Scrolling in Browser View

Post by ehathgepiurhe »

Hi everyone,

I may just be missing a setting somewhere, but when you have XnView browser open and there is a scrollbar, it doesn't seem that the XnView window will actually scroll when you click on an image and drag it to the top of the screen. That's probably not a good description, so let's say that you are in a folder in the XnView browser. The folder has 6 sub-folders at the top, and about 50-60 images in it. You want to drag one of the images into one of the folders. So, you scroll right to the bottom of the browser window, click on the image and then drag it up to the top of the screen. I would expect in this case that the XnView window would start to scroll upwards, towards the folders. I don't mean scrolling the file tree pane down the side, I mean scrolling the pane that XnView shows the image thumbnails in. Anyway, it doesn't - so is there an option to make it do so, or doesn't XnView support this reasonably standard behaviour?

Thanks.

Yes, it would be appreciated. I have a lot of folders that have a lot of images in them, with the consequence that the sub-folders are scrolled off the screen, and at least once per day I get caught out with trying to drag an image up to the folders in the thumbnails pane because I am so used to this behaviour in other programs (when XnView doesn't start to scroll, I then have to hit Esc to cancel the drag and then manually expand the folders in the file tree pane and use those folders to drag the image into). I try and not use the folder tree in XnView - it is horribly slow to open (you click the + sign to expand a folder and then the program locks up until the sub-folders display), so I would like very much to see the thumbnails pane behave like this.
