Summary: Can't just scroll with the mouse
Classification: Applications
Product: gwenview
Version: 24.01.90
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
Can't just scroll with the mouse
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an image with Gwenview
2. Turn the mouse scroll wheel up or down
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens!
EXPECTED RESULT
I expect that the image is zoomed in or out depending on the direction in which
the scroll wheel is turning
And when zoomed in, the part zoomed tries to be where the mouse cursor is.
Like in:
Microsoft's Windows's default image viewer: Photo viewer
GNOME's default image viewer: Image Viewer (Loupe)
MATE default image viewer: Eye of MATE
Nomacs
Viewnior
Vipdisp
qView
Image Roll
Pineapple Pictures
You can even zoom in or out maps in web browsers, which once was not possible
and you had to press buttons.
I find it strange that we have to go back to that and even worse as those zoom
buttons were on the map and still accessible with the mouse, unlike a image
viewer requiring you to press a button on the physical keyboard itself.
Which is a shame as your other hand might be busy holding something like
something to eat, drink, your head if you're in bed, might be injured, the
keyboard might be broken / faulty, the key that needs to be pressed might be
broken / faulty.
It also requires the knowledge that a key needs to be pressed at the same time
while the wheel is turned.
And then it requires the knowledge of which key is that as it will not work
with any key.
I would have a very hard to explain that to my parents that can barely use
their phones.
Making them remember that a key also needs to be pressed and which key is that,
it will unfortunately be to hard for them.
And not only them, but I have to explain to every friend that uses my computer
or for which I put Linux + Plasma on their computer.
Requiring all that and having to do a web search to understand why the zoom in
/ out doesn't just work as on Windows or other image viewers and to find out
what key needs to be pressed at the same time while the scroll wheeel is moving
is, in my opinion, pretty bad for usability.
I think that zooming in / out when viewer pictures is pretty common and should
be more intuitive.
Having to press additional and unknown keys for the majority of us, is not
intuitive.
