XnView Software

Only half way fixed. :? Please check, if it is possible to adjust the filmstrip hight according the total hight of thumbnail + details. 1st half: Now I can manually adjust the height, which wasn't possible before. I have to increase it when I add details, and to decrease it when I remove details. 2n...

Since v1.80RC1 I use xnView as image viewer with TotalCommander.
With the TC built-in QuickView it is possible to view an image in one pane.

Therefore I like to suggest an option to center the shown image horizontally and vertically in the pane (like it is possible with the Imagine plugin).

Yes that's true - and I never want to miss it again!

Yes, most users do ... but not all.
As described in the initial post - it's a question of consistence.

"View As" and Layouts are two completely different features. You can't get the Filmstrip layout or any layout by using "View As" or F9. Yes, that's like it should be - but it isn't :!: When I'm in layout=6 (filmstrip) and press <F9> or leftclick on "View as", the layout immidiatly changes to =4. No...

Fine! Hope you have a kind of todo list.

I've corrected the quoted post some minutes ago!

Yes, it's nearly 10 times faster - checked it with 331 JPEGs, each approx. 2 MB.

So everything works fine with embedded thumbnails!

Rotate embedded thumbnails according to their EXIF orientation flag
- SOLVED

Drastically decrease thumbnail loading time with embedded thumbnails
- SOLVED

Everyone agrees?

I do

But please read my post (5 above) and find out the speed-up with checked "Use embedded Thumbnails" for yourselves.
IMHO it must be quicker!

Each time you leftclick the "View as" icon, the view is pushed to the next list entry of the ComboBox. :bug: The first list entry seems to be the actually selected thumbnail view. I don't know exactly because the list is invisible. In my case it's the Filmstrip layout. When I step through the whole ...

But certainly make that an option, if implemented. Nothing else ... :wink: I guess, this is the reason (and really reasonable) why xnview doesn't show first thumbnail as preview at start... ... therefore it should be an option ... :P Lesmo, you can just press any arrow at start... Sure I can - but ...

... it seems to sensibly speed up thumbnail display in not-yet cached folders (just a feeling - i haven't scientifically timed this yet). Yes, I also found a sensibly speed-up, but there must be a drastically speed-up. Pierre announced a 10 times faster thumbnail reading speed. Unfortunately I can'...

Yes, that's what I've meant - and the highlighted thumbnail should be shown as preview.

I like to suggest an additional option:

"Show first thumbnail as preview", which means that the first image of the active folder will be shown as preview.
I personally would like that behaviour by default, but perhaps other users won't like it - therefore the option.

No problems with this great feature!

IMO the thumbnail option "Use embedded thumbnails" should also be activated by default.

1. The photo's height is bigger than it's width. - So, it should "stands up". 2. The Preview panel shows correctly. - That is, it stands up. 3. But the thumbnail doesn't. - It lies down. @ nelson : If I got you right ... 1. is a portrait 2. preview is fine 3. thumb isn't automatically rotated You h...
