Make that 6 ... at least.

Thanks Robertina. But like

Thanks Robertina. But like ppfr, I don't like this solution and I just can't understand the silence of the FR team on this subject where almost ALL rss readers out there don't request a mouse app to behave properly. Btw I found another rss reader capable of that incredible mouse move -could almost be a feature when I see FR or Rssbandit-, BlogBridge with an FR UI like and sync. Still trying to get another rss reader when FR with a little more polishing could be the best easily. A better communication (FR Connect has a proper mouse behavior? I'm sold!) from the team could be so useful for the product too. What is wrong with you people? Damn.

katmouse solves the issue partially

ppfr — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 05:18:38 +0300

Thanks for the tip, katmouse helps. However, a few remarks:
.
- with the mouse over the article pane, spinning the wheel will scroll the article to the bottom (this is what is missing from FR), but then the article *list* will start to scroll horizontally. This behaviour is kind of odd.
.
- I still think that the mouse scroll issue should be fixed by FR and that the user should not require to add any piece of software.
.
- besides, katmouse will impact all other running applications, it is not possible to limit its usage to FR.

uncomfortable mouse-handling in Feedreader

Robertina — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 10:07:04 +0300

To solve the problem with uncomfortable mouse-handling in Feedreader you could try the freeware KatMouse.

This very small tool scrolls the window beneath the mouse cursor even when it is not focussed.

In the properties-dialog choose "Applications" and add the "feedreader.exe"

If you want to keep the usual behavior of your wheel button go to the "Wheel Button"-tab and choose "None of the buttons."

Works very well on my system.

You can find KatMouse on http://ehiti.de/katmouse/

Please excuse my bad english.

Greetings

Hello FR team,

This feature is a must-have, have you planned to implement it and when please?

Hello, Can this feature be

Harold — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 23:18:35 +0200

Hello,

Can this feature be implemented in the 3.13 release please?

ppfr, make that 5

ppfr, make that 5 persons...fully agree on the mouse scrolling

Agree, mouse scrolling support must be improved

ppfr — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 01:44:15 +0200

I absolutely agree with you. FR is great from the data base management perspective, but ergonomics are 1 step behind. RSS Bandit also gets the mouse scroll thing right.
I also posted the same request under the thread "Mouse wheel to scroll the pane below the mouse pointer, not active pane", and it seems that we are at least 4 persons to complain about this.
-
More generally, I am worried about FR's team lack of reply in the forum. I have posted like a full page of feature requests and bug reports, and the response rate I got was close to 5% (95% of my posts unanswered). The only positive answer I got was "we will consider in the next version of FR". But it seems that the next version will include loads of new stuff, and it does not look like existing features that need to be fixed / improved will get a lot of attention.
-
For example, this feature request was initiated in November 2006, and it remains to be implemented, even to be answered to. It seems that developpers focus their answers to the "MySQL Edition Bug Reports" forum, for paying customers. Is this the policy?
-
My advice to the development team for making FR a better piece of software is to consider seriously comments made by all customers (especially non-paying ones, because the user-base is larger), to focus on incrementally improving existing core features, especially ergonomics.

I really don't understand

Harold — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 17:41:58 +0200

I really don't understand why it's so complicated to do something about the mouse scrolling support which is a pain in the ass. I don't want to use the spacebar, I want to use my mouse wheel because the news flow feels imo better.

FR is really great and neat and all, but it's almost destroyed for me because of a little lack of ergonomic.

Please do something or please, explain what is it that is so hard to do about that mouse wheel problem? (XP SP2, had the problem with MS Explorer 3.0 and Logitech MX 620 cordless, with three sets of drivers on three different machines -from Pentium M to C2D from 512M to 2Gb-. Nothing!). Rssowl got it right, Greatnews got it right. Feeddemon got it right. They all fail for the rest. More weird, only rss readers have wheel problems on any apps I have ever had.

I'm doomed. Puhleeeze!

I agree.
Especially in the news items pane (the list with the articles) it would indeed be very nice if the Scroll-with-mousewheel behaviour already works when the mouse is hovering.

In any multiple pane view

Current behaviour
# Only most recently clicked window ("active pane") will scroll with mousewheel.

Desired Feature Request behaviour (perhaps as an option?)
# Keep most recently clicked window the "active pane" (responds to keypresses).
# Scroll-with-mousewheel behaviour works on pane over which mouse is hovering.

Thus I can more easily browse articles in my favourite classic/wide view with less clicking about.
