Can't install camview in buster

I think if you use the 2.8.4 camview_widget.py but use the updated 2.9 cam_align handler, you will at least be able to set the rotation increment from the INI.

Really cool your recent enhancements to the cam_align widget!

But there are so many mouse -click and scroll combinations that it is hard to use them efficient without having the documentation beside.
Maybe this could be simplified if you add a toggle button (more like a sliding switch) to switch between "setting the angle" and "setting the diameter". Then one can use the same controls for both.
And a slider (like in camview) for both could be added.

I agree sort off:
It is a new approach to hold right button and scroll to rotate. But once you get the hang of it, it just works.
Where I agree with you: Great work of cmorley, indeed! And, adding some comprehensive buttons would be nice. I am on the verge to deploy my small router with a touch screen, with screen mirrored to a 10" touch tablet. There buttons on the tab would be very helpful.

Yes it goes quick to get the hang of it, when you have read the docs. If not, you you are a bit surprised what it does when trying the mouse combinations (if you know that there are some).
So this is not really intuitive. Or maybe a help button with a question mark could be added or so.

My opinion:
- don't reset on double-click (if you want to increment fast, you reset it accidentally), do that with a button
- I wonder if you need to adjust the circle diameter and the rotation of the cross hair at the same time. I think you want either focus on an edge or a hole. So maybe switch with (radio-)buttons whether you want to change the rotation, circle diameter or zoom and then change the selected value either with mouse wheel or left/right click
- changing the increment with middle click is ok I think
- hold left + mouse wheel is not really comfortably to use (I use to scroll with the index finger)

And yes I agree, some button for touch screens would be helpful.

Off topic: You can't know it because it's a converted Cyclone 13 (not well known in Europe). I added the gennaker boom, trapeze and so on.

I did commit changes to 2.9 to allow setting the rotation increment with the INI with -o rotincr=.2

chris, tried as per the above quoted posts: Increment is stuck at 0.5°

Are you on 2.9?

Off topic: nice boat and nice hard trimming at such light wind. That boat should plane fast with a gennaker. Have fun! I used to sail a fireball one handed in my youth years. I added a 20 m2 spinnaker to sail it at about 8 knots. Stopped sailing in favour of windsurfing, when I was surpassed the first time by a windsurfer somehere in the early 80ies.
