Possible MC Improvements for Mac

JimH:
What happens without the third party app?

blgentry:
I've just tried some experiments:

1.  Normal OS scroll settings.
2.  LogitOptions+ Smooth Scrolling enabled
3.  MOS Smooth Scrolling enabled.

LogiOptions+ is Logitech's software for working with their mice on Macs.  I just found the Smooth Scrolling button today.
MOS is a free application that makes scrolling smoother with 3rd party mice on Mac.  https://mos.caldis.me

All experiments done on an M1 Mac mini.

With 1, everything (Safari, MC, etc) is jumpy and judder.
With 2, Safari and other apps are really quite smooth.  MC is smoother, but still jumpy.
With 3, Safari and friends become even smoother and really fluid.  MC is about the same as 2.

If I make the MC window about half the size of my screen, it becomes much smoother.  Running MC maximized, it's pretty jumpy.

Overall I'm really happy to have discovered the LogiOptions+ setting and this other utility.  Maybe there's something that can be adjusted a bit in MC to make it scroll as smoothly as Safari.

Thanks,
Brian.

Hello Bob, would there be any possibility of making the upgrade process easier with MC for the Mac?

Something like an “in app” upgrade process instead of paying, getting a license, downloading new version, Installing the new version, find the library, copy library file over to new version, etc?

You can restore from a backup.  MC makes them automatically.  If you have trouble finding them, search for *.zip files.

I agree it could be better.

I was thinking about this and wanted to clarify my thoughts.

Today, when you use Display View in MC for MC (Command-3) it does exactly what I'm asking for.  It puts MC into its own Space and switches to it.

All I'm asking for is that when you maximize MC in Normal Mode, that it do the same thing:  Switch to it's own a space *and* be maximized.   Since MC does not have a traditional title bar (OS provided) there is no need to remove that.  Unmaximizing would then bring MC back to the original Space at the original size.

Thanks for reading.
Brian.
