mouse zoom is confusing/ wrong with animation/ follow data
The mouse zoom is confusing/ wrong with the animation view/ add camera track/ follow data. The primary issue is that zooming with the left mouse button and zooming with the wheel act differently. This is extremely confusing to users, and needs to be fixed. Two options would work - some type of a popup warning telling users they are zooming with the wheel rather than the right button, or make the behavior the same.
Here is how to replicate.
-
Linux, master, local server.
-
Open can.exo. Apply.
-
Rotate the can around. Select a half dozen cells on the lower part of the can.
-
Extract selection. Apply.
-
Reset.
-
(Note that ExtractSelection should still be selected in the Pipeline Browser)
-
View/ Animation View/ New track/ Camera/ Follow Data/ +
-
Turn visibility on for can.exo in the pipeline browser.
-
Not necessary, but definately pretty - change variable to GlobalNodeId.
-
Play. Note that we stay zoomed on the extract selection elements. This is as it should be.
-
Zoom out with the right mouse button. Play. Note what happens to the view - it resets to have the Extract Selection fill the view. This is as it should be.
-
Zoom out with the mouse wheel. Play. Notice what happens to the view - nothing. This is NOT as it should be.
