Don't open already opened images in new tab

Post by ZileXa »

Don't open already opened images in new tab, instead, go to the tab with the image when user tries to open an already opened image (by doublecliking it in the browser or Explorer).


Hi,
I don't really like XnView since it supports tabs... just don't see the benefits. But I am sure it would be handy... just used to 2 views, browser and image.

No critics on Tabs here.

DO have one problem I hope this will be added as a standard option:
When image A, B, C, D and E are opened, and I doubleclick on image C in the browser or Windows Explorer, go to the opened tab with this image INSTEAD of opening a new tab..

Cos now a new tab opens and I've got the same image in 2 tabs :(


also.. it seems the 1.82.4 is little less stable (could be my pc)? just freezes after opening an image in Explorer, only sometimes.

Anyway still the best imageviewer!
