0.5.1 -- bugs and wishes

[ftom]

hello,
playing around with the new release I've found couple strange things:

1. tune button
* I miss the ok button next to reset all (which works as autotune).
when I'm happy with tuning, I have to finish the job with the cross.
* when I hover the cursor over the tune button, the processor runs on
100% and when I open the tune window, it freezes for a while. perhaps
its doing some heavy calculations?
* zoom exhibits some weird behaviour -- it works until the image fits
the window, when it doesn't, the image is zoomed properly for about a
second and then it falls back to maximum size fitting the window.

2. workplace
* wish: could it be possible to use mouse draging to choose more then
one image (not only ctrl + left or shift + left)?

thnx, ftom

The dailog has been designed according to Apple Human Interface
Guidelines (section Window elements):

The right way to finish the dialog is the close button. An user
tunes somethink and when satisfied, simply close the dialog.

Now, I see that the behauviour can be confusing for users of other
toolkits because they expects different look and feel. I will try
to fit the interface more close to individual platforms in future.

Prehaps a bug, I unable to reproduce the freeze. I'll check it.

Yes, that a bug.

Ok. It will be implemented.

Thank you very much for the response and ideas.
