How to make xnview show images in full screen immediately?

Post by xnuser1 »

Hello!

I am new to XNVIEW and I am very satisfied so far. But I miss one thing I knew from ACDSee:

When I double-click on an image file, in Windows Explorer or in XNVIEW Browser, I want XNVIEW to show the image immediately in full screen mode - no step in between, no pressing F or F11!

It's THE most important feature in an image viewer for me, so I'd be very thankful for any hints.

Best regards,
Paul

(PS: Sorry for my poor English)

Welcome to the forum, Paul (-:

You can choose between Normal, Fullscreen - Edit, and Fullscreen - Browser for Mode when starting with a file (Tools » Options » General » Operations » Startup).

Thank you!

It works now with Windows Explorer, but NOT when double-clicking on an image in the xnview browser.

Is there a chance of viewing the image immediately (in one step) only with the black background? No tool bars, no boarders, no nothing.

This should do the trick: Tools » Options » Keyboard/Mouse » Switching modes » Use double click to switch between: [ Browser <> Fullscreen | Viewer <> Fullscreen ]
