Viewer - context menu - group into 'Navigate to'

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.4.5 64bit
Windows11 (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%


Viewer - context menu
prev/next/.. file items take up too much space, but are not important enough to be at the root level.
I really doubt someone clicks on them rather than using shortcuts.

Suggestion
- rename File to 'Navigate to'
- group File and Page items into 'Navigate to' group

I agree this shorter menu is much more clear and straight forward than so many items displayed at once.

However perhaps good approach would be to give users option to create their own menu items that has sub menus.

Currently we have item --SEPARATOR--, if you add similar --SUMBMENU START-- and --SUMBMENU END-- items and then we can have own own sub menus, The first item within this "tags" would be the

Navigate to...
--SUMBMENU START--
Next file
Previous file
First File
Last file
Random File
--SUMBMENU END--

Only question is how to add the name "Navigate to" to menu item that opens sub menu.

tbh, I've never experienced an urge to customize context menu/toolbar myself :D
but if go this path, I think microsoft's approach is better (explicit buttons for group/separator and tree structure)

anyway, its better to create separate post for "add Custom folder functionality in context menu" request

just realized that Preview in Browser has its own context menu
this grouping has to be done there as well
Browser - Preview context menu - group into 'Navigate to'
