Using location search + year seek issue #109

Open pdille opened 4 years ago

pdille commented 4 years ago

When you select a location from search, the viewer begins to move you to there. With our parabolic motion logic (important for raster video tile layers), you are seeked back to the first year of the timeline. However, when you reach your searched destination, it does not seek you back to the year you were at.

Interesting. What if we disabled the "seek to 0" behavior for parabolic motion if either (a) there's no raster video tile layer, or if (b) if time is paused? If we're already paused, I think generally the user could be unhappy with changing the time to 0. And if we're already paused, even with a raster video tile layer, the performance will be better than with free-running time, because the seek is simpler not trying to hit a moving target.
