XnView Software

My left side pane in Xnview is very narrow. (This is where the Tree Pane and Preview Pane are.)

For some reason, I can't drag the separator bar with my mouse. When I hover the mouse across the separator bar, the cursor does not change to show me that I can drag the bar to make the pane bigger. Can anyone help?

Probably you happened to click on the small arrow in the middle of the resizer bar and thus have hidden the tree pane. Click on the small, light blue arrow in the middle of the left side '>' or use menu "View > Tree Pane > Show" or short cut Ctrl+Shift+F.

I doubt that "LockLayout" is the reason miffo's problem. Nevertheless very interesting links, XnTriq, I didn't even know that there's such a setting "LockLayout".
