[BUG-228866] [Camera Presets] Optimize camera controls floater size #6851

Open sl-service-account opened 4 years ago

sl-service-account commented 4 years ago

How would you like the feature to work?

Camera controls floater is too large. One solution could be to have a collapse and expand button, marked with << and >> like other collapsable menus in the viewer.

Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?

The new camera controls floater now includes preset options since build 6.4.2.541639 DRTVWR-460 Camera Presets.

Previously Camera Controls took up only about half the screen real estate that it does now. Many prefer to control the camera with this menu, over keyboard and mouse, so reducing the size of the camera controls floater would be appreciated.

Yes please to this either the extended section can open and shut, also to resize the floater would be very helpful

Wasn't the entire original point of the camera controls floater as an Accessibility Tool for people who might struggle to hold down a mouse button and pan around?  Or for Viewer arrangements where that might not be easy to do?  Wouldn't shrinking it down eliminate it's primary use case?

I'm aware of at least one person who used to use the camera tool floater to look around in SL because their hands weren't steady enough, but I believe in those days the tool was resizable to accommodate errant / imprecise clicks.
