Tab switching with the mouse wheel is reversed?

Hi,

When I have many images as tabs in XnView, I often like to switch between them with the middle mouse button. The problem is that the direction of switching tabs is reverse of what is normally expected. What I mean by that? If I scroll forward, XnView shows me the image that's on the left of the current tab, and if I scroll backwards, it shows me the image that is to the right of the current tab. I skimmed quickly through the Settings menu, but couldn't find an option that controls the direction (maybe I've missed it?). So can the direction be reversed? Or is this a bug?

Tab scrolling has default behavior (ms apps, chrome, etc), which is:
scroll ↑ - prev tab
scroll ↓ - next tab

However, you are welcome to post suggestion to add "Invert tab scroll direction" checkbox into Settings.

ps. Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab shortcuts are also available
