Could Krita's one probably be improved? Sure, for instance, one of the improvement for 2.4 I made was to add a "multiplier" to the widget: http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/100217/s/23/ So that cover the second part of Peter's proposal. But as I said in an email to krita's mailing list: "Both solutions have the same effect for user, but I think Peter's suggestion is visually nicer and would solve Lukas's objection that the combobox takes space. However, the current solution is good enough for me, meaning I am unlikely to take the time to implement it..." http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-kimageshop&m=129440709614122&w=2 And I don't think anyone in Krita has time for this. But if kdenlive wants to take the code and improve it, I am more than willing to point it out for them. > I > haven't tried Krita 2.3 yet, but one of Kdenlive guys told me your > widget doesn't seemt o support mouse wheel rolling.

Right now > Kdenlive folks don't even know where to start from. Sure. I guess the first stop would be for them to make a copy though. The rule for kdelibs is to have two applications using a class. The problem with having a copy is that they tend to get out of sync... but then it is good until the class mature. -- Cyrille Berger Skott And from Boudewejn Rempt: Let them contact us on #krita or on the mailing list and I'm sure we can cooperate on moving the widget to kdelibs. I'm not sure about mouse wheel support, but if that's not in, it's not more than a couple of lines of code, so tha would be easy enough. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
