XnView Software

I have a more than one question,

but the most pressing one is that when I am attempting to view pictures and animations in XnView that are all in one folder it seems that XnView, most of the time, randomly picks images to view when I try to scroll through them after opening one. When I look at the folder in Windows Explorer, I expect that I will view the images / animations / whatever in the logical order that the folder has them in, but, instead, I open one gif and when I try to move to the next gif the program skips to some random jpg or png somewhere way off instead of one of the next 20 gifs. Did I mess up some setting somewhere? Is this a known issue? Can it be fixed?
This happens with regular image files as well. Sometimes it views the next image correctly.

My next question is if I could somehow set XnView to not open anything besides images and things like gifs? I discovered that scrolling through my Desktop in XnView, the program would open the .mkv file I have there. Tampering with the settings did not seem to stop that from happening.

Thanks.

which sort do you have in browser?

Right click empty space on thumbnail screen, sort files by type.
Keep in mind that 2.05 does not correctly sort all files by type.

To make images sort properly as you scroll through so you don't get video files try this.
PRESS ENTER
Then
PRESS ENTER AGAIN.

If you open an image in xnview using windows explorer you will see the image. But nothing will be sorted yet.
By going to the thumbnail screen it will put the files in order (sort of) and exclude video's as you scroll through the images.
Let me know if that works for you.
This is something they need to fix in the next update...
