Mouse Down Blow Up disables normal usage of mouse in 19.00.0200

Post by Skyleaf »

I noticed some issues with left clicking on images in thumbnail mode in the previous version, but since I updated to 19.00.0200 Mouse Down Blow Up made it to where I couldn't click on thumbnails to select with left mouse button. It would act like I was trying to get the blow up thumb instead, despite clicking instead of holding down. The same occurs when setting it to use the right mouse button instead. You can't right-click right on the thumbnail and get the context menu if enabled.

To retain any sort of functionality I had to disable blow up for left click and enable it for right click. I can still get a context menu if I right click on the filename, which is fine temporarily, but I would really prefer to have the old functionality back. Thank you for your time.

I haven't tested the new version behavior myself yet, but you should be able to set the tweak that was mentioned in the changelog to return to the old behavior:

Code: Select all

v19.00.0119 - 2018-06-26 10:45
    * Mouse Down Blow Up and Thumbnails: From now on you cannot left- or
      right-drag a file by the thumbnail anymore when Mouse Down Blow Up is
      enabled. Advantage: The blow-up is click-instant now. No need anymore to
      hold down the mouse for 150 msecs.
      FYI, to drag the file in thumbnails view you can drag it by the caption.
      If you still want the previous behavior you can use this new tweak:
        MDBUAllowDragByThumb=1
for instructions on how to tweak:

Here is the backstory on the change if you are interested:

Oh, I didn't realize that was an intentional change. Apparently I need to check the change logs more often when something weird happens ^^; Thanks, that did indeed change things back. The backstory was interesting as well... and now I have to decide which behavior I prefer more. What I'm used to versus the new way that is indeed faster :/

Thanks for the information and help!
