Description Maxime Delorme 2005-04-11 10:29:16 UTC
Version:           0.7.2 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
OS:                Linux

When you zoom in the picture with the Ctrl+Shift++
I've got the problems,
1) the zoom is not center on the center of the window, so after zooming I always need to scroll the picture to see what I want to see, and it's not very easy because the image is zoomed
2) It's quite long to zoom to 300%, it should  be better to select a area with the rectangular tool and then when you click on it to zoom on the current selection, very more intuitive I think
Comment 1 Wilbert Berendsen 2005-11-01 10:16:16 UTC
These are in fact two wishes.

I second the first one: zoom in to the center of the displayed part of the image, instead of top-left edge.

Re the second one, maybe the zoom level should increase with the same proportional step, instead of the same fixed amount like it is now.
Comment 2 Maxime Delorme 2005-11-02 09:18:31 UTC

Effectively should by very usefull
> Re the second one, maybe the zoom level should increase with the same proportional step, instead of the same fixed amount like it is now. 
Should be confusing. IMHO a slider should be really better or maybe like kpdf
[+][xxx% |V][-] with fit to heigth, fit to width, shrink to window...
Comment 3 Maxime Delorme 2006-08-29 22:57:04 UTC
When I play with Ctrl+MouseWhell to zoom in / out the behaviour is quite understandable the picture move on left when I zoom in / on right when I zoom out
But it keep center when the picture is smaller than screen.

For consistency is a bit confusing.

Comment 4 Arnd Baecker 2006-12-12 10:49:17 UTC
Concerning Ctrl+MouseWheel: I think that it would be much better
if one keeps the point fixed over which the mouse pointer currently is.
This would allow for zooming into any region of interest (and not just the center) without too much panning.

Moreover: why can't one zoom in, when being in auto-fit mode?
(Presently one has to press A to leave auto-fit mode which brings a 100%
view, which usually fart too large, and then zoom out many times...)
Comment 5 caulier.gilles 2007-03-20 10:13:41 UTC
Maxime,

Related to #1 :

- 1th point is fixed in svn yesterday.
- 2nd point : we have a combo box to select a preset zoom value, like Gimp do.

Comment 7 Matthieu Moy 2007-03-20 10:44:59 UTC
Great!

That's a stupid detail, but you've just solved one of the major usability problem of the image viewer IMHO.

THANKS A LOT! (and continue the good work ;-) )
Comment 8 Arnd Baecker 2007-03-20 11:01:15 UTC
What about the suggestion in #4 concerning CTRL+MouseWheel to 
keep the place under the mouse pointer as the position around
which the zoom is done?

Also, the 10% increase when using the mouse-wheel seems
too small  at large magnifications (and too large at small
magnifications);
therefore the suggestion in #1, """the zoom level should increase with the same
proportional step, instead of the same fixed amount like it is now."""
seems like a good idea.

About this point, all is already done in editor canvas implementation, but
it won't work duing (i suspect) a bug in Qt...

Investigaution in progress to find a solution...

The previous value, before my patch is around 6% (:=)))

 at large magnifications (and too large at small

If i following you, you want not a constant zoom step, but a progressive
one, depanding of current zoom factor ? If yes, i would to have more
feedback about this point. Is other picture viewver work like this ?

The ``problem`` is that currently a change of 10% is something different
at 25% compared to 300%. While in the first case it is a big change,
in the second case this is really a small one.
Going from one zoom-level to the next should always give the 
same magnification ratio, I think.
(It seems that gqview does that pretty well, also via CTRL-mousewheel)
Comment 11 Arnd Baecker 2007-03-21 13:43:42 UTC
Maybe the following would be a simple solution:
introduce a new (user-changeable) zoom_factor, by which
the magnification gets multiplied (divided by): 
E.g. with zoom_factor=1.4 using the mousewheel for zooming would lead
to the sequence
 100%  140% 196% 274%  384% ...
and in the other direction: 
  71%  51%  36% ...

Technical remark: If the actual zoom-level is just an integer percentage, 
going up and down will lead to rounding errors. This could be prevented
by pre-generating the sequence of zoom-levels as
100% * zoom_factor**zoom_value, e.g with  zoom_value = -10, -9, ..., 10
(With zoom_factor=1.4 this covers the range from 3% to 2892%,
while with zoom_factor=1.1 this would only be 38% to 260%;
so maybe the range of zoom_value should be made dependent on the zoom_factor,
so that always a range of 10% to 1000% is covered?)

are you read my previous messages ? The mouse wheel zooming control is already implemented in editor like this :

CRTL + mousewheel ==  Zoom +/-
SHIFT + mousewheel ==  previous / next image.

look in canvas.cpp the method "void Canvas::contentsWheelEvent(QWheelEvent *e)"

But for obscurs reasons, the keyboard events is not handle at the same time than mouse wheel events by QT. I don't know why...

no, internally, it's a float value.

Sure! ;-)

Yes, I have tested this - it works fine for me

Both CTRL+mousewheel and SHIF+mousewheel work fine for me!
(Apart from the fact that the point over which the mouse
pointer currently is not kept fixed, my first remark in #8 ...)

So because it works for me, but not for you,
this must then be the reason for the confusion?

I am talking about something differnt, namely
the sequence of zoom values which is obtained when
using CTRL + mousewheel ...

OK, then it seems easier to implement (no need to care about
a stored list).

Comment 14 Arnd Baecker 2007-03-24 22:06:37 UTC
Created attachment 20089 [details]
patch for relative zooming

This simple patch illustrates how CTRL+mousewheel
zooms in/out such that the magnification is independent
of the current zoom level.
This is achieved by using a zoomStep, with value 1.2
as multiplier (or divisor) of the current zoom factor.
I think that this leads to a much more intuitive behaviour
than the current one.
Maybe it would be better to rename `zoomStep` to `zoomMultiplier`.
One could also think of making this multiplier user-configurable
(though maybe a fixed 1.2 is a good enough start).

Gilles, if I understand you correctly, CTRL+mousewheel
does not work for you, right?
For me it does, so could it be some window-manager
or X configuration issue?
If you need further details of my configuration,
just let me know.

Best, Arnd
Comment 15 caulier.gilles 2007-03-24 22:15:01 UTC
Arnd,

This patch sound fine. Give me a new version renaming zoomStep to zoomMultiplier

1.2 witch be a fine value to start. We will see if user will request something to configure this value in setup later 0.9.2-beta1.

About my problem with CTRL+mouse wheel, it appear only on my new laptop. All others computers work properlly. And yes, it sound like a X11 conf problem. i will trying to fix it.

- pan icon view is just more larger (90*60) ==> (120*80). More adapted to large screen.

digiKam from trunk : image editor improvement : persistant selection of image in all cases : Zoom In, Zoom out, Fit to Window, and Resize Event.

- The AutoZoom option have been renamed "Fit To window". Keyboard Shortcut still CTRL+SHIFT+A
- A new option have been added to menu and tool bar to Fit to Selection the current image. You can perform a zoom to the selected area. Keyboard Shortcut is CTRL+SHIFT+S

Gerhard, the handbook need to be fixed. Thanks in advance.
