This is a feature. The idea is you may wish to continue to see the
statistics from the glass even after it is turned off. So, turning on
Magnifying Glass in Image Tools does /not/ also turn on the glass
itself, it just shows the last set of stats.
To say it another way: whether the glass is active depends /only/ on
the toolbar button.
I think it is better to do this way.
1) When both Magnifying Glass (MG) in Image Tools AND MG in toolbar button
are OFF, definitely MG functions will be ON.
2) If EITHER buttons are pushed (ON) then MG functions are ON.
3) When MG function is ON, and MG in Image Tools is OFF then MG functions still
can be ON.
4) If MG in toolbar button is OFF then MG functions are OFF and toggle the
MG button in Image Tools to be OFF.
I think the this flow should be more effective, especially for step 2)
which is missing in Xephem. In short, the MG only active when both button
(from toolbar and Image tools) are ON, but once MG is active, it can only
be deactivate by using button at toolbars. This also enhance the
consistancy of the interface which, all buttons in Image Tools can activate
all related functions.
I hope this might be useful to enhance this software. If there any patches
for above, please tell me/us.
Yours,
