Version: 2.6 (using KDE 4.6.5) OS: Linux When viewing images in full screen or diaporama, there is no way to change the zoom level. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Start gwenview in full screen mode, try to change zoom level without leaving full screen. Actual Results: No button in the interface to change zoom level. Expected Results: Gwenview smartly handling the zoom level automatically, or interface elements allowing to change the zoom level.
There are no buttons for zooming in fullscreen mode, but there are a few ways for zooming without leaving fullscreen mode: 1). use the zooming actions in the context menu, or the corresponding shortcuts 2). use Ctrl + Mouse wheel for zooming
True.
To add to the list: 3). Ctrl + Left/Right click 4). Middle click to switch zoom between "Fit" and "100%" 5). Press F3 to show the status bar including the zoom buttons. (You may need to double-press.) Adding a button or a slider separately is not that useful either, because this does not allow to control the point which will be used as the zooming target (it just zooms to the center of the image). Having both widgets in non-fullscreen mode is merely a checkbox feature and not that useful too, but at least the location in the bottom bar does not obscure the picture itself (which is the point of fullscreen mode: viewing just the image without any chrome). Of course, it is important to show the level of zoom to give a sense of orientation. This already works very well with the "birds eye view". Setting this to fixed, as 5.) should be good enough.
To make this more discoverable, I might propose also showing the status bar (if it's currently hidden) when the mouse is moved up to the top or bottom of the screen. But yes, that would be an enhancement, not a feature request, since there *is* a way to show these controls.
Nice idea at first, but thinking more about this, I'm not that convinced: - The toolbar autohides, i.e. when you move to the top, the statusbar appears. Now you move to the bottom, but no luck, it already disappeared. Appearing again when reaching the bottom feels a bit clunky to me. - The top screen border is the hot border, so in order to not trigger the toolbar you move your mouse away. Having an additional hot border at the bottom would make this much more difficult, especially when presenting on external monitors. IOW, top is hot, bottom is cold. If only the middle was cold, this would not fit well with Fitts' law. - We already have 5 ways to achieve this, more discoverability is not really needed.
Fair enough.
