> hide the tab bar if there is only one open window

As I have suggested in another thread I would very much like to see an option to disable displaying the tab bar altogether but leaving the keyboard shortcuts for tab-switching in place ( see https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=44675 ...

Well, not sure whether my suggestion re those keyboard shortcuts will ever receive any TLC... so I've tried to find a workaround. The best I came up with so far is to enable multiple instances of the app and disable the Tab bar. This does more or less what I want though at the price of creating ...

I agree with @exener that "for landscape monitors (which is most monitors), vertical space is at a premium". I would very much appreciate any method that allows me to minimise or even hide elements that I don't need. See my other thread about the possibility of hiding the Tab bar and yet supporting ...

I am a keyboard, not a mouse, guy and I use tabs a lot within MP. It's easy to switch between tabs with Ctrl-Tab and Shift-Ctrl-Tab. However, in order to save some valuable screen real estate, I have tried to switch off tab display with View>Tab>Show. That works but then the shortcuts do not work ...

Agreed.

And what's more before this new option was added expanding folders WAS the only way... so while I'm all for adding new options to make an app more flexible I would expect that the default for any NEW option to mimic the OLD behaviour. After all, when I install a new version, I do not want ...

THX Rick, that does the trick. :D

Why on earth this option is not by default set to true (so as to emulate the "old" behaviour) instead of false... who knows? :?

One reason (not the most important) why I stopped using Firefox many (pale) moons ago was that with every new version I had to spend a ...

I have just updated to .98.3 and am very unhappy that the directories in my Favorites (which used to be expandable by clicking on the small triangle left of the name) are now dumb single target shortcuts. That is a large step in the wrong direction IMHO.

I have skimmed the options and found no ...

The api-ms*.dll should be present on Win 7 x64, which dll are missing? No, they aren't, that's exactly my point.

These are relatively recent VC runtime libraries and they may be available if someone has explicitly installed them system-wide. I haven't.

This is the list of the needed DLLs:
api-ms ...

The zip is fine. The problem is simply that the developer includes *some* MS runtime DLLs in the zip but not all that are required. As I have no system-wide version of the required files xnviewmp.exe simply refuses to start. If I copy the missing files (mostly a bunch of api-ms*.dll files) into the ...

A new version and once again it will not install. Windows 7-64, trying to install the 32-bit version zip version. After unzipping the error I get is once again "The application was unable to start correctly. (0xc000007b)".

This time round it turns out that *some* of the required MS runtime DLLs are ...

You're kidding?
<shakes head>

I downloaded the recent Windows 32-bit .92 version of XnView MP (after abstaining from .91 because XnView MP has a history of bungled updates)... and it doesn't work. It doesn't even start: the xnviewmp.exe instead complains about a missing vcruntime140.dll.

Not good. But OK, so I google and it ...

Since one computer is a Mac and the other is running Linux, the file paths would not be similar unless I recreate and mount to /Volumes/share/some/path on Linux ... That was why I mentioned symlinks. Before I moved all image files to a network share it was possible for me to create symlinks in such ...

With default settings, it seems all tagging etc. are stored in the XnView.db in .config/xnviewmp?
To be able to work with the same photos from two different computers (mac laptop+Linux desktop), I should change settings to store tagging etc. in XMP? Or do I need some sync'ing of that database? (I ...

For 0.82 can you please consider either ignoring the Del key if the Categories tab has the focus or (in my view better) make it delete the current category? The current way to delete all selected images is not at all intuitive.
