XnView Software

Thanks Pierre

I have a Sony a100, it comes with some really clunky software but the one thing I do like in it and would love in XnView is a way to view photos by date as in a calender. So I could see the month of June say and any days that I took photos would be highlighted in red or some other colour to make it ...

Unfortunately it doesn't start automatically (yet).

Does MP have the same functionality as 1.96?

By default, XnView remembers and restores the folder last recently used. If you want to open the same folder at startup, always, you specify it in "Tools > Options | General | Startup directory | Specified".

Thanks but that wasn't happening in 1.96 RC 1 though. I've now switched to the complete 1 ...
