Looking for right preferences

Post by Marko »

hello guys,

i´m looking for preferences.
If i double click a picture file (in email or windows explorer, it doesn´t matter) xnview starts in a view which i don´t want.
A picture is open in the front (not really the picture, which i selected, but the first pic in the same folder). The main window is in the back, only viewable in the taskbar.
Whick tick(s) i have to do, that i can see the selected picture in the Front with the same view if i start xnview first and then select a picture in the browser. In this view i can cut or rotate the picture or whatever.

Thank´s for your help.

Kind Regards

Marko

hello,

the version is the newest 1.91.1 (Lib Version 4.79) and the General/startup preferences are:

mark at "Launch Browser at startup"
Startup directory "last used"
not mark at "Maximize XnView at startup"
Mode when starting with a file "Fullscreen Browser"

Thanks

Marko

hello,

no, that´s not right. If i dbl-click on an file then xnview is opened in a pic, but not really the right one ....
For example: There are 10 pics in a Folder A.jpg till J.jpg. If i dbl-click on D.jpg for example then xnview starts with A.jpg from same folder and i only can click on the opened pic, then xnview is switch to the next in the row (B.jpg).
This properties i have on several workstations in the local network., but not at all. I try to compare the preferences but can´t find the difference. :?

Thanks for help

regards

So .... i uninstalled the 1.91.1 and then installed 1.91.2.
I found out, that not really all files name extentions are concerned. If i open a *.jpg it is ok. If i open a *.psd for example i have the problem that i described above.
So i make a mistake in my describtion sorry .....

Is there any solution for my Prob ??
