// XnView easy improvements that make difference //

Post by peil »

Hi,

I know xnview for many years but i used picasa until now for practice reasons.

So i have some few improvements i' d like to give to make xnview definitively the best image viewer.

_First, some littles ideas from picasa to make easy the transition for non xnview users :

_when opening an image, we see xnview browser running, then the full screen window appear.
the full screen should be the first and the browser not visible until we open it.

_then, if i want to close the image , i have to double click on the image to close xnview full screen then close the xnview browser : too much manipulations to see a simple image !
So it would be cool if you add a close big "X" close button, in full screen that close immediately the viewer, without seeing the browser.

_for the navigation the mouse wheel should be reserved to zoom/dezoom only (because it is the shortuct used in all other app so it is a better way to make xnview easy to use..
the left click should be use for pannig like almost all other programs.
and the right click for selection and menu as it is already the case (no need to use both right and left for selection beside).
BUT mouse wheel can be use to scroll images when the mouse is on the top of the screen, on the miniatures list.

_by the way, the mouse on the top that make appears the list of image in the same folder and on the right for display infos, that is great. I would be cool to have a ui with black semi transparent panels.
here is an example http://images.macworld.com/images/legac ... en_big.jpg

_the Qt interface is a very good choice. now, why not make that kind of ui when it's possible with qt http://miguelcobo.com/blog/wp-content/u ... e-view.png ?

Xnview is a really great software and i hope it will be even better. continue that way !

thank you for your response.

i saw you 're totally right sorry.

it would be good they are default but it s a detail.

i maintain a close button in full screen that completely close the app would be good

ans not to see the browser appearing when viewing in full screen would be cool too.

Still the most lacking feature is a good tactile response but it's maybe a bit complicate (or not pertinent) for our generous author. :D

One thing i do not understand under XNview MP, someone could maybe explain to me, is the automatic zoom when you left clic on the picture in fullscreen mode. It's exclusive to XNview MP...
