Hi all (especially Reimar, Andreas and Robert),

I've improved the existing implementation a bit, and think it works a lot
smoother now. What do you think?

Cheers,
Johannes

Hi Johannes,

yes, scaling works nicely now and no flicker - this seems to be fixed.
(And, btw., I am impressed that the last few builds just ran through
without even a warning - good work!)

However, there remain some issues with saving the layout:

* Not only the scaling factor of the preview image resets to tiny (I
mostly use the largest possible size)

* the whole annotation dialog has weird default scaling (column widths etc.)

* it even comes up bigger than my screen after each new start of KPA.
So I have to find the title bar, drag the window, to find the widgets in
the top right corner and scale to full window.

* Maybe it is just my layout with too many columns? Example included.

Cheers, Andreas

I can see this issue as well. I'm not sure yet what causes it...

Hi everybody,

recently, I noticed some odd behaviour (with the last few builds from git):

After a few selections (eg. select one quality setting, then a person,
then a location), only a subset of the icons in the main window remain.
Attached is a fairly extreme case. This is quite repeatable but not
wholly consistent. Some selections do not cause this behaviour, others
have a less drastic effect.
There is an easy remedy: Just hit the redraw button or scale the main
window.

However, this is not good for the waf (wife acceptance factor).

I actually saw this once too, but I don't know yet how to reproduce it. You're
totally right about the WAF though ;-)

Hi Andreas,

The issue has been on my list for some time. Your mail provided a good reason
for delving into it...

This should be fixed by commit 9be9f02.

Cheers,
Johannes
