@actran UI3-247 is included in Blue Iris 5.7.7.11 today and has alert thumbnails in the timeline. The default configuration works about like it does in Blue Iris's local console with the thumbnails only appearing at high zoom levels with a single camera selected, but this is all configurable inBut the "Alert Bar Color" is just 1 color, right? There is currently no way to tell if an alert is from cam1, cam2, etc..., right?
P.S. I'll email BI support about my enhancement request.

.I like that. I'll make it happen.@bp2008 My bad, thanks for pointing out the above group thumbnail option.
I agree, I prefer thumbnails on group view.
BTW, when thumbnails overlap one another, does it make sense to dynamically "pop-up" the desired thumbnail when you hover your mouse over it (especially if the thumbnail is partially covered by another.) ...so you have a better sense of the event before you click on it.
What if you have multiple cameras with alerts at same timestamp? Which thumbnail do you display?Version 248
- Mousing over a timeline alert thumbnail will cause it to be highlighted and drawn on top of other thumbnails.
- Clicking a timeline alert thumbnail will cause the timeline to seek to the start of the alert. This behavior can be disabled in UI Settings > Timeline.
- Misc minor bugfixes related to the timeline.
Whichever one Blue Iris says to show. The timeline data API just delivers the bare minimum required to render the timeline because otherwise the sheer volume of data is too high.What if you have multiple cameras with alerts at same timestamp? Which thumbnail do you display?
You are correct, that function does not just jump to alerts, it also will jump to the start of clips. Unfortunately the implementation is out of my hands. UI3 just instructs Blue Iris to "jump" forward or back from the current timestamp, and it is entirely up to Blue Iris to decide where exactly that should jump to.@bp2008 Not urgent. On UI3 version 249, Blue Iris version: 5.7.7.15
I use your up/down hotkeys regularly to quickly jump between alerts:

But I noticed these hotkeys also jump to the top of every hour, even when there is no event. Screenshot:

I suspect this is related to my BI5 config to combine/cut each recording for every 1hr.
Enhancement request: Provide a UI3 option so that up/down hotkeys in timeline tab will only jump to events and not to the beginning of a clip.
Why? I usually have very few or 0 events during midnight to 6AM so the up/down hotkeys are not as useful when it is stopping at the top of every hour.
HI, please consider an alternative way to display thumbnails. let them not appear all together, it is better to let them appear one at a time when hovering over a specific alert. Then you can left click on the pop-up icon to move the clip to the beginning of the event. Hover accuracy on the alert stick can be configurable in pixels.today and has alert thumbnails in the timeline.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
That is not a bad idea. I will think about it.HI, please consider an alternative way to display thumbnails. let them not appear all together, it is better to let them appear one at a time when hovering over a specific alert.

Thank you very much for looking into this improvement!

Scroll bars self adapt to page length/width. He may want to get a mouse to make navigation easier. Trackpads are horrible when you have to click and drag.Are the shrinking scrollbars (not just UI3, other web apps/sites as well) by design, or due to some other factor?
Asking for a 62-year-old friend who uses a laptop with a trackpad and has trouble scrolling through clips for a specific camera without accidentally activating all cameras.
Along similar lines (and you may already know this), you can change Win 10 & 11 to not hide the scroll bars when the mouse cursor is not near or over it; this helps me a lot.Are the shrinking scrollbars (not just UI3, other web apps/sites as well) by design, or due to some other factor?
