Changing Dial Sensitivity
Hi, is there any way to change the dial object's sensitivity? I know holding shift decreases it, but I don't want to have to do that just to make dials usable at all! Ideally I don't want to use pictctrl.
Thanks,
Rob

There's no way to change that apart from holding down the shift key. Do you have an exemple of non usability?

Also the jsui dials have a sensitivity parameter, by default it's set to 1/10th the normal using Shift (as I recall), but in the js file you can change the 0.1 to whatever you want. The only problem is redraw speed when you have a lot of them, it's considerably slower than the standard dial. That said, they look pretty cool.
Cheers for the replies. Yeah i'm using a custom jsui dial now. But why can't you change the dial sensitivity?! It would take 15 minutes for one of the dev team to add it...I guess they've just got more pressing matters to attend to (like getting pluggo working again!).

Along that line, it might be nice to have integer number boxes have different levels of mousing range/rate of change when you mouse. Though I suppose using a float with its "change based upon the decimal place you mouse at" could work if you then multiply by a scale factor. Sliders could also have sensitivity options, that would be cool. I guess you could also use a vertical-only pictslider and change the tracking to emulate this.
I also wouldn't mind having an arrow-key option in floats, which you could set (which decimal place moves when you use the arrows). Again, though, the workaround is to use an int with a multiplier.

My workaround is a faderbox, best with dials for such things...
