Area selector needs adjusment handles

[Frank]

Area selector needs adjustment handles, because it's very hard to select a precise area without help.

Which version of Kazam are you talking about?

[Olav Andreas Lindekleiv (lindekleiv)]

I agree with this one. What I think Frank means is something like this, found in Gimp: http://docs.gimp.org/en/images/toolbox/rectangle-selection.png

Basically, when you move your mouse towards the corners / edges of the selection, you'll be able to click and drag, to resize in that direction.

I'm working on this in my branch resize_area here: https://code.launchpad.net/~lindekleiv/kazam/resize_area

See the screenshot or clone my branch to try it.

That is it! Perfect!

[Olav Andreas Lindekleiv (lindekleiv)]

This is pretty much done now. See attached screenshot for some better looking handles. I've also pushed these new changes to my branch, so it should be ready for merging.

You are extraordinary, thanks for your time spent on this! Waiting for merging :)

This is now merged to stable and will land in 1.4.2.

Thanks Olav!
