It would help a great deal for this (ie: immediate response/display when navigating through images)
OK, scenario:
You select image in Browser and press F11. XnView starts rendering thread, main thread opens fullscreen. Now comes interrupt action (like Space for skip to next image). XnView displays some part that is already rendered, rendering thread starts to render next image. That is what you want, right? I suppose it is good for slower computers/bigger images?
Interestingly, some people want something yet another, delay skip until full image is displayed.

Xyzzy if you have many pics in a folder like 50 try it for yourself with the mouse scroll... scroll from one pic to the next it will give you a delay in moving to the next pic. I can scroll faster then the apps responce. If you do that same thing in ACDsee (any version) it's transition from one pic to the next there is no delay
ACDSee 8 (whole SEVEN days of trial, what a generosity) shits itself when trying to skip images with wheel. I scroll wheel 7-8 notches, I get 1-3 image skips. In XnView I get that exact number of skips, and it's FAST! Bravo!
ACDSee fullscreen skipping between images (default settings) is faster ONLY when all image quality settings are ON in XnView AND delaying full quality display is OFF.
So your request seems to be simply faster rendring of images in high quality, right?
EDIT: Does anybody notice difference with browsing when thumbnail cache is turned on/off?
X.
ACDsee is pretty much crap now but I do use it for testing and suggestions to make this a even better app (if they chose to add it in)
Anyway full screen scrolling or when I launch a pic I like to scroll through the pics (if I need to) one at a time and sometimes I want to fly by a bunch of pics so I scroll faster to move through the pics at a quicker pace. Well when I do this is hestitates, this is what I see maybe it's my system but it seems like Xnview
Maybe it's a bug and maybe it's not, in the end if it was fix or added in that would be cool. If not then I will need to deal with it

OK, I think I've got it now. You don't like it when you fast-skip (like with mouse wheel) and XnView jumps straight to final image (this is the hesitation you got- XnView doesn't bother to display partially rendered images). You would prefer seeing at least partial intermediate images.
OK, I would say it is not a bug in XnView but rather user preference.
I've made s Suggestion for it ( http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?p=22981#22981 ), please support it!
NO no no, not sure how to explain it better. I am not talking about jumping ahead at anything. I am talking about scrolling through a set of images and while I am doing this to get to a certain point in the set of images xnview does't seem move from image to image in a smooth fasion. Ever see the smooth scroll feature in IE or Firefox or any browser ??? Well in ACDsee it is similar to that. I know there is a different in the way it moves through files just hard to show what I mean. It maybe be something I can never explain and then something I will have to live with.
It's just something I noticed moving from acdsee to xnview
I've added in the above link also request for faster image-to-image skipping from current image to image already completely decoded by read-ahead/keep behind features.
After testing ACDSee8 a bit I don't see any more possible suggestions.
