Opening a picture through a file manager does not give access to the menu

Post by claudaki »

Hi
Open a picture trough a file manager does not give access to the menu of Xnview
I tried with Cx File Explorer or the file manager of Hyperos 2.0.208.0 on POCO M6 PRO

I confirm. There are no menus on my both phones. Although the question arises whether this menu should be there. After all, isn't that what the XnView app is for? Even though I asked this question, I don't care. If it is possible to activate the menu, it certainly won't hurt.

I tested the same thing on Samsung S23 and the "send to" and "open with" function in solid explorer (file manager) open the picture in XnView.
It is impossible to see or go to the main menu of xnview. I think this kind of behaviour is normal for all picture viewer apps.

It really depends on the file manager used. Unsure we can (we should?) Test and validate all and every app, whoever built it, whatever dev kit, compatibility level....

File Commander (MobiSystems) Ok
Samsung My Files Ok
