The bug that is causing you to have to change the speed of the effect as a workaround is what should be fixed instead. Adding workarounds to bugs in the interface is not optimal. Now, about defaults, can you explain what defaults are you talking about? The default is to follow the global animation speed setting, which is user configurable. What default should be changed here in your opinion? As for the config presets, I don't see how that would help in this case. The point of presets is to quickly change frequently adjusted settings. Individual animation speed is not something the user will change often. Also, there is a big number of effects, so presets couldn't possibly cover all possible combinations of speed settings for each effect. Also, using a preset for each individual effect is no faster than changing the global animation speed slider. Please mind you the point of this bug report is NOT to remove options simply for the sake of removing options. Yes, simplification was used as one of the points for this bug report, but what's really important in this case is how controlling the same setting in multiple places adds to complexity, increases the number of untested configurations and bugs, and also leads to an inconsistent user experience. I'll give you an example: Just recently it was discovered that the blur effect suffers from a similar issue, where disabling the blur effect doesn't disable it in multiple parts of the interface simply because some effects override the blur settings individually, just like the effects here override the global speed setting. Overriding global preferences in individual effects creates problems. It should also be noted that the majority of people will never customize individual animation settings, and even you only found out about that possibility because you needed to work around a bug, otherwise, you'd have never tried to customize that setting. The drawbacks are too big to justify the minimal amount of granularity this offers. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
