Opening images fullscreen from Explorer

[tbmmbt]

Say I have a Windows Explorer folder full of images open, when I double click on an image it opens in XnViewMP as a fullscreen image (which is what I want). But if I then double click a different image it now opens in XnViewMP in browser view but not fullscreen. Each image I click then alternates between Fullscreen and minimised Browser views. Is there a way to open as a fullscreen image every time I double click an image from Explorer (but still keeping Browser view in case I want to press Enter to view in browser mode)?

In settings I have:

General>Startup>Mode when starting with a file>Fullscreen - Browser

Just wondering if there's any possibility of this being fixed as it still happens to me every time I use the program. Thanks!

Hi, just asking again if there's any chance this issue can be fixed? I'll be happy to make a donation if you can fix it but I'll probably have to switch to another image viewer if it can't be fixed as it's quite frustrating when I'm editing lots of images. Thank you!

do you have always this problem?

do you have always this problem?

Just came here to see if there was any update on this issue and I only just noticed that you replied last year! Sorry I didn't see your reply.

Yes, I do still have this issue all the time. XnView MP is perfect for me apart from this one issue which is quite annoying!

So I double click on an image from Windows Explorer and it opens full screen in XnView MP. But when I double click on the next image it opens in browser view (and not fullscreen). It then keeps alternating between fullscreen and browser view each time I double click on a new image.

Every time there is an update I try it hoping that this has been fixed because otherwise it's a perfect image viewer for me! I'm happy to try any suggestions if you need any more info.

Thank you!

How did you manage to double click on the next image if the previous one is open fullscreen,
multiple monitors or you closed the application with ESC first?

I have multiple monitors (x3). Explorer is open on one screen and I click on images from a folder to open them on the other monitors.
