Displaying file'sinformation on two screens

Post by Gérard 91 »

I moved this subject from "Xnview classic suggestion" which was not the right place.

Hi,
When two screens are used
- one for displaying thumbnails (with all files's information at the bottom)
- and one for full screen (F11 on a thumb)
Information (exif, IPTC ...) are automatically moved (but not properties) on second screen's side (the full screen one). This require mouse to be use, carefully, to develop, carefully, this hidden panel.

It would be nice to have the opportunity to let these information still visible on the first screen (or choice between two option).
Perhaps it's still possible, but I don't find where.


Thanks Pierre to consider (or help me to set)

Bien cordialement

Go to Tools | Settings | Full Screen and uncheck the 'Floating Views' checkbox.

Thank's for reply M.TH
Unchecking the 'Floating Views' checkbox avoid small views and information (metadata) on the second screen(full screen).
But unfortunately, for me (W7 pro Xnview MP 0.64....?), this as no effect on displaying metadata on the first screen where they still miss.
Using this setting needs a "specific user" display on the second full screen to have few information about each file enlarged.

Sincerly
