- 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 want them all including zooming. Because sometimes I make 2-3 trials to find the best zooming percentage and it has been hassle to go to menu for each try. Also when I re-open the document, the document does not recognize that it was left with PAN option. For me continuous reading in ZOOM function is now the most important function to be included. I guess they are not planing on adding HIGHLIGHTING in pdf documents option in the upcoming release right? In addition somebody was mentioning the possibility of changing the direction of the rotation in the landscape mode.
What IREX is doing now is AWSOME. Getting our opinion and revising the upcoming firmware as soon as possible is a great idea. That would be really nice if IREX open a new topic about the planned modifications in the upcoming 2.0 version before the offical release.
