Stone Design Forums

If you use Create 14 and Leopard one of the new features available is Photo Browser.

This is not the lame Photo Browser you get with Apple Mail in Leopard or the Media Browser you get in Pages, this is the Stone full strength, really useful, professional workflow version.

You can add any image file, any folder of image files, any or multiple iPhoto libraries. You can drag in images, collections of images or selections from an open iPhoto library. Or remove any image.

I use it to group my chosen images for a project saving time and increasing productivity. I think of it as an image organiser.

This is a nice feature, but I found that the scrolling speed when using the scroll whell is way too slow.

I hope this gets fixed soon, that alone annoys me too much to use it...

Very fast scrolling for me with Intel Mac and Mighty Mouse.
Go to system Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse and see if you have a preference to speed up the scrolling of your mouse.

I do for the Mighty Mouse.

I'm on intel Mac Mini with a Logitec mouse. Scrolling in any other browser is nice, but the speed in Photo Browser is not set to the same pixel per scrollwheel-distance-ratio or whatever you call it.

The scrolling is smooth that's not the issue it's just that on a browser or in the Finder I can scroll past several screens with little movement and in the photo browser I have to turn the scroolwheel like crazy.

I think you are raising a very interesting point here especially with the many different scrolling devices available. Wacom realised many years ago that people would require different settings for each application they used when working with their Tablets. Now the scroll characteristics of individual windows within one app may need to be different and customisable for individuals needs. We are Mac users and expect this, Global settings are no longer good enough. When scrolling a Photo Browser I think it would be better to scroll one row of thumbnails per click. Here the amount scrolled would have to be linked to thumbnail size. Others could counter and say they wanted one click to equate to one page of thumbnails within the Photo Browser and the amount scrolled would equate to the size the user had set the Photo Browser window too. Others may say with their arthritic fingers it is better for them to click on the slider and drag it.

What would be good is if Apple built this functionality directly into Cocoa.

For the time being we will have to rely on Andrews good nature to look at the possibilities and maybe allow a little user modification for the Photo Browser.

As yet I have not found anything that lets me much increase the speed of my scroll wheel by holding a modifier key. If anybody else has please post.

nice feature, it works well for me :
