Feature request: Graph overview manipulation. #46

Open nanotechz9l opened 8 years ago

nanotechz9l commented 8 years ago

It would be ideal if users were able to control both graphs by long pressing the mouse over the graph overview window. Currently one has to click on each (right or left) graph to manipulate it. This is not efficient if one has to see all changes to both graphs at the same time. Being able to control both by default would be more streamlined. If one needed to manipulate one at a time they can simply click inside the applicable graph and move/inspect changes one by one.

This is a problem hard to deal with as the IDA's APIs doesn't let you do that. I know is not efficient but, unless I write myself a graph viewer with resizing/moving/etc... support, I don't see how to fix this. It will not be soon if I'm able to fix it at all... Sorry.

Understood thanks!

Dug into this a bit and could not find a solid way of doing it without re-working IDAPython plugin. It is definitely an issue that should be addressed.

I think that the "best" would be to do something outside IDA, like the Zynamics guys decided to do with BinDiff: a tool outside IDA where one can use a good graphing engine.

FYI Pinged the guys at IDA to see what they can recommend.

What said Arnaud?

This is still a problem in 2023. I should think about how to fix this... If anyone has any idea, it would be very welcome.
