Scrolling in preview pane - X-Mouse Button Control

Post by oO0XX0Oo »

Hi,

I'm using https://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMo ... ontrol.htm since many years mainly to be able to accelerate scrolling in a lot of applications.

I'm using the latest v1.5 alpha and I'm only using the process name (everything64.exe) to target Everything inside the config of X-Mouse.

Acceleration in the main window part where the search results are shown is absolutely fine but scrolling in the preview is very slow and there doesn't seem to way to change that (tried all available scrolling methods).

Does anybody else use X-Mouse Button and has a tip to use it for the preview pane as well?

I guess scrolling in the preview area is not under control of Everything.
Its handled by the preview handler which is a different one depending on the file type.

The window itself is still displayed by Everything

This works (for every preview handler type):

Target "Parent Class" = EVERYTHING_PREVIEW_HANDLER

Unfortunately, the third party preview handler manages the mouse wheel events.

Does the issue also occur in Windows Explorer preview pane?

The preview pane runs in another process, usually prevhost.exe
Please try adding prevhost.exe to your X-Mouse config.

What is the preview of? (eg: txt files)
The standard text preview handler appears to animate a single mouse wheel scroll event, making scrolling very slow..

By default, the preview pane in Windows Explorer is slow as well, yeah.

I've assigned a few types to the Windows inbuilt (text) preview handler, like .ahk and a few other text-based source code file formats.

I can accelerate both previews (Everything and Windows Explorer) by using prevhost.exe

I was a bit unsure if all preview handlers use that one as their host but it does seem to be the case.

Tried e.g. a .msg preview handler (https://www.brandsict.nl/msgpreviewer_en.php) and that is accelerated as well with prevhost.exe
