CONTENT SCROLLING

Hello,

Is there a way to make content scrolling with mouse smooth just as when dragging the slider on OS X? This is highly annoying as one completely loses the orientation with this jumpy "row scrolling".

Thank you for your answers and best wishes.

Something to look for/try: when scrolling in Bridge, the process seems to follow the indents in a mouse wheel pattern. Those are the tiny little bumps you feel when rotating a mouse. If you grab the scrolling handle on the side and maneuver with that, there is no jumpy-ness.

I have no clue as to why this issue is so pronounced in Bridge and not in LR but it is.

I have just gotten in the habit of scrolling via the handle as opposed to using the mouse wheel. Is this a solution? Absolutely not, but it is a viable step around the problem.

YMMV

Sadly.

I am on a Mac with a magic mouse that has a trackpad like surface.
I tried using the scrollbars and it works relatively smooth.

Is there a wired mouse or mouse available for the MAC os that has a scroll wheel?

Thanks.

My computer is old, however, it does not feel as a jitter. Besides that - I don't observe this in Lightroom for instance. Somehow feels like an unfortunate interface design.

I feel your pain. But has nothing to do with the interface design. It is the way it was designed from the get go 15 years ago.

Problem is people want more features, image files are getting bigger, video driver updates especially for laptops are good for one year and then the manufacturer moves on.

Bridge uses the OS to index, and cache to store thumbnails.

Lightroom imports images and stores thumbnail previews for files.

Maybe LR is your better alternative.

Just trying to offer solutions.
