- eraser

- 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. |
I reported this a few days ago and would like to bring it to your attention:
2.0 Beta - Minor bug with panning icon display
The panning icon on the task bar will not display properly sometimes when in panning mode.
To reproduce:
1. Open some PDF, zoom and pan.
2. while still in panning mode, leave the PDF and go back to "Books".
3. When going back to the same book, the panning icon does not show. but obviously the device is still in panning mode and works properly as such.
I guess this is tolerable but better get it fixed before the final 2.0 firmware. Thanks.
