Can XnView skip specific files?

[deaded]

I have a 'temp' folder that I drag stuff into so I can sort it later. When I use XnView to view images in that folder and it comes upon a text file it shows the text file and I can't use the mouse wheel to scroll to the next image. Is there a way I can get XnView to ignore certain files such as *.txt? I've been searching the setting and the forum but can't find that option.

with 1.5.5?

Yes, with 1.5.5. I can advance forward past a text file with the space bar to view the following photo but I can't use the arrow keys or the mouse wheel to do the same. I had tried XnView a couple of years ago and don't remember having this issue. I recently started using it again but found this snag in my workflow. I believe I must have something set wrong but can't figure out what it is.

Have you reviewed your Tools > Settings > Interface > Keyboard and Mouse settings?

[deaded]

Thank you for your help here. Yes, I have tried those settings. I just checked them again and the up/down arrows as well as the scroll wheel are set to previous/next file. It's just that it gets stuck when it comes to a text file, only a space bar will allow it to proceed to the next file.

Is there a way to tell XnView not to process text files; have in not recognize *.txt or *.doc?

It typically doesn't. Not unless you set "filter by" to "all", or set the custom filter to include text files and use that.
By default, it doesn't show text files.

You can disable Text file in 'Settings>File list>Custom filter'

Yes! That's it!! Thank you!!

I unchecked the text boxes and that mostly worked. One text file was still showing up so I entered "txt" and "doc" and "docx" in the 'Exclude' row and now it's perfect!
