Trouble with viewing photos and scrolling

Beta

I'm encountering trouble with viewing photos and scrolling the timeline.

When DFly first opens, it provides a window which is quite narrow and tall. While that size is fine, in this configuration, when a photo is clicked on the width of the photo is limited by the width of the DFly window. This means that photos are displayed in such a small size that I can't see any details. They’re hardly bigger than the thumbnail. To actually view any level of detail in the photo, I have to dramatically expand the width of the DFly window.

Once this is done, I am able to view photos as I want to see them at their full size. However, this creates a new problem in that any time my cursor is not directly hovering over posts in the timeline, I am unable to scroll the timeline. Hovering my mouse to the left or right of the timeline removes my ability to scroll up and down.

I have further noticed that when scrolling the timeline, there is a scrollbar displayed on the right side showing me where I am in the timeline. Much of the time, the scrollbar cannot be selected. When the scrollbar can be selected, it behaves in an erratic manner.

Ideally, photos would display at a size which is not constrained by the size of the DFly window and should display at a size large enough to see fine details.

Here is a demonstration of these issues:

    Thanks again for the detailed feedback. In the latest version of the app (1.3.0), when viewing an image fullscreen, you can now pinch to zoom in and out. Hope that helps!

    Thank you for the detailed feedback !! The screen recording really helps us understand your points.

    1. “photos are displayed in such a small size that I can't see any details” : We'll look into increasing the max width of the page so images can be larger.


    2. “Hovering my mouse to the left or right of the timeline removes my ability to scroll up and down” You’re right. We didn’t anticipate users expanding the window that way. We’ll work on a fix.

    3. “Much of the time, the scrollbar cannot be selected” Could you let us know if you're using a trackpad or a mouse? On a MacBook trackpad, we haven’t encountered this issue, but we’ll test on more devices to replicate the issue.

    In this screen recording I’m grabbing the scrollbar with the trackpad :
