Missing tab in preview pane of layout #3

[XnTriq]

This is how my installation of XnView v1.97.0 looks like:

I've got tabs for Properties, Histogram, EXIF, IPTC, XMP and Categories, but the tab for Preview — as seen in the screenshots below — is missing.

Maybe I misunderstood but why shall you have a preview tab when preview is always shown left of the tabs?? When you press the small triangle/arrow right of the preview in the first screenshow, the tab "preview" shall become available to make a preview accessible - just like in the second screenshot... Cheers, Georg

I don't understand. You would like to have the preview as a Tab, right??
Click on the little blue arrow

Thank you for your replies, Gentlemen

Today I was able to narrow the problem down to a single INI entry:

Code: Select all

[Browser]
Layout=3
ShowPreview=1
VHidePanel=2

As it turns out, there has been a similar report before: vertical layout in preview pane without tabs (EXIF, etc.)

Pierre, which setting in Tools » Options... is responsible for changing VHidePanel=0|1|2?

It's only 0|1, and it's when you use the little blue arrow

Starting with a clean INI, I was able to reproduce a value of 2 for VHidePanel.

VHidePanel=0 vs. VHidePanel=0 + Use tabs:

This observation may not be important, so I've moved this topic from “Bug Reports” to “General Support”.
