GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 331645
Scroll wheel should work in collection view
Last modified: 2008-07-23 04:19:36 UTC
Using the scroll wheel on the collection view should change the current displayed image (a bit like what it does on the workspace switcher).
Done, thanks Vicent! 2006-03-02 Lucas Rocha <lucasr@gnome.org> * libeog/eog-wrap-list.c (handle_canvas_scroll, eog_wrap_list_construct): mouse scroll wheel make image switching on collection pane (Fixes bug #331645).
No, it should not. It makes scrolling the collection view for larger directories a pain. This behaviour is really non-standard. Using the scroll wheel in a widget that also has scrollbars should have EXACTLY the same effect as pushing the scrollbar buttons. This is a grave usability bug. See #340955 for more information (not marking duplicate since it contains a patch for another issue too).

jfyi: 23:59:51 <vuntz> I didn't think about the scrollbars 00:00:34 <vuntz> I filed the bug because I tried to use the wheel when viewing some images 00:02:50 <vuntz> you're right about the scrollbars 00:03:26 <vuntz> but I find it really useful to be able to switch images using the wheel 00:03:34 <vuntz> conflict :-) 00:03:35 <uws> you should hit spacebar 00:04:07 <uws> and shift-spacebar to go backwards
This bug looks like a usability disaster to me. Increasing severity.
Applied in HEAD, thanks! 2006-09-06 Lucas Rocha <lucasr@gnome.org> * libeog/eog-wrap-list.c (handle_canvas_scroll, eog_wrap_list_construct): use mouse wheel to scroll, not to switch images (Fixes bug #331645). Patch from Wouter Bolsterlee <wbolster@gnome.org>.
This function has become a usability disaster of a different sort now. Scrolling with the mouse wheel zooms in/out while ctrl-wheel scrolls up and down. This is the exact opposite of standard behavior.
