[Kde-extra-gear] several kgraphviewer questions

[Kleag]

Hello, 

Yes, it is a good place to ask. I'll for now answer very quickly because I'm 
in my way to leave for 2 weeks. I'll have very few internet access there. 

First of all, thanks a lot for your very positive feedback. See below for the 
details.

It is already binded to Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- and to Shift+Mouse wheel. There is 
no way to change the mouse binding currently. keyboard bindings should be 
changeable through "Settings->Configure keyboard shortcuts". They aren't. 
This is a bug to be opened at bugs.kde.org. You can open it or I'll do when I 
come back.

Exact. It tries to contact the precedent occurrence to test if we want to use 
it. If it is blocked by dot, it stalls. This will be solved in the next 
version by running dot in another thread.

This is a good feature idea. I'll add it to my TODO list for the next version.

Not configurable currently. Added to the TODO.

Not currently. Added to the TODO.

Thanks a lot :-)

Note that if you wish, you can open some wish-level bugs at bugs.kde.org for 
the wishes I plan to take into account. This way, you will be informed when I 
close them.

Best regards,
