Feature Requests

[vertigo]

Few suggestions/requests:

- When renaming, pressing left when the filename is highlighted (right after the dialog opens) should move the cursor to the beginning of the filename, like pressing home, as it does in most file managers. Not only would this be useful because it's what I'm accustomed to, but it's easier to quickly hit the arrow key vs the home key and, more importantly, I've trained myself to absolutely NOT use the home key because multiple times when doing so, I've accidentally done it when the rename dialog wasn't showing and jumped to the first file in the directory, which doesn't happen if using the arrow keys.

- Space can't be assigned as a shortcut key. I tried doing so and it does nothing, regardless of the setting under Interface > Keyboard, probably because having that option overrides anything set in Interface > Shortcuts. There should be an option there to use an assigned shortcut function.

- Ability to have multiple Browser tabs.

- Duplicate tab and Undo last closed tab(s) options.

- When setting it to dark theme then back to light, the tree in Browser stays dark until restarting the app. Also, even with dark theme the area outside the pictures on Viewer tabs is still light, defeating the purpose. Finally, the lack of contrast and the resulting flatness of the dark themes make them too difficult to use (visually unfriendly), so as much as I prefer dark themes, for this app I prefer, for the Browser tab, the light theme, but I'd still like to be able to have a dark theme for the Viewer tabs. This would require a) that it actually applies to those tabs which, as mentioned, it does not, and b) the ability to specify a separate theme for Browser vs Viewer(s).

- Ctrl+Tab should, at least optionally, switch between most recent tabs (like browsers) vs just cycling through them in order.

(ETA last bullet point)

Browser - filelist - rename - incorrect cursor position

- Ability to have multiple Browser tabs.

I figured out how to produce multiple Browser Tabs!!!

- Ctrl+Tab should, at least optionally, switch between most recent tabs (like browsers) vs just cycling through them in order.

standard actions for Ctrl+Tab/Shift+Ctrl+Tab (Tab/Shift+Tab) - cycle forward/backward through tabs (controls)

I often place watermarks manually on images

- watermark placement has been changed as it shows a grid which doesn't give a good preview impression. Please make the grid optional
- Add Undo for rezising changes. It is not obvious that aspect ration is not kept when resizing the watermark. No undo available. whole action must be cancelled and restarted.
- Use previous watermark/sizing by default. I would assume most people regularily use same watermarks. Optionally offer presets or history of last 5 settings please.
- double click is being use to apply in many apps. XNview switches to browse mode, keeping the image in watermark mode open in the background. not obvious.
