Back button to previously visited folder

Post by Dret »

Hi to all...!! :)

I would like to purpose another little but useful thing to add: A "Back" button to previously visited folder to enhance the workflow...

It could be placed near the "One level Up" button...!!

Thanks...!!

Bye.

In XnView 1.90 you have such a Back button, already. It's the two arrows to the very left in the small toolbar:

You can either use these buttons or simply press "Backspace".

Excuse me but I don't have the buttons you show me in your image, as you see here:

Image

I tried to set new button in the Toolbar Options but I found only a "Next/Previuos File (and not folder)" for the Viewer and not for the Browser... :|

How can I add them?? And futher: how can I Add/Remove/Modify functions in that particular area of Browser (indicated by the circle in the image above beside the address form)..?? I found only possibility to set the upper line of icons/functions indicated in the Toolbar options as "Browser"...

Thanks!!

Updated skin

Post by Clo »

:) Hello !

• The skin you are using is not updated.

• You could test either with the default one - Like helmut shows above -
or with a skin of mine i.e. Mus_Musculus) available in this package

• Also, please read the description of the skins features in our Manual
(might be added in the official Help soon too…) HERE ONLINE.

• You are welcome !

• Glad to hear that you solved the issue…
…I was continusly looking for the right option to set them... …
- In fact, the option exists : only choose an updated skin ! :P
- Mine are made either for kids (I'm a very old one), or for fun, or for tests, I'm not a professional designer…
- However, I provide extra-icons matching with each skin for some ones (not all yet, I miss time, sorry…)

:mrgreen: Kind regards,
Claude

I would like to update the "Old" skin I used since now and make a new one(later!).

It's possible to have the original default skin images of Xnview (to use it as a background map) to easily "Overdraw" the elements in the right positions?

Thanks!! :D

• Whether you follow the instructions from the page linked above, you'll be able to update let's say,
only the small browser tool-bar bitmap <browser.bmp>.
- You don't need to get the default skin, moreover it's embedded in the programme and not accessible (normally…)
- In my package, there is a <Template_32> skin quite convenient to use as a background to draw a personal skin.
¤ Indeed, if the 32² size fits your needs…

While you are answering me I'was trying to update "Mezich Skin" using your tutorial.
This is the result (now the Folder Navigator Buttons Appear in the right way)... Would you like to Test It...??!! :wink:

ZIP IS HERE!

Thanks for Help, Clo...!! As soon as possible I'll prepare a new one based on my favorite Opera and Thunderbird skin...!! :idea:

Hi..!! :mrgreen:

It's not good to have incomplete skins and thus limited user interface.

@Pierre: Could you please (re-)contact the skin designers and ask them for updated skins?
