saving search criteria/search favorites

Post by stax »

Hello,
although XnView has a huge feature set, some users always will miss some features, it's impossible to serve everybody. MediaMonkey addresses this by providing a extensive COM/WSH SDK. There are two minor things I miss:

1.) In order to easily find all wallpapers with a certain dimension I would like to request a feature to save search criteria, like how Agent Ransack does it, virtual folders in Thunderbird or AutoPlaylists in MediaMonkey.

For now I made a simple search, display detail view, sort for dimension, drag to a category, quite a few steps to perform all the time. Maybe there is a simple workaround or a simple way adding a solution. Sometimes it happened to me I thought adding a feature is gonna be hard or is not gonna be needed so I forget the idea and then all of the sudden I had a idea for a really simple or useful solution. At some time I'm hoping you'll have a scintillation on this issue :)

2.) Is it possible to show a image fullscreen when double-clicking a thumbnail?

many thanks,
Frank

Yes, a good feature...

Yes, option/keyboard/Switching mode

Thx, it seems the search in Vista which is also available for XP (Windows Desktop Search/Live Search) can also do it. MS got the query syntax right IMHO, my query is:

ext:jpg width:1024 height:768

works great, the query can be saved to the favorites :D
