[SOLVED] 'Zoom Springiness' (animation plugin) has no effect

[Forlong]

CCSM ? Animations ? Animations ? Zoom ? Zoom Springiness

Can anybody confirm that changing this option has no effect whatsoever on latest git?
Then I'm filing a bugreport.

I wanted to set it to '0' but I was surprised to see it's set that way by default...

Fixed now in git. Thanks for noticing that :)

Regarding that, can you make zoom to taskbar springy and some of the other compstransform effects springy too? Thanks :)

Thanks for the effort but it still doesn't work (at least not on my machine). :|

I know that it used to work but now it just bumps slightly when I close a window and there's no way to get rid of that http://img379.imageshack.us/img379/6499/ahhh1gv.gif :D

I'm not sure what you mean by bumping slightly. It should be very similar to the animation performed by the Minimize plugin with default settings. What is your animation duration? Did you try setting it longer?

And springy movement isn't done on close and minimize events, since the window fades away and the springy part wouldn't be visible because of that, just consuming cpu/gpu and making the reverse animation problematic when interrupted with the opposite event, since springy movement has to take longer time to complete.

BTW, do you have the latest git version or are you using packages (which may not be up2date)?

Yeah I could add an option I suppose. Maybe a single one for all effects.

Hm... now I'm confused. Let me try to elaborate:
I'm using Zoom for the closing animation at an animation duration of 0.7500.[/*:m:d9241]
When I close a window, it moves a little to the top right, when fading away. That tends to annoy me.[/*:m:d9241]
I want the window to fade away into the x of the titlebar.[/*:m:d9241]
That used to work up until some days ago - and I remember that I set Zoom Springiness to 0 the first time I used Compiz Fusion to achieve this.[/*:m:d9241]
I may be wrong on this one but I really don't know what else option I could've changed back then.[/*:m:d9241]

Latest git (like I said). :)

Maybe we can add an option to control the fading rate? ^_^ (If thats possible?)

That sounds like a bug (that I'm not experiencing). I'll look into it when I can. Meanwhile, can you try if you have the same problem with default settings (by renaming your ~/.compizconfig folder, and restarting compiz)?

I must have missed that in your first post :)

Control how exactly? Is there something wrong with it? The fading starts and ends with the animation. However it's not linear (as a function of time) for some effects (where it doesn't look good when it's linear).

And remember, we don't want 1000 animation options. We should keep this as simple and sensible as possible. I'd prefer having options that make perfect sense to have them (for most people), and minimize the number of them whenever possible.

Yeah I've tried that several times. And again just now after compiling from git.
I deleted .compizconfig and the only things I changed from Default.ini was disabling minimize and fade and enabling animations of course.
This is what it looks like:
[code:a7e38]
[minimize]
as_____plugin_enabled = false

[fade]
as_____plugin_enabled = false

[animation]
as_____plugin_enabled = true[/code:a7e38]
Still the window moves a little to the top right while fading (shrinking, or whatever you'll call it).
I wouldn't say it's a bug, I guess it has just been configured differently lately.

I've noticed that close and create animations dont play nice on qt windows!

Ok, I see what you mean now. What you're talking about is not an issue related to springiness. I was looking for such a bug. It's just the behavior that's different.

I changed the behavior when springiness is 0 to how it was before.

You should be more descriptive. An issue preventing the animation of qt transient windows was fixed yesterday, if that's what you are talking about. Have you tried the latest git?

When I try to open or close a qt window, I notice that the animation is jerky and not smooth.

Ok. But again, you should be more descriptive. Which animation effect are you using? Have you tried other animation effects? Are you talking about primary windows or others (dropdown menus, popup menus, tooltips, etc.)? What is your animation duration? What are you comparing with? How is it on gnome applications, say, gnome-terminal? Which linux version are you using? Are you using compiz fusion from latest git or packages from someone, if so which version? ...

I am having this behavior with all animation effects on close and create for normal qt windows only ( for gnome applications the animation is so smooth), the duration is the default (I tried to change the values but that didnt help), I have Debian sid and I use compiz fusion packages from here: http://shame.tuxfamily.org/repo/ its updated daily.

Thank you very very much! You're my hero ? :D

(Sorry for the late reply, didn't have the time to compile lately)
