XnView Software

When I open a file associated with XnViewMP from any program (e.g. Explorer) and there is no already running instance of XnViewMP, a new viewer window opens. In this window the title of the only tab is focused, and pressing Enter doesn't switch to browser mode as expected. However, after I press Tab or click anywhere in the viewer window, Enter key works fine and keeps working until this instance of XnViewMP is closed.

See Issue 205 for current status and details.

Thanks for the updated version, but unfortunately, this issue is not fixed in version 0.66
If I open an image file with XNViewMP from any file manager, Enter doesn't work in the viewer window until I press Tab or use any keyboard shortcut (e.g. pressing Shift+C to bring up resize dialog and immediately closing it with Escape does the trick) or click on the image.

Do you have problem with arrow key too??

Arrow keys do not work either until I click on the image or press Tab.

i can't reproduce on Win 7 x64 Enter & arrow keys work
could you send me your xnview.ini?

xnview.ini is attached (I just emtpied recent files & folder history entries). It should be actually quite basic, I didn't change much in settings.

To make everything absolutely clear, I describe the steps to reproduce the problem in detail once again:
1. I open a folder with many image files in Windows Explorer. No instance of XNViewMP is already running at this moment.
2. I double-click any file, XNViewMP viewer window appears.
3. I press Enter - nothing happens (expected - switching to browser mode).
4. I press PgUp/PgDown - the next/previous file is shown, but Enter doesn't work after doing this too.
5. I press numeric + - the image is zoomed in, but the arrow keys do not move the visible part of the image as expected.

To make everything work as expected again, ANY of the following actions help:
a) pressing Tab;
b) clicking anywhere on the image;
c) just switching to another application and back to XNViewMP.

Yes.

ok, i can reproduce with your ini... arrow keys + enter/return doesn't work

i've sent you a PM

I've answered in PM.

But after a while, I've also found the setting which changes the behavior of XNViewMP to the expected! if i set "Single view for multi-opened files" option in Settings->Interface - everything works OK! If I unset this option - the problem reappears.

you don't have XnViewMP already opened when you double click on a picture file??

No. If another instance of XNViewMP is already running, there is no problem with any settings.
