Options > Toolbar 'Default' should become 'Basic'

For each of the modes available in XnView a toolbar can be set in the options, now (Tools > Options > Interface > Toolbar).

Currently, XnView's modes are listed
- Default
- View
- Browser

The term "Default" seems confusing to me. There's a name clash with "Reset to default". And what is the mode "Default" in XnView? In the English Help document, the term is Basic mode (if no browser and no view is opened).

I'd prefer to rename "Default" to "Basic", it would be then:
- Basic
- View
- Browser

Second, I'd like to see the order changed, "Broswer" should be listed before "View". (Typically, the browser opens the View mode.) All in all it would be then:
- Basic
- Browser
- View

Thank you, ckit, for your feedback and support.

But why not change this in 1.90? This is just a naming which should be changeable easily and without any side effects. I think this should be changed a.s.a.p..

It's good to make minor changes, only, since the release candidates should be available, soon. But I would have thought that changing the position of screen elements has minimal impact.

Not fixed in RC1. This is a minor issue, only. -> Postponed.
