- zooming
- nothing
In the Notepad app, it is easy: the stylus can be either a pencil or an eraser, so switching by clicking on the icon is unambiguous.
In the document viewer, it's not that easy. There is no logical 'next state' to be defined. If you're in pencil mode, you may want to either go back to 'nothing' or go to 'eraser'. When you're zoomed in, you may want to switch between 'panning' and 'nothing', but you may also want to enable the pencil.
What we could do is by clicking the icon it will cycle through the modes which are available in the current state, which may be (depending on your settings):
nothing, pencil, eraser, panning, (zooming)
I would personally exclude zooming from the list, as you don't need that too often.
Comments, thoughts? I cannot promise this will make it into 2.0 (since that's mostly finalized) but if it doesn't make it we will certainly look at this for the next version. |
One thing I would suggest is after zooming the device automatically goes into panning mode and when you press the pan icon again it goes back to full page display.
But in general, such a cycling through the options would be great and should satisfy everyone, since you can access the options much quicker from the menu.
