Hey!
I'm new to XnViewMP but quite skilled with software in general.
I just stumbled oder 2 issues that make life unnecessary hard on the mac:
1.) Keyboard unusable
Aber opening XnViewMP and navigating to a folder, I can use the arrow keys to navigate through pictures and videos.
When I open a picture by double clicking it, then closing this viewer, then XnViewMP does not react on keyboard keypresses. Instead a beep indicates that the keyboard was pressed, where it can't be used. (I also can't use other keybaord hotkeys in this state). I have to close XnViewMP and start it again to get the keyboard navigation working again.
2.) No keyboard actions in confirmation dialog
When an image is selected, and I want to delete it, I press the delete key (on the macbook air that is the fn + the backspace key).
Now a confirmation window pops up ("do you really want to..."). Possible actions are no and yes. "No" is preselected. I don't have ANY chance to select "Yes" using the keyboard. (the dialog doesn't react on arrow keys nor does it react when I press "Y" or so).
Not really a bug but a usability issue that would be extremely easy to fix.
Best regards,
Ralf S.
Btw: It's version 0.72

Re: XnViewMP issues on Mac
When you are in the browser mode in XnView and selecting one of the image (or more), you press command + delete. It will prompt you "Are you sure you want to delete these x item(s)?". Default selection is "No" button. I have no way to press any keys in the keyboard to move to the "Yes" button except triggered by mouse click.xnview wrote:could you describe your issue and how to reproduce it? on Mac?keepscoding wrote:Any update? i've the same issue can't use keyboard to select "Yes".
I guess by convention it should be use tab key to move from "No" button to "Yes" button.
