Question regarding the zoom function

A question regarding the zoom function. On the PC I was using it, when using the scroll wheel, with a 2D dataset, the scroll wheel would zoom in and out. According to the help instruction, zoom should work with ctrl-shift scroll wheel, it does.
When I was loading now a 3D dataset, with z-stack, the using the scroll wheel, it turned black when clicking one position off. Turning it one click back, returned the 2D layout of the plate. (when scrolling more, it stayed black, presumably because I couldn't find the right layer anymore.) Is that a problem with using the scroll wheel, or is it an issue that the z-stack is not displayed properly?

Actually, I just loaded another dataset, and there it seems to work that the scroll wheel changes something, at least it's not black anymore. Maybe I was just not patient enough with the other image set for images to load.
It seems not to move z - plane by z plane, more like sharp and unsharp planes are interspersed.
Also, regarding multidimensionality. Is time lapse handled somehow? I was just looking at one big INCarta folder, with 4D data, >90000 files, and all time-lapse steps are in the same folder (t1... to t48...)?
Is it possible to select one one timepoint. Or does it assume a whole folder is just one timepoint?

This is because BDV by default interpolates pixel values; press "I" in the BDV window to change this (see also BDV Help).
I will upload a new version soon where interpolation is turned of by default.

at least it's not black anymore

If you move too far you will leave the data space and it will become black; to conveniently go back to somewhere where you see something try the [F] buttons in the MoBIE UI.

Is time lapse handled somehow?

In principle yes, see the other issue that I created for this.
