Hello SkyDemon team,
here's my little suggestion that I think would improve the usability of SkyDemon Flight Planning for PC (I'm using SD 3.3.2 on Windows 8.1):
Launch SkyDemon plan.
Open or create a route.
Click on any secondary pane (with Auto Hide = off), e.g. Virtual Radar, and scroll the mouse wheel: the zoom level of the Virtual Radar pane will change, as expected.
Now,
without clicking
, move the mouse pointer over to the main map pane and scroll the wheel.
Expected result
: the zoom level
of the map pane
changes accordingly (since the mouse pointer is placed over the map pane).
Actual result
: the zoom level of the Virtual Radar pane (which is still selected by the click at point 3) changes instead, evidently because the 'scroll wheel' event of the mouse is set to apply to the pane selected, rather than to the pane over which the mouse pointer is located.
This concept of the scroll event that should always follow the mouse pointer, regardless of which window or pane is selected, is a real PITA on Windows, where it is applied inconsistently (e.g. Adobe Reader and Google Maps on Chrome correctly respond to it, but Windows Explorer itself doesn't). On other platforms (e.g. Linux/Gnome) it is the standard, and I think it makes for a much more natural user interface.
What do you guys think? It's a detail, I know, but attention to details matters.
