| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: Think this might be of any use to us (or our people)? https://github.com/stuartlangridge/magnus | 14:18 |
|---|---|---|
| OvenWerks | does it do more than alt scroll? | 14:21 |
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: where would that be used? If the text size is too small, then the default can be set higher or the application has a bug. most applications where zooming in already have internal zoom functions like graphics or even firefox | 14:25 |
| Eickmeyer | Wimpress: ^ | 14:25 |
| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: Accessibility, I would think. | 14:25 |
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: so does alt scroll not already fill that need? | 14:26 |
| Eickmeyer | Never tried it. Is that UI-wide or just in certain applications? | 14:27 |
| OvenWerks | part of xfce | 14:27 |
| Wimpress | Yes, it is primarily a a11y tool. | 14:27 |
| Wimpress | But also of use to designers who want to close inspect images etc. | 14:28 |
| Eickmeyer | So, more like a magnifying glass less like a UI magnifier. | 14:28 |
| Wimpress | Exactly light a magnifying glass. You have a window in which the area around the mouse is magnified and displayed. | 14:28 |
| Wimpress | *like | 14:29 |
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: probably I am not the one to ask. eylul or others who do mostly graphics would know better. | 14:30 |
| Eickmeyer | Personally, I think it would be a welcome addition to the graphic design aspect. | 14:30 |
| Eickmeyer | Even as a photographer this could be useful. | 14:31 |
| OvenWerks | I can think there may be an advantage to only magnifying a portion of the screen over the whole screen. | 14:31 |
| studiobot | <Eickmeyer> @azbulutlu ^ Any thoughts? | 14:31 |
| Eickmeyer | We'll see what she thinks. | 14:34 |
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: I am sure the utility is small enough that it will not make much of a dent in the iso size. :) | 14:48 |
| Eickmeyer | Agreed. | 14:55 |
| Eickmeyer | Wimpress: if you get that included in the archive, we'll add it to our seed. | 14:56 |
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: do check the depends | 14:59 |
| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: that's all in the archive. Wimpress already has a PPA made for it. We use some of those already. | 15:00 |
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: I guess I should have asked if it works in plasma too :) or if kde already has a similar utility. If so then it should be added to DE specific packages. | 15:46 |
| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: It would be added to the -desktop seed. Plasma already has something. | 15:46 |
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: you are way ahead of me then | 15:46 |
| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: Might need your help in #ubuntustudio. Gone through the usual audio troubleshooting steps, might need something deeper. | 17:07 |
