Just the wrong tools for what you were attempting to do. This is user error. Though I do think that adjusting the mouse mapping could solve this problem. That way we could link the correct navigation tool to the middle mouse wheel. And nope, I don't do it. I always have my hands on the w, e and alt keys to navigate. Though I've been using Carrara since version 1, so I might have a little experience up on you. I do feel your pain, I used to switch to the storyboard room all the time. And that was back when generally you'd freeze Carrara when you did that. |
Please try reading my post before responding. I was not "trying" to do anything other than scrolling through the sequencer. As for the shortcuts, I use them too, I dont use the tools on the side of the screen, never have with any app that has shortcuts. It slows down productivity. As I said, I had a problem with the mousewheel and trying to scroll through a long list in the sequencer not with using the wrong tools on the side of the screen.
As for the tools and their availability, call it user error if you want, the problem is the user shouldnt be able to make such an error that simply and I still find it hard to believe that those tools are useful in perspective mode. If they are, it certainly isnt often enough to have them available all the time. As for using Carrara since version 1, like I already said I use the shortcuts as well, in this program along with a dozen others. I dont think it has anything to do with "experience". Yes I have only used Carrara since C3 Studio, but I think since I use it daily in a professional capacity I think I have enough experience with it. So read again, it doesnt matter if it is user error or not, the user has very little need for these tools in perspective mode. Regardless of whether you do it or I do it, enough people have done it over the years. Either by accident or because they thought the tool was for that view.
Is that clearer?
