How to open Browser directly in special system folder My Doc

[Guest]

Hi.
First of all, forgive my bad English.
I began to test this software this morning, and it will be my new images viewer.
Thanks for this great program.
But, I have a doubt, after looking in the newsgroup and my searches have no results.
I would like to know if I can open the program in the browser mode and the folder of my choice for starting would be selected like in the Windows Explorer.
My start folder is “D:\Meus documentos\Minhas imagens\” (corresponding to D:\My documents\My Pictures\), and when I open the browser the hole tree was opened (My computer\Local disk D:\ My documents\My Pictures\), example:

Code: Select all

But, in the Windows Explorer I can open any folder inside “My documents” from the special system folder showed in the tree pane, as I can see exactly the same way in the XnView, for example:

Code: Select all

(2) http://img66.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pic28bg.png

Even when I check the option “Show Desktop in Folder tree”, every time that I open the browser, the program don’t collapsed “My computer”, and open only (and directly the special system folder) “My documents\My Pictures\”.
Is there anything that I can change to make things smoother like in Windows Explorer style?
All that I have is inside “My documents” folder, so I wouldn’t like to open “My computer” and all other HDD and folder. The second image posted sounds better to me.

Thanks in advanced,
Leandro.

Hello !

First of all, forgive my bad English. …

- I saw worse…
- Aside, a pratical tip prior : to show images here, simply use the [ img ] image-address [ /img ] marker from the edition-box (I added spaces here to disable the marker)… So, the pics are displayed either fully directly from a classic server, or as a linked thumb-nail from image-hosts. Write the reference (1)… etc outside the marker. The "Code" marker deactivates the link !

- About your problem : "My Documents" is a virtual folder, though it's a real one too; however, this is planned in Windows for Windows, and external programmes have some issues to handle it in the same way than Win Explorer, some handles are not possible…

- Maybe Pierre could improve this, but handling the virtual folders is always ticklish.

Kind regards,
Claude

@ Clo,

Thanks very much for the answer!
And for the tip!
Well, I’ll wait to see if someday this functionality will be available in XnView, because, as I already said, this great program is now my favorite image viewer.
At despite that function, I loved this software.
Sorry my English again. I’m Brazilian and Babelfish doesn’t help me too much (3 hours to write a single post). Maybe, it is time to learn another language…

I’ll be praying for Pierre read this topic, and I’ll be dreaming with this “virtual folder” function.

Thanks again,
Leandro.

Hello !

Thanks very much for the answer!
And for the tip!

- You are welcome !

I’m Brazilian and Babelfish doesn’t help me too much … Maybe, it is time to learn another language…

- These kinds of automatic translations produce a pretty gibberish ! I avoid to use and especially to read the results (the worst is into French), because I don't wish to die prematurely by a huge laugh-crisis !
- Indeed, a "wildcard" language is handy… But you could learn French too, maybe easier for you, though astonishingly English is Latin-based by ~70% !
- The snag is “only” the remaining 30 % and the lunacy of this illogical and confusing (O ! A lot !) language…

I’ll be praying for Pierre read this topic, and I’ll be dreaming with this “virtual folder” function.

- I'll ask him for he gives a glance here But normally, he reads the most threads on this forum.

Kind regards,
