Re: [Inkscape-devel] NEW: sliders in tool controls
By the way, with the new sliders, you can no longer use directional keys to modify size in the Calligraphy tool. It's a pity, because they could be used for more precise value adjustments (it's hard to get a change of exactly 1 with the sliders).
Also, I was hoping for keyboard shortcuts to be available to the pencil tool as well, so...
Refer to my proposal for the pencil interface: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Vector-brushes
I don't have problems with the integer being replaced by a slider, but I'd still like to be able to control it somewhat with keyboard shortcuts.
Though I suppose the issue Could be easily side-stepped by entering a value 5 to 10 times smaller in the second field of my proposal, so that you drag the slider more freely...

You can, it's just not reflected by the slider. Jon Cruz is working on fixing this :)
You're right! They seem to override each other's values. Glad to know it's being fixed!
Though... the calligraphy presets don't seem to be working either? The eraser could also use a few presets (or at least be a round brush, which is what most people are used to), but that's probably being worked on.
Thanks!

ok, I just fixed reading presets - saving them needs more work
I also removed Width setting from presets - it means it's not changed when you choose a preset. I think this makes more sense because width depends more on your zoom and scale and has little to do with the character of the stroke that the preset changes. You can still, however, create presets with width which will reset width when chosen.

Yes, and strangely enough the icon standardization I'm winding up will unblock some of this toolbar work.
