Pattern gap sliders only work in 20% steps
Summary:
The new pattern gap sliders are a really cool thing, but they are also extremely limited.
Steps to reproduce:
- open Inkscape
- draw a rectangle
- add the bamboo pattern
- space the bamboo stalks with the gap slider in the pattern editor
What happened?
- disappointment...
- slider is hard to use, as it is very narrow and jumps to high numbers too quickly
- there's no way to just enter the distance you want
- there's no way to choose a gap that is smaller than 20%
What should have happened?
There should be a number field to enter the gap size. The slider is currently very limiting to creative freedom.
