Scroll wheel with Eagle 6 on Mac

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 14 years ago

Hi,

 

I've just upgraded to Eagle 6 (I'm looking forward to  indexing the XML format files for my search engine!) - however, I can't  get the scroll wheel to work.

 

It's enabled in the options (User Interface -> Mouse wheel zoom = 1.2), but it does absolutely nothing.

 

If I load Eagle 5.11, it works fine.

 

Note that setting the zoom to 0 doesn't allow me to scroll around either.

 

This happens with both of my mice (wired and wireless mighty mouse).

 

Any ideas?

 

BTW, I'm glad the bug where my ULPs to set the print zoom, mirror, black and so forth has been fixed since 5.11 - although I still can't use the Cmd-<n> keys to switch between the windows.

    Can someone clarify the Magic Mouse gesture behavior in v6.0? I couldn't find it in the help documentation. I really like how you pan using the touch surface, but I haven't been able to figure out how to zoom. I've tried holding the Command key while using a single finger up/down motion and also a two finger up/down gesture, but neither worked. Is it no longer possible to zoom without clicking on the zoom button or using F3? Mind you, I don't want to revert back to the old behavior, as I really prefer being able to pan using the mouse surface, I'd just like to be able to zoom somehow too.

    I am not sure how this is considered an acceptable release for V6.0. Without zoom functionality it is totally useless. How could this have been tested on an OS X machine and passed?

    Can I also echo these sentiments.

     

    How on earth you decided to remove such key functionality is beyond me.

    As someone who switches between OS X and Linux regularly, having to

    cope with two different UI's would be ridiculous.  Thankfully you have

    an option to revert to the old behaviour.
