[tuhopuu-devel] Camera fly-mode

[Frédéric van der Essen]

I personally always found the camera positionning methods unintuitive 
and non practical.
Your solution is a great idea.
but the problem is the lack of precision of this method. While it is 
intuitive,
it is difficult to make little precise changes.

With the introduction of widgets we could also put one in the 3DView in 
camera mode if the camera is
selected, so you could use the  widget without switching views all the time.

But IMHO if you implement your idea, it will surely be a great 
improvement :)
