Hi Pierre!
I would populate it with the view and rating controls for the selected image in preview.
- 100%
Zoom In
Zoom Out
Fit image to window
Fit image to window height
Fit image to window width
etc.
(some of these need icons!!!)
Excellent
Good
Poor
Personal move to next image
etc.
...essentially most of the various image viewing and rating tools would go on this toolbar for me. Since I need the preview for most of my rating activities and DON'T customarily use the rating activities when
no preview is showing, tying these functions to the visibility of the preview will reduce the clutter on the main toolbar.
I might even stick the navigation tools (Next/Previous image) on there.
Actually, each browser panel should have its own toolbar in the manner that the thumbs panel has
its own (aka the "mini"). FWIW, I've never been a fan of Apple's "One toolbar to rule them all" approach.
If each panel had its own "captive" toolbar populated with relevant controls
by default, then more functionality could be exposed without overloading the main toolbar or requiring "discovery" by the user.
The user could choose to:
- - Hide or show each panel toolbar when its parent panel is visible
- Reposition the panel toolbar within its parent panel (but not outside of it)
- Populate the toolbar with whichever controls are relevant to the function of the panel and the user's specific needs
Thanks for listening!
PS. A preview
viewing-only gamma slider (not currently implemented) would be a great!
