programs
I found a few of the old bug reports that explain why the behaviour is the way it is by default. The idea was that users usually only had a vertical scrollwheel so that should be used for zoom and the user could drag the image around with the mouse. Currently dragging doesn't work so that leaves a broken UX at the moment with current behaviour. Also, a number of mice and touchpads have scrolling in both X and Y directions (both my machines do) which changes the arguments a wee bit. The gconf setting Marcel noted works and eog behaves as expected when it is set.

[Bug 686128] Re: Zoom / scroll behaviour is inconsistent with other Gnome programs
There is actually a setting for that but it is not exposed in the preferences window - I think adding this preference (I'm not sure about changing the default) would be useful. Maybe a papercut (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut)? To change the setting open the gconf-editor (Alt+F2: gconf-editor) and navigate to apps-eog-view. Then uncheck the scroll_wheel_zoom checkbox. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/686128 Title: Zoom / scroll behaviour is inconsistent with other Gnome programs -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
