Hey Paul, I was wondering if you would consider adding a setting in Preferences, that would allow user to be able to hide the (somewhat recently moved) Zoom controls (in the bottom right corner of Editor page).
This has been around for a little while now and I still cannot seem to get used to seeing them in the current location. I am so used to bottom of Ardour Editor being clean/no controls/tools at the bottom, so this still seems very out of place/distracting to me.
I understand that the purpose of this move was to reduce items in the Editor toolbar, however, this split up the zoom controls into two locations. Also it may have helped clean up one location, but then just moves the extra controls to a different location.
I also understand the decision of putting these controls with scrollbars.
Some applications do put Zoom controls in bottom right corner, but typically it is when there is a use of more of a traditional set of horizontal/vertical scroll bars, so controls like this kind of fit in.
Ardour on the other hand offers scrollbars that I feel, are more functional, but the Zoom controls in this case do not really fit in.
The set of bottom right Zoom controls (at least to me) are also functions that are already mainly covered by mouse actions / hotkeys, so I personally have no use for them to even be seen at all.
This also is a little bit of a concern as Ardour interface continues to be updated.
Typically you guys would usually add settings for users to still keep layout/Appearance as close as possible to original expected layout.
Again, I was just wondering if something like this would be considered to be made available.
Thank you to you and anyone else who reads this post
