Two wishes and a maybe bug

Post by xephu »

Hi,
first, I wanna say, that XnView MP looks very great and seems like I can get rid of my old ACDSee 3.1 with it. All the other viewers I've tested so far are much slower than ACDSee 3.1 and have less or only functions I don't need. XnView MP is much better, than any other solution I've seen so far, and there is also a Linux Version. Wow. Very, very great work. Thank you very much. If I had money, I would donate you some ;)

But to really get rid of my old ACDSee I still miss some things:

1. A way to disable prereading files like resolution in browser mode. Because it slows down the performance and I used it in ACDSee as a bookmark. As it shows those information only to those files which I have watched. Very useful for me :)

2. I need a faster way to make comments without the need to select the descript.ion field. Because I need that very often. Maybe a way to select a default would be nice. Also it would be cool if I can double click on the comment field which opens the comment window to add or edit a comment then. And it would be nice if the comment would be wrote when I press return. That would increase speed of commenting to me. Oh, and it would be helpful to be able to make comments in fullscreen per strg+d too :)

And then I have found one little bug I think. When I open a picture in fullscreen and press return, the file browser is shown for a very short time and then the fullscreen is reopened. I would expect to leave fullscreen that way. A bug or a feature? :)

You can disable the 2 pass loading in xnview.ini
[Viewer] prevSize=@Size(0 0)

Sorry but i don't understand the problem

You means the comment field in info pane?
And it would be nice if the comment would be wrote when I press return. That would increase speed of commenting to me. Oh,
But the comment is written when you press RETURN

You are in the browser, select a file, press ENTER => fullscreen, you press ENTER again and you don't quit fullscreen??
