Hi @Ian_Gillan,
Could you clarify what youāre requesting for.
Many thanks.
Hey Carl,
I simply mean that if you use Roon App on MAC / PC you cannot scroll through your artist or album list like with a website or a word document. Just scroll with the mouse wheel and the list moves vertically.
Understood, Iāve moved your posts into this existing topic, so all the requests are together.
I came back to this old thread, and made an observation about my recent habits.
When reading a document thatās in pdf format (in my iPad because why would I use a PC for reading) I typically transfer the document to iBooks, because it has a better behavior than either Safari or Acrobat, better understanding of the page layout. If the document is laid out in page boundaries, why would I want vertical scrolling that ignores those boundaries?
But more interesting: I have found that when Iām reading regular web stuff, or newspapers or magazines that scroll vertically within each article, for longer or more important articles I often send them to iBooks too. Safari converts it to a pdf with reasonable page boundaries, and removing ads and navigational chrome. This was not any kind of principled move, I just found it more convenient when reading.
Granted, reading is not the same as navigating a control user interface like Roon, which has a much more lively navigational path. I just thought it was interesting.
You can get vertical scrolling if you rotate your display 90 degreesš
vertical paging you mean
Or your head
On a tablet, my main remote, horizontal pages have a more convenient feel to me. Itās more like flipping through a book or a magazine.
So, Roon, if you change anything in the scrolling behaviour, PLEASE make it an option. Not like some other changes in the past, that pleases a few loud shouting people, but made it worse for many others,
Roon will realize the urgent need for their interface design / GUI / UX update in next major version. Itās not just the scrolling that is lacking.
Hopefully the Roon team is aware of this.
I just wanted to register my vote again for vertical scrolling on the desktop and the iPad. Sideways scrolling sucks.
Iām not against it but it seems an odd focus relative to so many higher priorities that relate to real functionality.
Hi everyone, I joint the group requesting vertical scrolling. So much natural. Appreciate some may want to keep the current behavior, hence option would be ideal. Thanks and hope to see this is arriving in the next Roon version
I also vote for vertical scrolling with higher priority for the next release. Horizontal scroll is there in the pad app for some time, so why vertical scroll is missing in the phone app?
I see posts dating back to 2015 but I donāt see any from support about fixing this problem.
The horizontal scrolling is just awful, so counter-intuitive and makes the scroll wheel just about totally ineffective. Iāve put my mouse settings on the lowest possible but itās almost impossible to scroll just one page at a time. Itās also so illogical. Just about every other type of software scrolls vertically when browsing, so why an option to do this is not in Roon I donāt really understand. Itās not a particularly difficult fix.
Iām currently on a 60 day trial of Roon and so far very impressed, despite the vastly over-inflated price tag. However, if thereās no option to choose vertical scrolling on the Roadmap, then this is probably the deal breaker for me.
I could never get used to the horizontal scrolling, nor would I want too. Please fix this. soon.
To fix something, it has to be broken.
Horizontal scrolling is nothing broken, itās a design decision. Like flipping through a booklet. And with a touchscreen device as remote it is a more natural way to swip left and right (like a book) as up and down.
It is your right to not like it, but please also respect, that other people like it as it is.
A choice would be a good thing. BTW completely changing the way a UI works isnāt really, easy to do , when that includes multiple OS, resolutions etc.
Most tablet Apps I use, donāt behave like a book and even iBooks let me choose how I can flip my pages.
Youāre right, itās a design decision. Also which tools roon labs have chosen was a decision, maybe not the best, when changing that behaviour is complicated.
I also donāt like the horizontal scrolling, but itās not a deal breaker for me. Furthermore I hope they are so quiet here because they work hard on the mobile sync.
I 2nd that!
