+--- Thread: No animation on next page / page+ / page - (/showthread.php?tid=10623)
No animation on next page / page+ / page - - jp06 - 01-15-2020
I notice that there is a sliding animation when I turn the page by clicking, but there is none when I use the arrow keys (I set next page action for right arrow and page- on left arrow) for turning page. Is there a way to fix it?

There isn't any setting that controls this behaviour - it is just the way that the program works. But I will take a look at whether it would be complicated to change this behaviour. It might be do-able.

Looking forward to it. It is not too important anyway but thanks for clarifying!
Amazing app by the way.

Just to clarify why it's more complicated than meets the eye: one good feature of the existing setup is that it gives a good behaviour with 'key repeat'. For instance, if you have the down-arrow key bound to 'next page', then when you keep the down-arrow key pressed, Freda will flick quickly through the pages, until you lift your finger off the key. That seems like a good thing to do, but obviously if an animated page-change is enabled, then you won't get that behaviour - unless I add a special case check to the code, along the lines of "the change-page command should use an animated transition, unless the same command was also issued recently - e.g. within 500ms - in which case it should it do a jump transition". That isn't too conceptually complicated, but there are various ways in which it could go wrong, because the page-transition code is complicated (with a rather intricate division of labour between the program's UI thread and the embedded graphics library).
Anyhow, I am looking into it.

+1 I would like to request this feature too.
Also, an animation for a 'reverse' turn (turning back a page) if that's doable. I know it's eye-candy so no hurt-feelings if it can't be easily achieved. But fixing the button would be nice.
