Dual monitor startup

Post by Sladi »

Hi!
I'd like to have an option to start Xnview with the browser view when opening a file.
Having two monitors the combined into a wide resolution (3200*1200) the pictures get centred in the middle where the display bezels are in the current full-screen and normal start-up modes.

Good luck!

Do you have tried option/General/Mode - 'Fullscreen browser'??

On the bottom of General/Mode: "Mode when starting with a file"

That happens when I use the maximize at startup option.

When I use it it's ok to start Xnview maximized showing the browser. However when I load a file from Windows explorer Xnview either shouldn't be maximized (I can't find an option for this) or it should start maximized in browser mode. Otherwise Xnview opens the file in full-screen and it's centred between both displays. None of the three options work.

This is because I set my graphics card to use one big resolution instead of two independent. This is necessary for 3D applications like Blender.

Also I need a maximized Xnview because it loses my browser layout when I change the window-size.
