Browser - favourites - fix favShowFiles flag

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.5.0
Windows11 (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, dpi scale 150%


Browser - favourites
its possible to show subfolders via favShowFiles=true flag in xnview.ini
however, it is inconvenient and naming is confusing


Suggestion A
  • fix flag name, either:
    - rename it to favShowSubfolders OR
    - add new favShowSubfolders flag and ingnore old one

Suggestion B
  • add GUI settings to change this flag, via
    • new group in Settings OR
    • (preferable) new item in context menu on empty space
      Image

Suggestion C
  • add "Sort by name" to the same context menu (same as in XnView Classic)
