Hi Dobromir,
In Chimera you can increase the number of datasets shown:  in Volume Viewer, choose Features...Data display options, 

<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/volumeviewer/volumeviewer.html#disp-options>

...and then te dialog will have an option "Maximum number of histograms shown" that you can increase from the default 3.

I hope this helps,
Elaine

There is no scroll up or down. Resizing the window does not change the number of loaded files to manipulate for visualization.

It is simply not convinient to hide and show them if I want to view more than 3 files in the Volume Viewer.
