XnView Software

Plenty of space on today's wide screens to show Before and After side by side, for instant comparison while tweaking the sliders. Preferably zooming both windows at the same time as well.

Thanks.

Is there a way to fire up XnView in compare view by passing files via startup parameters?
Some command line parameter like "xnview.exe -compare File1.jpg File2.jpg" or anything along that line?

Doesn't the word "alternate" by its very nature suggest that it's not the default, and since the default is double-click ....

But to move from philosophy to practical help:
1) Try Options > Keyboard/Mouse > Open Action, then for video files choose "Open in associated program"
2) Then right-click a ...

You should get a little +Plus-sign on your mouse cursor. Try toggling it On/Off while holding down the left mouse button.

It's the same all over Windows, I always use it to make sure I do actually copy and not move (although it is not required for some instances, Windows by default always copies ...

1. In the directory tree on the left, be able to move folders into other folders or rearrange.
...being able to do so entirely in the left side folder tree
I strongly second this suggestion. Been missing that badly.


2. On the right side thumbnail window .... right-click-and-drag while holding ...

Dragging folders - moving them to another location - is not reflected in the folder tree. Refresh won't help either. I always have to click away into different folders, then come back to verify my file/folder operations have been carried out.

Makes sense. Guess I am too preoccupied with my tree problem and with organizing my pics to think straight.
Will take your advice and open a new thread for this.
Thanks anyway.

Hmm, thanks but it's still not working for me.
All Metadata command are greyed out on the fly-out menu. None of the EXIF data are activated anyway in my casee, all disabled. And I am not using the cache either.

I also experience a bunch of Refresh issues on Win7 x64.
Tried the same variations of enabling/disabling Cache, Embedded thumbnails - but nothing helps.

Most confusing to me is the tree behavior. Dragging folders is not reflected in the tree, I always have to remind myself to click away into other ...

When enabling the mousewheel to scroll up/down (Options > Keyboard/Mouse), it were nice to have some way of scrolling left and right, too, by holding down Alt or Shift while wheeling the mouse.

Thanks.
I will switch over as soon as ZIP-support is implemented in XnViewMP

Aware of this issue, I tried to work around it by keeping my pics in a mounted partition that I always assign the same drive letter to.

However, when moving pics within such a partition AND within XnView (dragging them in the browser, from the list view onto the tree), XnView still breaks its own ...

Is this the correct file?
I don't see much inside, all screenshots are missing, hardly any info at all.

Is there a way to save layouts?
I find myself adjusting and dragging the various areas to accommodate different workflows. It were nice if I could simply switch between them.
