Dear all,
I don't know what made the new slider UI come through, but it absolutely sucks. Why in gods earth does the text input reside beneath the slider drag?
It's not beneath, it's on top of it. Although, it does depend on how you look at it, I suppose. You did notice that upper portion of it is "direct" value setting and lower part is being used to "fine tune" that value, didn't you? Widget itself is taken from GIMP, but is poorly implemented in Inkscape.
Every time I want to set a blur I have to really be afraid to drag
the friggin slider to 90+% and then wait and pray for Inkscape to recover from this mishap.
Inkscape's fault, if you ask me. Blur should be much, much faster.
The same for transparency. Can the sliders and the
number input please be separated into their own objects rather than this highly frustrating BS object?
Especially with blur it is not immediately obvious whether you have actually clicked the right object (text input) and then click again to try and select the number input while Inkscape goes haywire calculating 90+% blurs for every friggin click you make. Don't know how this behaves on 1024x768, but this is absolutely unworkable on highres screens. The disfunctionality of this solution is not worth the few pixels gained for the slider control.
It should be fixed as soon as Inkscape gets ported to newer version of toolkit it uses for GUI.
Hopefully, it's obvious that I like new slider better. ;-)
Cheers, Vladimir
Cheers, keep up the good work ;-)
