Re: 1.9.5: Shift+Arrow selects wrong images after returning to list

There you go, I think I found it:
I deleted my xnview.ini (to reset to default), then I could not reproduce it anymore.
I had to change 2 settings to make it reproducible:

Settings > Interface > Switching modes > Enter: Browser <-> Fullscreen | Viewer <-> Fullscreen
View > View as > Details

Re: 1.9.5: Shift+Arrow selects wrong images after returning to list

I just double-checked, it's exactly as I wrote above. I know it's weird and complicated to follow :-)
Possible ambiguities:

I'm talking about the cursor arrow keys, not PageDown.
When pressing Enter to view the image, I have no images selected (i.e. cursor bar is on one file only), so what I'm ...

3. Press the PageDown ...

Suggestion: Make the "Edit comment" dialog window keyboard-accessible

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 ...

Suggestion: Allow copying Description -> Comment

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 ...

Suggestion: Rename column "Annotation" to "Description"

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").

1.9.3: XnView crashes when viewing a just renamed image

XnView: MP 1.9.3 64 bit
OS: Linux 64bit

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.

Re: batch rename feature incorrectly updating descript.ion file

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.

1.4.2: "Edit comment" > checkbox "Use same text for description and comment" does remember its last state

XnView: MP 1.4.2 64 bit
OS: Linux 64bit

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 ...

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

Expected behaviour: Cursor bar should be on 3.

Speed up scrolling with keyboard (up/down key) through a list of large image files

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 ...

Re: 0.98.4: Setting "Switching mode" not respected when selecting *multiple* files in browser

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 ...
