Search result lost when switching to view

Post by negg »

Hi Group,
Not sure if this is a feature or a bug, and also did not find anything about this in the forums, so I start a thread here:
When a search result is displayed in the browser and I switch to View Mode for one of the images the browser jumps back to the folder I searched in, before it opens the view, so my search is lost.
The only way I found to look at an image is to use the browser quick fullscreen view. Any comments? Is there a setting for this?

:) Hello !
- You might try this, it works keeping the Search result when coming back to the browser @ home, like you said :
Options >> Browser >> Field “Startup Directory” >> Tick the radio-button "Specified", but leave the field empty (blank)…

:mrgreen: Kind regards,
Claude
