I find that when I have a bunch of events in the Media manager, and I run my mouse across them sometimes they get larger, and sometimes they dont. I really like the feature but if it doesn't work all the time then it is useless---any others experience this?
yeah--I think its a bug---Maybe someone from Sony will comment. I've posted it in a couple of other threads---That and the scrubber are the only issues I am presently having.
I don't think what you're seeing is a "bug" -- every time you want the clips to expand, you have to "refresh" the function by hovering over any given clip te re-engage the effect. If you let your cursor leave the window, and then come back, you have to refresh it again. You can change the hover wait time -- it's defaulted to 1,000 milliseconds.
Huh. What kinda meeces are you working with? I've got two -- an MS Optical Intellimouse USB and a Logitech optical wireless bluetooth/USB. They're both connected to a Belkin USB 2.0 4-port PCI card (NEC chipset).
What Windows settings have you fiddled with, WRT mice? I've done some tweaking with TweakUI for menus and have increased a lot of the mouse movement speeds because I need to get across two 17" monitors quickly.
Have you adjusted the thumbnail response time? (just set mine to 500 milli., which I like more)
Maybe it's just easer for me by virtue of all my HL2 playing :D
I am using the MS Optical Intelligmouse, and know I haven't tweaked it yet---excellent idea and I will give it a go. I will also try speeding up my thumbnail response time. Thanks for the ideas
TweakUI gives you the option of setting the delay response time for menus when you hover -- I don't know if this has an impact, but mine is set almost instantaneous.
We call it thumbnail zooming and as long as you stay within the search results area, whatever thumbnail is underneath the mouse is zoomed.
For audio, it isn't that exciting obviously. For video or still images it is quite useful.
You can control the delay factor before we start to zoom in the media manager options (from the toolbar menu within the media manager pane). You can also disable the entire feature if you find it annoying vs. useful.
We stop zooming as soon as you move the mouse beyond the search results pane so that you can easily use controls along the edges of the pane - like the thumbnail size slider or the details checkbox button or the toolbar. Perhaps when you find it "erratic", you are actually moving the mouse outside the area where zooming is allowed?
