Possible MC Improvements for Mac

There MAY be a way to work around that. We are looking into it.

That makes a lot of sense, because the hardware itself should be more than capable of drawing 60+ with no issue even with MC covering the entire useable screen space. I haven't upgraded from 29 yet but a snappier UI would sell me on the spot!

Scrolling Smoothness/Speed will always be affected by what you are scrolling and where on the screen the mouse is placed.
For example in those views where the CoverArt is displayed, like Albums View, hovering on an individual Image will bring up a men, so if you are scrolling through that page with the mouse placed anywhere other than in the scrollbar area there will always be times where scrolling will result in 2 redraws, the 11st to redraw all the images and then the 2nd to display the menu associated with the Image the Mouse is Hovering Over.
Scrolling while the Mouse is hovering somewhere in the ScrollBar area will alwyas be smoother/faster then scrolling with the mouse than hovering anywhere else on a page/view displaying only coverart.
Having said that by making 2 simple changes to the Mac Mouse Settings I've managed to get Scrolling on the Mac to be Identical, in both speed and smoothness.
All I did was switch off "Natural Scrolling", which reverses the scroll wheel action from Mac Style to Windows Style and Increase the Scroll Speed.
Incidentally, my mouse and keyboard combination are used on both my Win and Mac PC's using Bluetooth and I'm now loving the fact that I no longer have to remember that the scroll wheel works the other way round on the mac.
I also compared resizing the MC Standard View Window with resizing the Mac Application Monitor Window and was not surprised to find that resizing the MC Standard View Window was easier, quicker and smoother than resizing the Application Monitor Window; even though the target area for the resize handle for both windows was, as far as I could visually discern, identical.

My mac is unresponsive when trying to select a large number of files so I can update files from tags. When I try to select a large number of files, the machine seems to freeze (spinning ball) and eventually I have to terminate the JRiver app. Don't have this problem with Windows. My mac has plenty of RAM - 32 GB Mac Studio. When can I do to fix this?

Regarding scrolling on my iMac and MacBookPro (specs in signature) it is always jumpy when I scroll through Pane Views. Might be because both machines are old.
