Ok so I just downloaded the trial and imported a folder of pictures to start playing around with. The first thing I noticed is that using the scroll wheel on my mouse no longer lets me move through the pictures. In Aperture 2, if I hovered my cursor over the viewer, moving the scroll wheel down would take me to the next picture, moving it up would take me to the previous picture, etc. If I'm zoomed in on the image, the scroll wheel would move around the view of the image. Now in version 3, the behavior while zoomed in is the same, but if I'm zoomed out then using the scroll wheel does nothing. Am I missing something here?

It may be related to some issues I've noticed with Aperture 2 and the Magic Mouse-- all it takes is a slight mis-placed finger on the Magic Mouse and it jumps lots of images when you never intended it to. It will make changes to sliders if you forget to click-off the slider and then touch the Magic Mouse. And the list goes on. I really want a way to disable the scroll feature of the Magic Mouse while in Aperture and Photoshop to prevent unintentional adjustments or wild jumps around the library. Apple may have gotten feedback about this and decided to disable the scroll features in certain situations. Remember- the Magic Mouse is the mouse that ships with their computers.
I'm using an aftermarket mouse and was, in Aperture2, able to do as you stated. Move the scroll wheel when viewing an image and move through images in my library.
In Aperture3 moving the scroll wheel, other than when zoomed in 100% does nothing. I definitely miss the ability to scroll through images when in full screen view without having to touch the keyboard.
This omission is really bugging me. As well as not swipe-scrolling through images the trackpad will adjust the size of a brush when what I am trying to do is scroll around a zoomed image. The magic mouse features appear to be limited to adjusting thumbnail size in browser view. Nothing else seems to work.
I sure hope this is configurable somehow or that Apple will put this feature back in with an update, this is really counter productive for me I'm so used to using de scroll wheel to switch images...
Wow. This is driving me nuts. How could they take that feature away. I can't navigate through 17,000 pictures with swiping the magic mouse or hitting the arrow keys. I think I may downgrade back to Aperture 2.0 and see if Apple will refund my money.
This was the first thing I noticed... I spent like 20 minutes looking through all the menus and the customizable key commands for some way to change the mouse behavior. this is something i do CONSTANTLY while using this piece of software ,so its really frustrating.
What I did in the mean time was use USB Overdrive, (which is nice since i have a logitech G5) and i set up the Aperture application to have specific settings, so scroll down = right keystroke, and scrollup = left keystroke... This works great in full view, the only problem is scrolling in browser view, or the inspector.
Oh my god Apple Aperture, what is wrong with you team, I was and am still in panic after launched knowing that I can't scroll through images with my scroll mouse. That is the main reason I use Aperture for fantastic thumbnail preview scrolling, this feature being removed is unreasonable for user like me and it greatly affects productivity.
Can I use this updated Aperture library back with Aperture 2?
scrolling does still work if you deselect the photo first, when no photo is showing on the top viewer you can scroll through the thumbnails on the bottom no problem.
selecting a photo effectively locks the scrolling feature so you dont inadvertently scroll while you are working on a photo.
