[Fixed] RC3: Several Tabs for one image

As opposed to previous RC's when reopening/viewing the same image again
a new TAB is created, i.e. when constantly enter/dblclick on same image to switch
between viewer and browser every time a new TAB is created for same image.

When you view an image a TAB for the image is created. Now when you
enter on that same image again a second (additional) TAB is created and
so on... This is opposed to RC2 where there would'nt be several TABs for
the same image which makes more sense to me.

v.1.74 operates the same way, but without tabs. View mode is started each time you
select a photo. These seperate views can be selected by windows submenu. 'Only one
view opened' option can offer one image at a time use.
Several tabs for same image can be used to apply temporary effects to each view and
compare them. This can be useful. I don't remember RC2 acting differently.

Right, marsh. I also think that this is a feature and not a bug. With the option 'Only one view opened' you can even change the behaviour, if needed.
Perhaps the option ''Only one view opened'' should be activated by default?

That would mean only seeing 2 tabs maximum though.

Sorry but 1.74 has the same system (without TAB), and RC1/RC2 too

No, that's not the case. The option is named wrongly, it should be labeled "Only one view per image". When activated, XnView will make sure that each image is opened only once - exactly what you want.
So we really should rename this option - and perhaps activate it per default.

It operates as named for me (one for browser, one for view).

Right - wrong option. The option you need is in category "General" and it's name is "Open a window per picture".
This is the option I meant and which should be activated by default.

That does'nt work as expected either. With "General\
Open a window per Picture" enabled
no additional TABs are created anymore, only one TAB is visible which represents either the
Browser or the viewed image.
So whe need an option
Only one TAB per Image plus maybe the ability to create a copy
of a TAB on user demand via TAB-rightclick menu.

What does that mean? I don't understand, could you please explain.

No need for another option. We simply have to make the existing ones working properly. I've checked, the option 'One view per image' is broken. I'll post a bug report, here.

Both of you make line feeds (line breaks) at the end of the text field, even if the sentence/paragraph is not finished. When viewing your texts in a large browser window, this looks a bit unusual. Not a big problem..

Ah, ok, understood. I'm also using a large desktop resolution (1280x1024) and i find it quiet difficult to read long sentences as they do appear on a large display hence i'm trying to add some readability. If you think i should'nt waste my time with that please let me know, i'm always open to opinions.
(does this post look more pleasant to everybodys eyes?)

I'm afraid the latter, only.

I understand - I've got a 1280x1024, too. I simply make my window as wide as I want and voilà. If you use line feeds, you don't give people a chance to decide. Not sure what is better, I prefer having the normal line feeds for paragraphs, only.
