XnView Software

XnView has a list of commands that you can assign to custom buttons. But the command list is quite limited. It would be very much the wonderful thing if *EVERY* command was listed like in Total Commander.

For instance, how about using the command for View_Show_Files_in_Subfolders ??
or enable/disable_thumbnail_Caching?

OR! how about creating custom commands using file parameters so that you can create a button (like in Total Commander) that will open the browser window to a particular folder location?

So many wonderful customizations are possible this way!
God bless you all and all your work! I love XnView!

Dear Brother, good evening,

• As a Total Commander old user, translator (and Mod of its forum, etc.) I agree indeed…
… but if you'ld have performed a Search here, you'ld have found this old thread about a COMMANDS MANAGER.

• In XnView, the issue is a bit more complicated than for the Command Browser of TC,
because the three view modes using buttons, each mode allowing only some commands…

…so that you can create a button (like in Total Commander) that will open the browser window to a particular folder location?

• I requested simply the CD <Directory> old good DOS command to use in¦to the browser from a button…
It doesn't work still…
- It should be simpler than to rummage in the Favourites menu¦list…

¤ Note :
- I didn't complete the mock-up shown in the linked thread above because I never got any feed-back
from Pierre, even in the French similar thread…
- We might get at least a text file <commands.INC> like the TC's one…

Kind regards,
Claude

Dear Mr. Claude,

Thanks for the link: I never thought of searching for "commands" - I just browsed the list by sight...

I appreciate the link and the explanations. I also appreciate the mannered courtesy!

Total Commander really did something great with the command list (I tried it for evaluation, but prefer FreeCommander because of its closer similarity and familiarity and cooperation with Windows Explorer, but that is neither here nor there...) But I find the command list + custom button combination to be so powerful that I wish it was in every program I use!

It's too bad your other post on the Command is dated to 2007! Is there much hope, do you think? I wish I could help. Really, I have tried every graphic browser out there (for free, excepting Adobe Bridge which came with Indesign) and I prefer XnView to them all. The closest runner up, I think is FastStone (but again, neither here nor there...). Is there anything I can do?
