Open with xnview.exe -full

Post by marsh »

I opened another instance of viewer using the context menu. When 3 highlighted files were used in 'open with', only the first and last became available, and not the one in the middle:

Add XnView to the context menu's 'Open With>Add Program' function.
General>Operations>[ ]One instance
*Edit ini file to read xnview.exe -full
(not using -full switch worked fine)

Only from XnView, by adding xnview.exe to its own browser context menu. Would this have same effect as launching from another program?

You use 'Open With' and XnView in XnView?

Yes for this test, but not normally used that way (I had no other windows program to start from).

Using the '-full' command and 'open with' on multiple images at same time, not all were displayed when navigating to the next image. The chosen images were displayed alright when not using '-full'.

Settings: [ ]Only one instance; [x]Only one window view opened;[x]Open only one view for multiple files

I highlighted three jpegs in browser (in the middle of a directory with a dozen).
- Then I used open with.

Code: Select all

[OpenWith]
OpenWith_0=D:\xnview\xnview.exe
OpenWith_1=
-The result was that selected images were displayed normally. Going to next image using <pg down> showed file index as 1/3, then 2/3, 3/3.

But when I used this setting:

Code: Select all

[OpenWith]
OpenWith_0=D:\xnview\xnview.exe -full
OpenWith_1=
-File index shown went from 1/3 directly to 3/3 when going to next file. The middle image, 2/3 was not displayed.

Ok, you must not add parameter like that, but

Code: Select all

[OpenWith]
OpenWith_0=D:\xnview\xnview.exe
Param_0=-full

That change fixes it. Thanks.
