XnView Software

I have just been digging deeper and it's thankfully not an XnView problem. Whichever type of file I double click, its associated program loads in the background and whichever file manager I was using retains focus. I downloaded a couple more file managers and they exhibit the same behaviour. Very ...

When double clicking an image, Xnview opens and shows the image, but the window doesn't have focus. I usually double click the image then use the keyboard, so it's a bit disconcerting for a second or two when nothing happens. I am using v2.44, Windows 10 Pro. I am not sure exactly when this ...

That setting wasn't it I'm afraid. It seems to be just happening in the latest version and not in 1.80.3
I'll try a couple more older versions.

edit: I ended up deleting the contents of the XNView folder and unarchiving a fresh ZIP download into the folder, set it to keep the ini file in its own ...

I restored a fresh Windows image and it still happened, so I installed v1.80.3 and it worked without the delay.

I restored todays image and installed v1.80.3 and it's still OK. I checked between the two version and read ahead is set in the latest version but not in v1.80.3 so you might be onto ...

No databases of any size, and it can happen with any jpg no matter where it is on my drives, but you've given me food for thought...

Nope, it wasn't that. One of my drives spins down after a certain idle time, but a batch file keeps it awake so it isn't that either. Plus, as I just said, it ...

I just tried it in a folder with only 5 files and it still took 5 seconds to open. These are all small jpg's. I closed XNView and double clicked another file and it now opens instantly.

Another thing I have noticed, when I haven't viewed any images for some time during the day, XNView is once again ...

I've had this problem for maybe a couple of months, could be more or less, I wasn't keeping track. :) XnView is slow to start first time I double click an image. After showing that image and then closing XNView, the next image shows almost immediately. However, if I don't view an image for some time ...

I sorted it, thanks. :) I'd guessed there was a global shortcut installed that was using ctrl-alt-L, and I finally found it is a program I use called Sticky Passwords. :evil: Luckily it allowed me to change the key combination so that ctrl-alt-L is available to XNView again. If only *all* programs ...

Unfortunately, the fact that it works for you doesn't help me.

Reproduce? It simply doesn't work at all.

Is there a way I can have a button for it?

I don't know if it's a bug or if something else is intercepting the key combo. Sometimes XNview loses focus when I try the key combo, even when only XNview is running. Is it a bug? and if not, where do I look to correct the problem?

Is it possible?

Has this option been suggested before? It would be a great help for me if it was implemented.

Thanks,

Martin.
