Package: qiv
Version: 2.0-4.2
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I want to improve zoom experience. Now is zoom (+) unusable for large
zooms.
Details:
Now qiv is using additive zooming, like:
100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150,... %
This is not comfortable for larger zooms, because of 2 things:
1) zoom difference is decreasing with increased zoom.
Example:
Difference between 240 and 250 % is only 4%
(240-250/250), and this difference is still decreasing with
increased zoom factor.
2) each zoom step takes some amount of time, and it is unusable
and when I want some large zoom.
Example:
If I want 800 % zoom, and each zoom step takes 1 second, it would take
me over 1 minute ( (800-100)/10=70 s ), because I have to do 60 zoom
steps. (Moreover with increased zoom factor, the time increases too,
so the time could be much larger).
Solution:
I propose to use multiplicative zoom. And I even suggest to use some
larger factor of zoom, than 1,1 (10 %).
I maybe suggest factor of 2, so the zooms would be:
100, 200, 400, 800,... %
Maybe, this factor is to large, so we add zooms "in the middle", so
factor can be sqrt(2)=1.414
100, 141.4, 200, 282.8, 400, 565.7, 800,... %
For more precise zooms (but I think that they are not needed in
practice), we can use something like 2^(1/3), or 2^(1/4) etc...
What do you think?
Regards,
Lada Dobias
