SOLVED - Scrolling & Anc/Desc/Both/Rels Default for Diagrams - v7

Post by Ron1951 »

Hi folks,

In v6, when viewing 'ancestors and descendants', my mouse-wheel allowed me to go up and down. In v7 it scrolls in and out, which is fine in its way, but is there a way to revert to the up and down please?

Also, when I select a record and click on either the Anc/Desc/Both/Rels button, a window opens which I have to click before I get to the view I want. Previously in v6 the view opened immediately. Can this be reset please?

Many thanks,
Ron

I don't think the behaviour of the mouse wheel can be made to revert to up/down. But you can now use the mouse to grab and drag the diagram in any direction, which I don't think could be done in V6.

To open a diagram immediately, use Tools>Preferences>Diagrams and tick Enable One-Click Diagram Disply from Toolbar.

If I hold down the CTRL key the mouse wheel scrolls up and down.

Ditto.
However, I cannot find that listed in the Help for 'Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts'.

I've reported to CP the three errors in the Help file for "Mouse Shortcuts – Mouse Wheel".
