I hope 2026 is treating you all well—hard to believe we’re already nearing March!
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the recent updates to Mp3tag. In particular, the addition of horizontal mouse scrolling in the main tag editor has been a game-changer for my workflow. It makes navigating large amounts of data feel seamless.
While using the Tag Sources (MusicBrainz/Discogs) search recently, I noticed that the results window often contains more columns than can fit on the screen. It struck me that this window would be the perfect candidate for the same horizontal scrolling functionality.
The Request:
Would it be possible to bring horizontal mouse scrolling to the Search Results window? This would make verifying album data much faster when columns extend beyond the current view.
Thanks for considering this addition to Mp3tag’s already formidable arsenal!
AFAI can tell, horizontal scrolling works already undert these conditions:
the number of lines is smaller than the window can hold but the width of the columns is bigger so that (only) a horizontal scroll bar appears: the mouse wheel input now works on the horizontal scroll bar.
2 scroll bars appear: horizontal and vertical: normal operation of the mouse wheel is vertical scroll, if your mouse wheel can be tilted (mine can) then the window scrolls horizontally.
So: under which conditions are you missing horizontal scrolling and how is that realized in other applications?
Similar to conditions in the editor — but too many columns to fit in an even smaller window.
My mouse does not have a tilt-wheel, but Shift + Scroll mouse wheel (up/left or down/right) already renders the perfect result for the editor. Hopefully, this operation can be duplicated to achieve the same results in the Tag Sources search results modal.
It would be a great "consistency fix" to bring the same scrolling logic introduced in the recent v3.34-beta updates to this specific dialog.
