XnView Software

This looks to be just what I am looking for, just a couple things I cant find

1 Is there a single key to delete an image when in either "browser or Viewer" if not can a key be configured please. The delete key on my wireless keyboard does not delete.

2 Is there a way to click and hold the mouse or track pad to zoom to 100% and then return to original view. or can a key be configured



I am, sorry if this has been asked before , I have tried finding answers on the forum

Regards Jeremy

I have partly answered my own question about the delete key. I have connected a second keyboard and the delete key now works in browser mode , however not in view mode. I would still like any information that people have.

I should mention that I was using the Apple wireless keyboard.

2 Is there a way to click and hold the mouse or track pad to zoom to 100% and then return to original view. or can a key be configured

In Xnview MP v0.61,
if you change the left button to "Move picture"
in Tools > Settings > Keyboard/Mouse.

Zoom out so that the image has a zoom level less than 100%,
if the left mouse button is held down the image will stay zoomed at 100%.

If the image now extends outside the xnview window,
and you move the mouse, then the image will move (pan) with the mouse.

When you release the mouse the image will return to it's previous zoom level.

It also works when zoomed in, but only if the image
does not extend past the viewable area of the window.

One thing to take note of is a bug that cancels this "feature" for
the image that's currrently open,
it occurs if the cropbar is opened and closed.

The cropbar is opened when there is no selection on the image and one
chooses the Edit > Crop menu entry or
if the crop button on the toolbar is pressed.

When the zoom feature stops working, it doesn't seam to be anyway of
getting it working again in the same tab,
it's best to just close the tab and open a new one.


This might be an accidental feature,
because it only works when the left button is set to "move picture",
it doesn't happen when the middle or right buttons are set to "move picture",
if this is implemented as a feature for any button,
then it should probably be a as an option one can turn on and off in the preferences.
