Always run at full speed when hiding child model (when interactive)? #136

Closed arthurhjorth closed 5 years ago

arthurhjorth commented 5 years ago

while revising the levelspace paper I was reviewing the models to make sure they were up to scratch for 6.1.0. Specifically I looked at the Wolf Chase Sheep LS model, and slowed down the chase model to see what was happening. When I hid it, the parent model still ran extremely slowly.

On the one hand, maybe it's annoying to automatically take over control on a model that the user has specifically slowed down. On the other hand, when would one ever want a model that one is not even looking at to run slowly?

If we decide to do this, we could save the speed state of a model and revert to that once the user shows it again?

Thoughts, @qiemem ? Anyone else?

When you reshow the model should it remember the last speed you had it at or set the speed to the parent's speed?

That's a really good question. I think when I'm playing through the use cases in my head, that I would prefer for it to run at its parent's speed. But that's just my gut feeling. What do you think?

Um, I think full speed actually makes more sense now that I think about it. Doesn't seem like there's much point in limiting it.

arthurhjorth commented 5 years ago

Maybe, yeah. I don't think I have too strong feelings about any of these options. For "event-zoom" models it is nice to be able to open them and play them slowly during the critical event. (Though it does raise a question of whether we want to introduce a programmatic way of dealing with this too...)

Oh, I'll have it remember the speed from when it was hidden. So we'll get that for free.
