Description johnix 2005-07-14 19:43:50 UTC 
When editing forms for Base, Users get to create numerical fields and set their  
properties. Fields can be set to use spin buttons to easily increment/decrement  
their values.   
  
The increment step can be set in the 'incr./decrement value' parameter from the  
button's general properties.  It is currently limited to integer values.  
However, users may need to use non-integer increments.

clu->johnix: can you give an example, why it would be senseful to use a non
integer step value?
Comment 3 johnix 2005-09-07 19:23:46 UTC 
I'm surprised that you should ask. 
 
I'm developping a time-tracker for my workplace. Time is tracked with a 
granularity of half an hour. I'd like to be able to use spin buttons to adjust 
the time. It's faster to increment it with a click than to add ".5" at the end 
of a cell. 
 
The the time spent on each job is billed according to an hourly rate specific 
for each person. It's faster to adjust it using the mouse wheel, but 1 euro is 
too coarse a granularity. 
 
I'm estimating future activity. The estimates are in KEuros, with 1 digit after 
the coma. Examples are many. This functionality is not something I can't do 
without --the same goes for spin buttons altogether. But since they're there, 
we might as well make them as useful as possible.

Hi,

I also find that this would be a good thing.

Confirm and send to the right developer.

Bye Marc
