Am I missing it or does it need to be added in a future build ?

thanks in advance

I actually don't mind the speed, but my wife told me one day after playing with it that she found it way to fast and asked me to slow it down... so yea, an option for that would be great!

Hehe the idea behind scroller is the same as menu - nomatter how many thumbs you have when mouse at the left of your screen you see thumbnail#1 and when mouse is at the right you see last thumbnail. So its not actually speed - its just autoscroll.

Yea, I think my wifes issue wasnt moving from one side to the other, it was how fast it reset back when she moved the mouse off the thumbnail slider accidentally.

I could probably add some further "motiondelay", but it's like pain says - Its not really speed - the thumbnailscroller positions itself depending on the horizontal location of the mouse. If the mouse is at far left, your images #1,#2 etc. will display .... If you move your mouse suddenly to far right, it will move to display the last thumbnails in your list.

I think this is heavily related to how many thumbnails you have in your folder. Try a folder with many images vs. a folder with less images, and it will obviously be easier to navigate the one with less images.

I can't do that much with this, but I can add a "delay" constant which sets the delay of how long time it takes for the thumbnailscroller to position itself according to the mouse. I think it's difficult to find a setting that suits all folders and everyone though.

Usually it starts going like crazy first moving quite a way further first.

hmm, that would in fact be related to the fact that the thumbnailscroller re-positions itself so that the thumbnail for the current image being displayed is located in the middle of the screen. I will look into this - There may be remedies but maybe no cure.
