Affected area

Thumbnail Grid and Settings

Current behavior

Grid Scrolling is a bit erratic and unclear how many lines have been scrolled

Desired improvement

Define a setting for choosing the number of rows the grid will scroll by
Define a setting for "smooth scrolling
- Default to enabled
- Enable quick, but smooth scrolling of the thumbnail grid so the user can see the images scroll to the new row
- Add a tiny amount of easing at the end so they settle gently.
- Start by targeting .4 seconds for the entire scroll operation: 0.25 for the scroll and 0.15 for the ease

Implemented on branch 0.1.44/issue-55-58-72-87-grid-nav-zoom (chained off the previous dev branch, not merged to main yet).

Added two new Settings → Advanced controls: "Grid scroll rows" (1–10, default 2 — how many thumbnail rows a wheel notch scrolls) and "Smooth grid scrolling" (default on — animates the scroll instead of jumping instantly, via a QPropertyAnimation with an out-cubic easing curve over 400ms). Implemented as GridScrollFilter, an event filter on the grid viewport that explicitly defers to Ctrl+wheel zoom (#55) and otherwise replaces Qt's default small pixel-step scroll. Covered by new tests in tests/test_grid_input_filters.py and a settings-persistence test in tests/test_pr13_config.py.

Note: this approximates the two-phase "0.25s scroll + 0.15s ease" spec from the issue with a single eased animation over a combined duration, to avoid overengineering a two-stage timer for a UX effect that reads the same either way.

Bundled with #58, #55, and #72 in the same branch/PR.
