Edited by: Mynxee on 16/10/2009 13:53:39 Research of topics already considered by CSM seems to indicate that this one hasn't been considered (unless I missed it), although similar/related ideas have been discussed or mentioned in the Features and Ideas forum.
I want to be able to set the d-scanner range with a single click on a range value rather than having to select the slider button and move it to the desire range. Please replace the range slider with either a radio button for available range settings (5, 15, 30, 60, 90, 180, 360) or some kind of segmented, labeled bar where you click on the segment desired to select a range.
Sliders are annoyingly time consuming to use. My proposed change would allow faster selection for every range option and instant accuracy (elusive 15 degree range, this means you).
If you post in support of this idea, please don't forget to select the "support" check box before submitting your reply!!!

Yes, yes and thrice yes. The angle slider on the D-scanner is incredibly frustrating to use. Would be nice if there were the option to chnage the range units between AUs and KM as well.

Edited by: Murdah on 16/10/2009 13:55:36 Definitely supported! Need something like this for the distance as well, which should of course be able to be switched to AU, too. It's gonna rain down Murdah |

Isn't this the part where I should say "ZOMG you want to make scanning people down and ganking them easier!!!!one!!eleven!!uno!!"
Actually, it sounds like a good idea - that angle slider is a huge PITA especially trying to hit the smallest angles. --Vel

Edited by: Mynxee on 16/10/2009 19:30:39 My original post is confusingly written as originally presented, mixing the terms range and angle inaccurately. Now that it has supports, it is not allowed to be edited. I knew I shoulda waited for that 4th cup of coffee to kick in before posting. Anyway, my original intent was to focus on angle selection. What I meant to express was this:
I want to be able to set the d-scanner ANGLE with a single click on an angle value rather than having to select the slider button and move it to the desired angle. Please replace the angle slider with either radio buttons for available settings (5, 15, 30, 60, 90, 180, 360) or some kind of segmented, labeled bar where you click on a segment to select a desired angle.
Sliders are annoyingly time consuming to use. My proposed change would allow faster selection for every angle option and instant accuracy (elusive 15 degree angle, this means you).
Of course, easier range selection would be nice as well. What comes to mind is a combo box where you can type in any value up to max range, or select preset values from a dropdown menu. In a perfect world, those preset values could be part of the user's custom configuration of their EVE client via the Options window.

Supported. Fix the silly scanner delay while you're at it. Now one has to click 3-4 times over the course of 5 seconds just to make sure the latest scan with the new scan res took.

The AU/KM thing drives me nuts and changing out the slider bar for something else is a good idea too.

The angle slider used to have equal spacing between the selectable angles so that all ( even 15% ) were easy to select , then someone thought it'd be a good idea to make the slider proportional to the angle being selected thereby making it extremely fiddly to select he angles that are closer together at one end of the scale.
-10/10 for ui design
Put it back to the way it was before , equal spacing between selectable angles.
