I have my images seperated in subfolders per holiday and I am often viewing my images in fullscreen, going forth and back through my image list with the cursor keys.
Now it often happens that I want to swap into the next subfolder to see the next set of pictures. I have to leave the viewer, change the directory and start the viewer again. A <next directory>/<previous directory>-key (probably a cursor combined with a mode key) would be great for me

Perhaps an option at the end of file list to ask if you want to browse subfolder?
That's not bad, but I also often want to change the subfolder when I am in the middle of my filelist, after I feel that the images of the current folder are too boring.

So a hotkey or menu item to call a dialog box to change current folder?
That would be nice. It sounds faster than my favorite key sequence, which currently is:
Return (change to browser)
Shift-Tab (set focus to folder tree)
Down (change folder)
Tab, Tab (set focus back to directory view)
Down (select first image)
Return (restart the viewer)
What about an option to actually show Folders and Parent folder ("..") directly in the Viewer to allow navigation? (you wouldn't need to switch to Browser, and folders would be only a "home" key away...)

PS: it has already been suggested in another thread, but more feedback would be interesting here...
"Next folder" similar to "Next file" and "Next page". Thats a good solution. I would appreciate that button in my toolbar. (The next thing would be to have configurable Hot-Keys for the toolbar buttons in fullscreen mode )

Thanx for the nice collection. I tried a few of them and found some interesting implementations. I am actually not a comic fan, but I was wondering, why I could not find a "Next Chapter" button in those readers that I tried . So I was back at the beginning and I actually don't want to replace XnView .
The problem is that you need to go to - previous, next, parent and sub - folder, you can't control it all with only two buttons/hotkeys prev./next folder. Therefore...

I strongly support this solution!
(Parent folder ("..") could be first and also last item)
Another suggestion - more folders could be shown for better orientation, like this:

Hello ! 
Unfortunately, it isn't possible (pratically) to add buttons currently, like this is explained in the "Example" paragraph there.
Kind regards,
