Thank you for the kind words and suggestions.
I like the idea of adding a clickable cross to quickly zero a variation. This
is more obvious than the current control. With version 1.5.0 you are able to
zero or quickly remove a variation from the table by clicking the variation
name with the middle mouse button. Unfortunately, this is of no use if you
don't have a middle mouse button, so I agree that using a double-click would
also be an improvement.

Thanks for your answer.
Finaley, after a while of thinking, I think that the cross idea is not a good
solution. I mean, I think that the main problem of the variations editor is
that we've to click to see the variations list, than in this really little view
whe've to scroll to find a variation name, than click on it.
It would be really simpler if Qosmic adpots the same idea than Apophysis : a
plate list of usable variations, each value draggable to quick set it (this is
the case actualy), and a double click action to set it to zero. The cross is no
more needed here since clicking to the cross wouldn't remove the element from
the list, but only set it to zero.
The more important thing - the really good idea of Apophysis - add a checkbox
to filter on the actives variations (the non zero ones)
What do you think of that ?

The variations editing widget was updated in the most recent release (1.5.0).
What you've described sounds similar to how the widget functioned with the
1.4.8 and previous releases. There's a picture of the 1.4.8 version of the
widget in the images directory
http://qosmic.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/images/qosmic-screen1.4.8_1.jpg
I changed this widget because I wanted to easily preview how each of the
available variations might change the image. The idea was that, instead of
individually setting each variation's value to a non-zero value and then
clearing it, it would be more convenient if I could just set a value (eg. 1.0)
and then scroll through a list of available variations while previewing how the
new variation altered the image. There is a problem with this approach since a
given value has a different meaning for each variation, but it can give you
some idea about how a new variation might alter the image, and then you can
adjust the value once you've found a suitable variation.
The current version of the widget displays in the table only variations that
have a non-zero value. We could add a toggle control to indicate that all zero
valued variations should be displayed as well. Do you think this would give
you the functionality you've described? I haven't looked at the Apophysis UI
for quite a while, so I'm not sure if this would be the same as what is
provided there.
Adding a double click control to clear a variation's value instead of adding a
clickable cross sounds like a good idea too, and it should be easier to
implement.
