[Qgis-developer] [WIP] slider to zoom canvas like a magnifier

Yes, we thought about it. However, after discussion, we conclude that it
would be
easier for the user to work on the zoomed canvas (like moving a label)
if he has a global point
of view,instead of having a local zoom.

What do you think?

Regards,
Paul
