P: mouse scroll wheel does not work on sliders

Running LR 5.2 on OSX Mavericks. Can I use my mouse scroll wheel to make fine adjustments on the sliders? I came from Windows 7, and I'm very used to having this ability! Please enable it soon!

Hi iPunk,

Since we've never offered this feature on Mac before, this would be a new feature request. We love hearing your feature requests (it's one of the reasons we have this forum)! But I'm afraid that your request is going to be lost, as it currently appears at the bottom of a thread about a Windows bug which has been fixed. I suggest that you start a new thread, in the category "Idea" (rather than "Problem"). That way, other people will be able to vote in support of your idea. Obviously the more votes, the higher it gets bumped up the priority list!

Thanks,
Ben

I want to use the Mousewheel on Mac.
I'm not gonna buy an extra Device like the Contour Shuttle just to invoke this "feature" that should be a standard function, nor do I buy a Windows PC to get this function to work, also I'm not gonna take off my right hand from the input device just to move arrow keys up and down.

I have to work with a special ergonomical Mouse because of a repetitive strain injury, so we're talking seriously of lacking ergonomics.

I hope you understand now why i'm forcing this functionality on Mac.

iPunk, are you saying that this feature previously worked on Mac OS? Your other post suggests it did ("Want this back ASAP"), however Ben says that it never worked on Mac and I've never seen it. Or are you saying you'd like this Windows feature on the Mac OS version?

As a Mac alternative, you could try floating the mouse over the slider and using the up/down keys on your keyboard to move the slider. That works in a similar way, and I use a separate dial device (a Contour Shuttle Pro) programmed to those key strokes to move the sliders, rather than a mouse wheel.

Hi Ben,

sorry, but what shall I do with this answer?
I was asking for Mousewheel support for LR Mac OS, nothing less, nothing more.
I think that's not so hard to understand. Isn't it?

I am missing slider control via mousewheel.

I don't want to lose focus on my image and not watching at my sliders whenever adjusting parameters.

Mousewheel support is mandatory!!

Agree!
I feel harassed by the arbitrariness of Adobe - across all Professional Applications.

More customer oriented thinking please. I already abandoned Apple for exactly that reason.

Stop bugging us!

LR 5 was released June 2013 and we are still waiting!
God forbid if I ask to speed up development and feature implementations, err, excuse me, revoking features that have vanished for NO reason 😕😕

Benjamin Warde is a man of his word.
Sliders work with the scroll wheel again in 4.4 final.
Thank you for listening to my whining and snivelling.
