SVN commit 1128570 by eikekrumbacher: Changes "Inv" button to "Shift", regroups x2 with sqrt(x) and x3 with 3rd root(x). Some cleanups with enums. Patch was discussed at reviewboard. CCBUG: 107393 GUI: M +76 -74 kcalc.cpp M +5 -5 kcalc.h M +9 -9 kcalc.ui M +2 -2 kcalc_button.cpp M +1 -1 kcalc_button.h M +2 -2 kcalc_const_button.cpp M +1 -1 kcalcdisplay.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1128570 This seems to be long since resolved, so I'm closing it for now. |
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.1) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: GCC 3.4.3-22 Fedora Core 3 x86_64 OS: Linux 1. Simultaneous display of multiple meaning buttons: When a button has two meanings (e.g Cos/Acos), toggled by the 'Inv' button, it would be nice to have a visual indicator of it, showing simultaneously the current and the alternative meaning. For example, the alternative meaning could be displayed in a small font above the button, the color of the font matching the color of the 'Inv' button. Having a setting to enable/disable this behaviour is also desirable, since some people might consider this as clutter. 2. Inv button and not 'Inverse' meaning Some multiple meanings are not 'Inverse', for example square/cube and Mod/IntDiv. Another name ('Alt' ?) might be more appropriate. 3. Logarithm/Exponential The current display of buttons is: - Ln and Log in one mode - e(x) and 10(x) in the other mode (toggled by 'Inv') I find it more useful to have: - Ln and e(x) in one mode - Log and 10(x) in the other mode Rationale: I use much more frequently expressions that mix logs and their inverse functions than logs using one base with logs using another base. Here again, a 'preferences' setting would be great. 4. Logarithm/Exponential, continued It would be nice to be able to set a base for logarithm/exponential, as Log2/2(x) is very frequently used for example.
