Mouse wheel on breadcrumb bar suggestion

[oviradoi]

I like the new breadcrumb bar.
But I think that hovering the mouse over a folder and waiting for the small arrow to appear to access the folders in that folder is kinda slow.
I also noticed that clicking the mouse wheel on the breadcrumb bar has no effect.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to use the middle mouse button (mouse wheel) click on a folder in the breadcrumb bar to directly open the menu for that folder? It's faster than waiting for the arrow and then moving the mouse down and clicking.

This should help you a little bit:

BreadcrumbDelayButton=250
Time in milliseconds the cursor must be over the path panel until the dropdown button is shown below the current directory (to open the list of subdirs). When using negative values, the dropdown list will be shown directly (no button)

Hello !

• You might have a glance HERE about all the “BreadCrumb…” entries…

You guys are always one step in front of me...
But I stand by my original suggestion.

If you set the BreadcrumbDelayButton to anything >=0, then the button appears. I find it kinda slow, because you have to move your mouse on the folder, wait the amount of time set in the INI file, then move the mouse down (but not too much, or you overshoot it and you have to do it again), and then you have to click. All these to get the menu.
If you set the BreadcrumbDelayButton to anything <0, then the folders load each time you move your mouse over the bar, causing a performance penalty, even if you try to move your mouse over the bar, with no intention to open the menu.
Using the middle mouse button would solve both situations. You would get a menu faster when you wanted to, and you don't get a menu if you don't want to.

And another thing...

Using the middle mouse button...

could be dangerous if you click two pixel above the path bar, because <MMB> does also close a folder tab.

If you set the BreadcrumbDelayButton to anything <0, then the folders load each time you move your mouse over the bar, causing a performance penalty, even if you try to move your mouse over the bar, with no intention to open the menu.

BreadcrumbDelayButton=-200 should give you 0.2 sec time to pass the path bar without opening the breadcrumb bar.

Again…

1. The MMB is not always directly available, now the most times it's done by pressing the mouse-wheel
which here is set to get the mouse-gesture with the cross-cursor, besides you ought press it again to free it up…

2. The link works OK here (IE6-Maxthon), probably your browser doesn't like the pop-ups… ?
- Or is the site wrongly black-listed to you ?
- It works too with Opera 9.21…
- Anyway, you could download and install the Tuto, link in my signature below…

I thought any negative number would open the menu in an instant. Seems like you guys are two steps in front of me
Yeah, I think this about solves it...

For me, MMB = pressing the mouse wheel. And I'm sorry, but I didn't understand what you meant to say about the mouse gesture with the cross cursor

About the link... It seems to be blocked (I don't know why) It's not being blocked from my computer, and I don't have a University ISP or something like that that would block sites. I was only able to view it using a proxy site. Maybe the hosting company isn't allowing certain countries to view it

This I would also like to see very much.

And to properly resurrect and hijack this thread (sorry, but the search came up with it):

Why not also scroll the Tabs with the mousewheel? I first saw it when using Komodo Edit from Activestate. Scrolling trough the tabs while pointing the mouse is really very handy instead of aiming for the small arrows.
