Possible to disable the breadcrumb view in new path bar?

Post by laurent45654 »

Since version 1.12.3, XnView displays the path as a breadcrumb, which means each individual path components are clickable.

The problem is that it means it's not longer possible to click on that bar to select and copy the path. I know I can click to the right of the path to do that but for long paths that's not possible at all, as in the below example:

And I personally have no use for this breadcrumb view, so I'm wondering if there's an option to disable it so that it always displays the path as text like before? Or if not, any chance an option could be added?

Right-clicking the bar now offers copying the path.

you have right click to open menu too.

you can disable it in xnview.ini

Code: Select all

[Browser]
UseBreadcrumb=false
