Now my question: what about zooming ? For keyboard
shortcuts,
Ardour uses '+' to zoom out and '-' to zoom in. This is
consistent with the idea that the user modifies the clipbox.
But I still have to think before using it, each time, and I
could easily imagine using '+' to zoom in. In fact I have no
clear preference.
Then there's the questions of icons. If in addition to the
arrows in a scrollbar you would also have small buttons to
zoom in and out, what should they look like ?
Hi,
I've started to use a "Scalebar" in my last project (
http://www.matthiasm.com/flScale.html )
And a believe it's an interface element that's quite useful, it works
like a scrollbar, but has little buttons attached at the ends of the
sash that manipulate the zoom level by dragging and streching the
sash.
It's also quite intutive, provided the user understands the concept of
a scrollbar, which most users hopefully do ;)
