Lack of 100% stop on volume slider about pavucontrol-qt HOT 11 CLOSED

Confirmed.
This would indeed be nice to have.

Please, have a look on the #30. I'm not sure about the snapping to the 100% value. If we set the snap threshold to e.g. 2% points, then user won't be able to set 98%, 99% and 101%, 102% by mouse. Is that something that we want?

from pavucontrol-qt.

In GTK version snap is directional: slider goes:
... 98, 99, 100 (snap), 103 (unsnap).
Or
... 103, 102, 101, 100 (snap), 97 (unsnap).

OK. Implemented in #30

I think the snapping can be crossed pretty easily and it wouldn't hurt to miss certain values like 98...102% in favour of a more concise snapping.
Both may of course be a matter of taste.

There is no labelling like the "100% (0dB)" in the GTK version but a tiny vertical line only.
Wouldn't it be good to add this?

Qt (the QSlider) doesn't support such feature and IMHO it's not worth implementing it for our purpose.

Precise numerical data is better than no data. But if there are technical issues, then it could go low priority.

#30 is merged and IMO it is enough. Are we going to close this or leave it open until someone will implement the "ticks labeling" ?

IMO it's not a crucial feature yet good to have. So I'd say leave the issue open if it can basically be implemented without too much effort or other downsides, close otherwise.

That was my point... I think it will take too much time (at least me with my current knowledge) to implement such tiny feature.

As @palinek implied 3 years ago, adding texts to slider tick marks requires a new kind of slider. It isn't worth implementing because it needs a great amount of extra code for such a tiny change.

KDE (and later, Krita) developers created and interesting widget called KisSliderSpinBox for the same reason (and more) by combining a part of a sinbox with a progress-bar. Of course, it has no use here.
