XnView Software

Loads nice and fast, even with plugins. Tabbed view is a nice touch (never seen an image viewer with tabbed view before).

One thing with the tabbed view though, how do you scroll the tabs? ie If you open enough images so that one or more tabs get pushed off the side of the screen, how can you go back to those tabs without having to close the other images first?

Hello !

- I tried to fill the tab-header up to have tabs in excess. I got an expected couple of small arrow-buttons [<] [>] to scroll the header.
• However, it's possible that these buttons don't appear immediately. In that case, just click on the "empty" last location at right side, then the buttons will spring-up !

Aha! When the first couple tabs went off screen, the arrows appeared. However, once I opened a few more tabs, they vanished. They did reappear once I clicked the blank space though (only to disappear again when I opened another tab). Looks like there might be a minor bug with those arrows.

You can use also these shortcuts:

Next Tab - Ctrl+Tab, F8
Previous Tab - Ctrl+Shift+Tab

I found another minor bug here...

F8 key doesn't work when "Folder Tabs bar" is disabled.

Looks like there might be a minor bug with those arrows.

- I think so too… This is a new feature, maybe it needs to be polished up a few more…
- As an option, a wrapping to a second rank could solve the problem (partially), because it isn't usual to open a mountain of files like this -at least for me-. This needs a bug-fix, though.

Hello!

F8 key doesn't work when "Folder Tabs bar" is disabled.

? Seems to be logical… If there is no tab, you cannot choose one !

- Note : Shift+F8 works for the "Previous Tab"

Narrower tabs, or tabs that auto-adjust their width would be the best solution.
How many images you can open before the tabs go offscreen depends on your resolution settings. At 800x600, it only takes 3 or 4 to go offscreen.

Thank for hint

No, only "Tab bar" is disabled, not whole "Folder tabs" feature - and Ctrl+Tab shortcut works, so I still think it's a bug

I just noticed, the tabs are as wide as the filename dictates. If the file has a short name, the tab will be skinny. If the file has as long a name as the ones I was first experimenting with, it'll only take 3 to fill the screen.

Hello !
- The tab-lenght auto-adjustment is a globall Win feature, rather nice generally…

- In the case of a file-name in a tab, it's desirable to manage the file-names a bit… I mean : avoid the file-names in the style

- You might shorten this and add simply a comment for <descript.ion>, since XnView and other programs support the comment!
- You can limit the tab-caption @ n… characters too, that is a little annoying, but there also, a comment should help…
