Very slow scroll while dragging & dropping

Post by jfdid »

Good day folks,
I'm really hoping for a solution here. I FINALLY made the jump from Windows to Linux and this is literally the only thing I need to be functional now :)

I'm trying to increase the speed of the scrolling within XnView MP. If I have a folder with 100 photos and I want to rearrange them - dragging a photo(thumbnail) from the bottom of the list to the top is so slow it's basically unusable.

Is there ANY way I can adjust this? Or is there a way I can "pick up" the photos and then scroll with the keyboard or something?

I'd be happy to pay $100 to get this fixed.

Thank you very much.

Hi Pierre, thanks for taking the time to answer me.

Yes it starts off very slow but only increases speed slightly.
Is there a setting, or an XML file or something that I can alter to speed it up? The app has every single other thing I use for my workflow (Coming from Windows - FastStone).
Thank you very much.

Also of note, the drag and drop is broken on my Wayland sessions, but works on X11. Kubuntu 24.04 via Flatpak. (I can probably work around this if the dragging speed can be fixed somehow.) I'd even be happy with the ability to use PgUp/PgDn while I'm dragging.

Thanks again.

I'll check if it's possible to speed up

+1 for scrolling speed when performing drag & drop being way too slow.
