Settings - interface - mouse - improve scrolling

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.8.6 64bit
Windows11 (24H2), display resolution 3840x2160, dpi scale 150%

Settings - interface - mouse
Browser's Filelist scrolling via mouse wheel differs depending on the area you scroll:
- over Filelist area (affected by 'View scroll the content by thumbnail' setting)
- over scrollbars (follows system settings)

☑ 'View scroll the content by thumbnail' setting:
- changes 'Lines scroll at a time' from 3 (system default) to 1 (affects all views, except List) AND
- enables 'Snap to grid'

However, there are few inconveniences:
- naming is not clear enough
- thumbnails scroll by its full size, which is not handy when thumbnail size is big enough

A - clarify
  • move scrolling setting from Browser to Mouse tab
  • rename
    • View scroll the content by thumbnail →
      Scroll by one full thumbnail OR
      Scroll over filelist [area] by one full thumbnail cell (as scrolling via scrollbar has different settings)

B - add options
  • rework scrolling setting to radio buttons
    first 2 options are equal to existing checkbox
  • (optional) add combobox to 'Scroll per item'
    to customize number of items
