Start with browser on first and fullscreen on second

Post by Tim Sail »

I am happy user of dual monitor system and very like XnView. I used to view large images set with browser on my first monitor (cheap LCD and therefor not color calibrated) and the current picture on the second calibrated CRT in fullscreen.

It works well, but I confused how I can start XnView in such configuration by default? It seems that on start it always uses only the first monitor in browser or fullscreen mode depending on settings but not both. Is it way to make such config to work?

Fullscreen use second monitor if you have ''option/Browser/Dual monitor: use second monitor"

Great, I know this works, but I mean slight another behavior. Current version uses second monitor only after I switch on fullscreen explicitly (press F11 for example). Is it possible for XnView to use fullscreen by default, that is without any shortkeys or mouse clicks?

So when I start XnView without image file name in the command line I'll see browser on the first monitor, and when I'll select image in the browser it'll show in fullscreen on the second, but not in the preview pane as it happens nowadays. Moreover, when I start XnView WITH image file name on the command line I'll see browser on the first monitor and fullscreen image on the second.

Such behavior seems to me to be very useful.

Sorry for repeating question, I am afraid it get lost. Is it possible to implement in XnView such behavior as I wrote one post above? Or, perhaps, it may be implemented in future versions? Thanks.

So you want to use the browser with the preview in second monitor, right?
