           Summary: UI/usability: make it possible to edit scalars from the
                    "View scalars" dialog
           Product: kst
           Version: 1.3.0

Version:           1.3.0 (using KDE 3.4.0, compiled sources)

OS:                SunOS (sun4u) release 5.8

Someone asked me recently whether scalars could be edited. I thought they could, but we didn't find the way to do it. I was just about to create a new wishlist when I had a doubt: looking up previous bugs, I found bug #95031 which implemented this, though hidden away in the UI. 
After some fiddling around, I finally noticed the "Change selected scalar" button in the equation dialog, which allows changing scalar values for user-defined scalars. I think it would be very nice to add the same edition capabilities to the "View scalar values" dialog, where we consistently looked for it.
Another option/complement would be to add user-defined scalars to the data manager, with a RMB action to edit them.
