| xnox | mpt: what's the story behind the timezone map & zoom. I'm adding database of all locations with >>15 000 population & now clicking on London gives "Leicester, Kettering and Scarborough" but not "London" =) | 15:48 |
|---|---|---|
| mpt | xnox, 99% chance it's a bug, 1% chance it's political nonsense | 15:54 |
| xnox | mpt: I mean it's really hard to click on london on the map size it is. And with much denser amount of "targets" how to best select something "more sensible" =) | 15:58 |
| xnox | (note this is for offline installation / no-geoip case) | 15:58 |
| mpt | xnox, maybe the higher population a city is, the more it should "crowd out" points around it | 16:02 |
| xnox | mpt: hm for point & click interface I guess I want: all capitals / timezone defining points (418) + top 5 by population cities in 10x10px area around the target click.... | 16:05 |
| xnox | and cycle around them.... | 16:05 |
| * xnox shall think about it. | 16:05 | |
| mpt | xnox, perhaps it would help, when testing theories like that, to generate a chart of how much cycling is required | 16:11 |
| mpt | e.g. yellow = 1 cycle, orange = 2, red = 3, pink = 4 | 16:11 |
| xnox | mpt: the UfA proposes to do 2 click (1) zoom (2) select. | 16:12 |
| mpt | Oh cripes, UfA has it's own design for things again? | 16:12 |
| mpt | Why why why why why | 16:12 |
| mpt | xnox, we had zooming in early Ubuntu versions, about 6.10 to 8.04 | 16:14 |
| mpt | It was pestilential | 16:14 |
| mpt | xnox, is this a design document with a name on it? | 16:15 |
| xnox | mpt: I think you are aware of which document it is. Let me look up again. | 16:17 |
| xnox | mpt: note that UfA has much smaller than desktop screen. and fingers are much fatter than mouse. | 16:17 |
| mpt | I'm really not | 16:17 |
| mpt | xnox, wait, is this setup on a phone itself? | 16:17 |
| mpt | Sorry, I thought this was like the other UfA things that were slight variations of the PC version | 16:18 |
| mpt | Zooming on a phone would make a lot of sense ... Not only are fingers fatter than a mouse pointer, they can also move much more finely. | 16:19 |
| xnox | mpt: well pinch-to-zoom ideally =) | 16:19 |
| xnox | mpt: hmm... can't find it at the moment, never mind. | 16:19 |
