XnView Software

Support to define keyboard shortcuts for "fast image scrolling" appears to be absent. I'm referring to the (hardcoded) shortcuts [Ctrl+Shft+ArrowKeys] in classic XnView. Is this planned to be added later on?

This feature of XnView Classic is still missing in XnView MP v0.84. I've just added it to the list of missing features.

Thank you Helmut.

O.k., thank you, I can also reproduce the problem. Issue 1231 is fixed in next version.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.87. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

Indeed "fast image scrolling" functionality is now available, thank you for that. Unfortunately it does not work yet as expected:

1. "fast image scrolling" does not behave like in XnView Classic, the scrolling steps are way to huge. The image abruptly scrolls to the image borders in just one step, zooming into an image deep enough increases the fast scrolling to two steps. The amount of scrolled pixels is way to high for the function to be controllable, thus currently rendering it unusable.
    
2. The shortcut key for "fast image scrolling" in v0.87 is [Ctrl+Shft+Arrowkeys]. However the expected shortcut is [Shft+Arrowkeys], like it is in XnView Classic.
    
3. The "fast image scrolling" shortcut is not documented anywhere (program interface, manual, whatsnew.txt).
    
4. "fast image scrolling" is not available in the shortcut configuration menu, and thus cannot be changed to individual preferences.
    
5. The amount of pixels/percent of image to be fast scrolled cannot be configured. This should be added, similar to the zoom function.

EDIT: I withdraw request No. 2 because I confused the correct shortcut layout (as discussed in my next post below).

It's the same as XnView Classic, the scroll is by page

You have asked for [Ctrl+Shft+Arrowkeys] so i change it?

Dear Pierre, because of your reply I just rechecked with XnView Classic v2.41:

• In View mode the fast scrolling step indeed is per page.
• In Fullscreen mode the fast scrolling step behaves differently, it is much finer and controllable.

I wasn't aware that the XnView Classic shorcut [Ctrl-Shft-Arrowkeys] for fast scrolling behaves differently in View mode and Fullscreen mode. I'm definitely looking for the finer and controllable fast scrolling used in XnView Classic's Fullscreen mode.

I also rechecked this with XnView Classic v2.41:

• [Shift-Arrow-Up/Down] does work to fast scroll up/down.
• [Shft+Arrow-Left/Right] does NOT work to fast scroll left/right, because that is already the shortcut to rotate an image 90 degrees left/right.

Conclusion: The correct shortcut for fast scrolling indeed must be [Ctrl+Shft+Arrowkeys] as per my initial request. Please excuse the confusion, it was not intended.

ok, i'll fix that

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.88. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

I confirm that this problem is fixed in XnView MP 0.88. Thank you.
