Hi Nils, I'm guessing you are using the Mac mouse with the tiny ball-bearing size scroll ball. I just tested that with Aqua Chimera 1.3 and the Aqua daily build and both horizontal and vertical scrolling with the ball worked as expected. I could scroll both vertically and horizontally within the Open dialog pane the mouse was over. By horizontal I mean if the file names are too long to fit in the pane then a horizontal scroll bar appears at the bottom of that pane and that is what moves horizontally. To move the panes left and right I had to put the mouse over the horizontal scrollbar that sits under all the panes. All this seems about as good as possible except for the case when there is no horizontal scrollbar for an individual pane (long file names). In that case horizontal scrolling could scroll all the panes left or right. It would be quirky because as the panes move and your mouse doesn't move the mouse might go over a new pane which has it's own horizontal scrollbar and the scrolling behavior would abruptly change to just scrolling that pane. Annoying. My observations seem to differ from yours. I'm using Mac OS 10.5.7. Horizontal scrolling does not work in the Mac X11 Chimera. We plan on discontinuing the Mac X11 Chimera in favor of Mac Aqua Chimera at some point in the future. Tom Nils Becker wrote:
hi,
just a quick user interface suggestion: it would be great if mouse-over over all directory listings (when choosing files to load etc) could activate the mouse wheel for both x and y scrolling.
right now, only placing the cursor directly over the scroll bars allows scrolling by mouse wheel, and there is only one mouse wheel axis to scroll with.
i am on mac is x 10.5.6 and using a recent native snapshot
cheers, nils _______________________________________________ Chimera-users mailing list Chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/mailman/listinfo/chimera-users
