[15:48] <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" =)
[15:54] <mpt> xnox, 99% chance it's a bug, 1% chance it's political nonsense
[15:58] <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)
[16:02] <mpt> xnox, maybe the higher population a city is, the more it should "crowd out" points around it
[16:05] <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.
[16:11] <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
[16:12] <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
[16:14] <mpt> xnox, we had zooming in early Ubuntu versions, about 6.10 to 8.04
[16:14] <mpt> It was pestilential
[16:15] <mpt> xnox, is this a design document with a name on it?
[16:17] <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?
[16:18] <mpt> Sorry, I thought this was like the other UfA things that were slight variations of the PC version
[16:19] <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.
