Question

Adobe Bridge smooth scrolling please

Please switch out the integerized scrolling in Bridge, which only lets you scroll in disjointed whole-photo jerks, for the smooth scrolling every other app allows.  It's actually hard to understand the scrolling that's happening when I scroll in Bridge because of this integerized, jerky scroling that Bridge enforces.  

 

It would be much easier on the user if the scrolling was smooth just like all other scrolling experiences (at least in MacOS and Photoshop)

    I would have thought by now they'd have used an intern or college student to fix it for them since they don't have a programmer that can do it anymore. This has taken so long, they might as well get an AI Bot to write it for them since they are to cheap to pay someone.

      They made a HUGE improvement, (nov 22). It's still jumpy, but it's tollerable. Tollerable is something people can live with. A glowing review for Adobe. 

      I get it though. you'd think we're asking them to reach for the stars, but smooth scrolling is hardly even the sky this many decades in. So we'll just have to live with the ground floor for now.

      Ahh, yea, so this is/was? a different issue. Scrolling with the Magic mouse was an arbitrary increment in both the window preview and the folder side bar.  It didn't snap to next which would have at least been ok for ppl like your self. instead it would jump about 13x the distance you would expect from smooth scrolling.

      I recall people talking about that feature and being frustrated that it was a couple pixels short of the next photo, so when you scroll it looks like your scrolling up. that would be just about as annoying to me. 😛

      Anyhow, I can see that being perhaps a useful tool for comparing one image to the next, but I generally do that one image at a time in the large preview window to a/b the images rather than the thumbnails.

       


      Thank you for taking the time to explain the OP's issue.  Not familiar with 'Magic Mouse'.. I'm probably cynical, but features labled cutesy like that rarely live up to the hype so I just avoid them.  As for my issue, I'm able to run Bridge 2022 and process my 2000 pics/event as before.  Hopefully they'll get 2023 fixed in short order.  There certainly are a lot of issues being reported.  Thanks again!

        When scrolling through large sections of folders, it feels and looks like you are scrolling the opposite direction.  When scrolling down, it moves the lower folder one space higher than the previous which creates a weird animation effect that makes it look like it's scrolling the wrong way!

          Agree absolutely, why the hack is Bridge the only one app in world that don't allow smoot scrolling? Do I miss something? I'm paing money for Photoshop and i should become this jerk?
