Autopreview first file in folder ?

Post by hman »

I'd like an option where at folder change the Browser preview automatically shows the first file (in current order) without the need to click on it (or tab tab downarrow or wathever).

What do you think ?

IIRC that's the way it used to be. But that made browsing very slow depending on what kind of file comes first. So i like it better the way it is.
Get the bugs fixed, THEN start adding features. It sucks, but someone has to do it.

Oh. I didn't know that, I'm new to xnview.

That's why it should be an option. Even better if triggerable from the toolbar.

It shouldn't slow things if the preview is done at the end and is on interruptible thread (I believe half the work is already done... :P ).

Heh. I did a in the forum search but I didn't go back that much :(
Well now at least two of us are asking for this, that should increment the probability of getting the feature of a 0.0000x% :)
