Rotary knob GUI elements - should you move the mouse in a circle to
operate them, or up and down? What about side to side?
My opinion...
circle: no.
up and down: yes.
scroll wheel: yes.
left and right: up to you.
i like distance scaling - the further the mouse is from the center of
the knob, the coarser the changes in response to whatever motion
drives changes.
I like it too, but there always are unwanted changes while you go away from the
center. I think that a good workaround could be up and down with fine-tuning
(eg: Ctrl + move up/down).
