XnView Software

In the "Edit comment" dialog window (Ctrl+D), when pressing TAB in one of the text input fields, a tab character is entered. I'm suggesting to change this behavior, and to move the focus to the next widget, to allow tabbing through the entire window. (I doubt that anybody would want to actually ...

In the "Edit comment" dialog window (Ctrl+D), there's no easy way to copy an existing Description to the embedded comment.
The checkbox "Use same text for description & comment" is actually copying the comment to the Description, but there's no (straightforward) way to copy in the other direction ...

In the browser (file list), I'm suggesting to rename the column "Annotation" to "Description".

Reason: In the dialog window (Ctrl+D), it's called "Description" too (and this makes sense, since it's stored in a file named "descript.ion").

After renaming a single file in the browser (file list), when opening it, I just get a black screen.When pressing ESC, the file list returns for a second, then XnView closes (crashes).
Even pressing F5 to refresh the file list after renaming doesn't help.
The ...

Thanks, works for me now :-)

In combination with the bug I just posted viewtopic.php?f=62&t=44735, this leads to the impression that both Description and Embedded Comment are lost.

When you have some JPEGs with "Description" and "Embedded comment", and the `descript.ion` file breaks (e.g. due to the bug https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=44685), the "Edit comment" dialog window doesn't show the embedded comment anymore ...

To reproduce:

I have 6 files in a folder:
1.jpg
2.jpg
3.jpg
4.jpg
5.jpg
6.jpg

Then I select 1+2, and move them to another folder (Edit > Move to...).

Actual behaviour (bug): The cursor bar is now on 4.

Expected behaviour: Cursor bar should be on 3.

The ...

In the main window (i.e. images list), "scrolling" over large images with the keyboard (i.e. either by holding the up/down key, or by pressing it repeatedly) is very slow. The reason seems to be that XnView is decoding each image, before advancing the cursor bar to the next image.
My idea to make ...

Yeah, great, thanks! :-)

Well, right now you also don't open multiple tabs!
Current behavior: When multiple files are selected, you're opening the first one in a tab, then PageDown/Up moves through those selected files.
Suggested behavior: Open the first one in fullscreen, then have PageDown/Up move through those selected ...

Yes, and this is the bug, IMO ;-)
What's your reason for being inconsistent here? I can't see any difference between viewing one file or multiple...
Besides, there's no hint in the options, that this setting applies to single files only.

OK, let's try step-by-step :-)

Enable "Browser > File list > Select first item on entering folder"
In the main file list in the center of the screen (not in the "Folders" pane on the left!) open any folder by double-clicking or pressing Enter
The folder gets opened, but the cursor (in this main ...

When I click into the "path" bar above the file list, and then press F4, this combobox gets expanded. This action is missing from the settings list at "Interface > Shortcuts".

After enabling the option "Browser > File list > Select first item on entering folder", when I open a folder in the *file list*, the first item is not selected; the cursor stays on ".." (as if *Select first item on entering folder* was disabled ...
