Re: [Protux-devel] Vertical zoom fixed

There is a way !

I just found out that there is a way to accept movements WITHOUT moving.
It is just a matter of compensate the move by hard-positioning the mouse back
to the position detected on the begining of movement (simple huh ?)

for example

jog action starts. JMB detects the mouse position at 750x333

jog is performed. For each movement, the deltas are computed (delta x and delta 
y) to calculate the jog amount , BUT 
the mouse is hard positioned on 750x333 back

jog is finished. The ¨mouse-lock¨ status is finished.


All this, combined with very special cursors (figures) would give really a 
feeling of freddom.

Also I had an idea that everytime a jog is performed (initiated) there could be 
some kind of fast drawing
from the mouse position to the thing that would be affected . It is a very 
radical ideia. follow me.


a jog-pan for track 3 starts. A kind of lamp (like those is the real life 
storms) flashes very quickly from the
mouse until the track 3 panel. A kind of brigh rounded glass is drawing UPON 
the pan control to indicate that
it will be affected. All this takes about half second - it is pretty fast.
then the jog starts, the cursor changes.. and so on..
