Montage view zoom slider, ergonomy #163

The zoom slider in montage view could better serve its purpose if it was located at the bottom. This way both left and right handed people could see the zoom result without obscuring the screen with their palms.
Also, inversing the slider scale would be more intuitive: slide right equals larger image, slide left equals smaller image.

@LinforPros:
a) At the bottom - are you sure that would be better? the problem with keeping at the bottom is that if you have more than a screenful of monitors then you will always have to scroll to access it. Keeping it persistently at the bottom would imply taking up real-estate all the time

b) With respect to right == larger image --> that is how it was before. Somewhere along the line, I switched it around because I was getting the inverse math wrong - simple I know. I'll get to fixing this part soon. I'm not sure about a) though

RE a). A left handed person or a right handed user has to cover the screen with his/her palm to move the slider in order to zoom in/out. That is what move me to submit the issue. One could see the zoom result and set it accordingly if the slider was out of the way.

closing this as the slider direction is fixed. Don't think I want to fix a) just yet
