Different mousewheel scroll lines delta for each View (Details, List, Thumbs)
Posted: 27 Dec 2017 22:50
Hello, does XYPlorer have any option or tweak where the user can choose how many lines are scrolled on one mouse wheel move?
It would be nice XYPlorer would scroll (for example):
3-5 lines in Details View
but only 1 line in Thumbnails view (like in ACDSee or other photo viewers).
I checked, when I change "the number of lines to scroll" option in my mouse driver configuration utility,
the number of lines, scrolled by XYPlorer and Windows Explorer, also changes.
I've checked further with SysInternals FileMon, and the only thing my mouse utility does,
it changes the Windows registry option: "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WheelScrollLines" to 1, 3, or 6 (as i choose).
Unfortunately XYplorer reads this value once, so the restart of XYplorer is needed every time,
when I need switch to Thumbnails View and scroll them more precisely, like in ACDSee.
With "WheelScrollLines = 3", with large Thumbnails and with "Find Files" panel opened
XYPlorer can skip through one line of thumbs, not showing the files. It's not very comfortable.
On other hand having "WheelScrollLines = 1" in Windows is not comfortable either
(in the XYPlorer's Details Mode and in all other applications).
It would be nice if XYplorer would allow users to setup mouse wheel behavior separately for each mode (Details View, Thumbs View...).
The values can be: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 lines and "windows default" (from HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WheelScrollLines).
In "General > Mouse, Menus, Safety" or in the form of tweak in the configuration file.
Or at least one simple Tweak: "Scroll one line in Thumbnails View on mouse wheel".
(or "Single line mouse wheel scroll in Thumbnails View")
For example Firefox Browser has numerous mouse wheel settings (even for different modifier keys: Alt< Ctrl, Shift, Win)

XYplorer doesn't need such detailed preferences as in Firefox, but using the same default Windows scroll settings
for two completely different views (Details and Thumbnails) isn't comfortable either.
