Last Saturday 17 July 2004 22:30, Chris Cannam was like:
Oh no! This subject has just been the subject of a
200+-article
flamewar (sorry, I mean constructive discussion) over on LAD. Are
sliders always better than knobs, or do knobs have their place? Is
it better to operate knobs linearly, or with a rotary mouse motion?
I have one thing to say on this subject.
I find these kind of controls work the opposite way to the one I want in RG
when using the mouse scroll wheel (my preference usually). Is it possible to
reverse the polarity of RG's interpretation of scrollwheel events?
If things generally increased when I scroll up and decreased when I scroll
down, I wouldn't give a monkeys' whether it was a knob, slider or some newly
invented wonder widget.
