The suggestion takes even more space than the current one as it needs two
more more rows.

<br>
Boudewijn indicated me on irc that the Gimp folks have an outgoing \
discussion<br> on their developers list on the subject of sliders, and \
Peter gave them the<br> same subjection as to us, see [1].<br>
<br>
The interesting part is that he apparently made us an other suggestion, \
that I<br> personnaly was not aware, I think I was out of the discussions \
on the slider,<br> so that might explain it. But Peter&#39;s suggestion was \
to have a popup with<br> different sliders with different scale:<br>

Both solutions have the same effect for user, but I think Peter&#39;s \
suggestion<br> is visually nicer and would solve Lukas&#39;s objection that \
the combobox takes<br> space. However, the current solution is good enough \
for me, meaning I am<br> unlikely to take the time to implement it... but \
we could have it as &quot;new&quot;<br> developer task (I would be willing \
to mentor it, but not to teach Qt widget<br> development ;) so for \
experience developer only).<br></blockquote></div><br>The suggestion takes \
