Why not both?
A 0.1 incremental system when sliding the blueline and a scale of 1/3 EV steps just above the blue line so you can click in one go to 11/3ev or 1,33ev. And fine tune from there in 0.01 steps?

And thatâs exactly what I donât like on this. The slider is much more directly, I can see what happens immediately and can search for the limits before clipping without entering every time a new figure. Stops are totally not important.

I like that a software can adapt to as many users as possible without bothering anyone. Customised UI/UX is always a plus, when there is a serious need.
Sorry, I am a little late to respond to the OP request. The request is OK, but I donât see a need for it. We can already adjust exposure by left clicking on the line, right clicking on the line, or by moving the wheel. So I think it is fine the way it is.
But I do want to thank the OP for bringing this up because I did not know you could right click on the line and move the exposure in .1 increments. Iâve watched numerous tutorials, looked at help documentation, etc, and this capability was never pointed out. Maybe a basic tutorial is needed about navigation and shortcuts that can be used in PhotoLab, especially for new users.

Was anyone else bothered by the PLv4 change whereby there are no longer any scale markers at all on sliders ?
Itâs not a big deal for those who simply move a slider left/right | up/down until it âlooks rightâ, but - - it does make it more difficult for those cases where you know (from experience) that a specific setting value will be right for a certain correction affect ⌠Now, one has to guess at where that point is on the slider.
PLv3 âŚ
- with slider scale markers
PLv4 ⌠
- no scale markers

BTW, if in the future PL offers a way to also adjust the exposure compensation based on stop values, it will do it by 1/3 increments I guess, to match the same increments you have on most cameras. Also, the old sliders in PL3 had markers with 4/5 increments (0.8 EV) which is oddâŚ
On troublesome imageâs i use FRV to find the clippingpoint in the rawfile.
The point where overexposure % starts to build. So i know maximum level of exposure change i can use. And then i do the same for âblacklevelâ raising shadow to see details recovery posibility, (underexposure % to 0) and such.
I use the shadow and highlight button and EV to discover playroom because RFV has a raw histogram and and not a srgb or adobe rgb histogram.
And i use that ev value to start in DxO.
It would be even more a pleasure if DxO can read the made EV ofset in the xmpfile.
Then itâs automatic set in the exposure i tested in FRV.
Until that happens please make a grid above the line in 1/3 2/3 1 1/3 2/3 2.
Itâs sound maybe crazy but FRV is a great addition, plugin for DxOPL. It has everything you need to complete DxOPL 's investigation toolset. Donât bother to make your own just create a osa. A interface to use itâs full capacity,

FRV - what is it ?
Fast Raw ViewerâŚ
Ah, OK, thanks 
Dear @OXiDant,
I also use FRV but only for the first selection and to delete wrong ones.
You spoke about a " great addition, plugin for DxOPL"âŚitâs really a Plugin like for example NIK?
Greetings
Hello Guenterm,
No itâs not a plugin at this moment.
But itâs fitting nicely in front of the library function.
If DxO writes a program, interface, which can read all data which FRV is storing in the xmp-file it creates when you change things you could pickup the ev-change and apply this in the customize enviroment of DxO.
I believe LR can read the WB and EV changes of FRV, because the creator of FRV has written to do so.
Thatâs why i wrote it could be a great plugin for DxO.
