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.
Hi Tom, thanks for the reply, I verified and you are right about the present behavior. I guess I disagree on the last point; i think horizontal scrolling through the directory hierarchy is more often used than the scrolling for long file names (at least in my experience). so i would opt for the jumpy behavior, or if that's undesired, for having the mouse x scroll wheel scroll only the panels and never the file names (for these, one would have to use the scroll bar). but that's just me.. nild
