Request: Show Viewer on startup (as an option)

[budz45]

hi again,

Maybe I should make this request in the 'Suggestions' forum:

I would like an option in Options>General>General to launch XnView MP in 'Viewer' mode when I click on the xnview.exe, giving an option would be great because when you eventually support UI file drag & drop I am would like to just start drag & dropping files and viewing in a file list from there.

I created this to show what I mean:

Hello !

• I support ! Currently, I use "Specified" keeping the field blank (like in XnView 1.9…

Perhaps simply on option to start or not the brower for an empty window?

Yes an option for empty blank canvas 'Viewer' window like in Irfanview here; http://i42.tinypic.com/20z1ukw.png

I also created just created this mock-up:
the tab is blank and has a tab title message "<no file>" or maybe you think there should be nothing on the tab


It's just an idea

Hello !

• Yes, of course, but I think that such an option like budz45 shows it above is clear, well-located and unambiguous…
- With the current option I'm using, I get even so the browser, that I don't wish…
- About an empty default tab : I'm not sure that it's this needed… I would open i.e. a “Recent” file
(when the menu items work ! ) then the corresponding tab will appear.

No i means start XnViewMP without tabs

[budz45]

Thanks Clo for agreeing

No i means start XnViewMP without tabs

What about 3 options in total:
= (Pierre) - MP with No Tabs
= (budz45) - MP with just the 'viewer' tab shown
= Normal - 'browser' tab only

....Or with your "without tabs" would I still be able to drag n drop an image and it open in viewer (when drag n drop is later supported)?

[xnview]

= (budz45) - MP with just the 'viewer' tab shown

Why?

Why?

OK your right, sorry my apologies..... Yes just the 2 options:
= (Pierre) - MP with No Tabs
= Normal - 'browser' tab only


So in a future release when drag n drop to viewer is supported in MP I will be able to drag n drop to the blank interface (no tabs) and they open in viewer? It should be so am I correct?

Please check XnViewMP 0.30

Thank you so much for this feature. It's so artistic to use; open blank interface and drag&drop anything to go...

Thank you so much, feature/fix added

Much thanks Pierre.
