How to lock the position of viewer while switching images

Hi, I hope to lock the position & scale especially when I want to compare large scale images.
There's such feature in FSViewer. But I prefer XnView now because of its performance.
So is there any way to keep the image position when I switch to the next image?
For example, if I'm examining (232,434) of current image (size: 1280*800), then I hope to locate (232,434) as well when I click "next file".
Thanks.

Do you have tried to uncheck Option/View>Reset X/Y

Yes. But it seems that the next image will be put in the center no matter where the current image is.

If you use 'Lock zoom', the position will be locked too

Thanks! It works now.
I thought there was an option 'Lock zoom'. Finally I get this from context menu.

Activating/Deactivating lock zoom there is menu item 'View > Lock zoom', the context menu 'Lock zoom' or the short cut Ctrl + NumPad /.

Unfortunately "Option/View>Reset X/Y" is not available when Zoom is set to "Fit to desktop" which is a pity. I understand that this mode makes the size of the window change but it always jumps back to the center of the desktop. I wish it was top-left instead - leaving some room for other windows.

Any chance to get this behaviour?

Kind regards

Hello,

I must have missed something, it does not work : with zoom locked at 100%, the next image is shown at the top left corner ...

I still do not understand how to have the zoom 100% working like in XnView, that is the X/Y position is the same when you change the viewed picture.

The setting "Reset X/Y (Not fit)" as no effect : checked or unchecked, when you switch pictures, you always see the top left corner of the image, no matter what portion of the previous image you were looking at.
