I want just another mode/layout with two file lists, two previews and file manager's hotkeys - Tab, F5 ,F6 and Insert/Space - other hotkeys works already in xnview (F2, F3, F4, F7, DEL, Shift+DEL...).
Code: Select all
+--------+---------+--------+---------+
| | | | |
| folder | preview | folder | preview |
| tree | | tree | |
| | | | |
+--------+---------+--------+---------+
| image1.jpg | image5.jpg |
| image2.jpg | image6.jpg |
| image3.jpg | image7.jpg |
| image4.jpg | image8.jpg |

This layout could have its own size/position.
I don't want any special file manager's features.
Main advantages:
- you could copy/move files easily as in file managers with F5/F6
- you could see preview of images you want copy/move (impossible in file managers)
- you could see details of several images in different folders at once
- no need to move and resize two instances of xnview and then move and resize back
- no need to switch between two instances of xnview (and other opened windows) with alt+tab
It would be the same as current "Tab" feature, just switching would be with Tab key and it would be in the same window.
Copy/Move F5/F6 features would be the same as current "Copy to/Move to" features, just target directory would be always directory in other file list on the other side.
I've got 1 suggestion - add second browser window, with ability to copy and move with drag&drop and hotkeys F5, F6 and Tab for change browser window like in Total Commander for example
It could be like this:
