XnView Software

Dear Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet!

My father didn't manage to send pictures by email in XnView, because XnView didn't change the window to the standard email program it uses. He thought, that nothing happend. This happens, if the email program hasn't been startet yet. If the email program is already running, the windows change (tested with Thunderbird).
Ok, my father is very old and doesn't manage many things on the computer, but I have the opinion, that XnView should change windows in any case, because, to send pictures by email is a procedure, that is not completed, if XnView is ready with it, because the email programm waits for the user to click on the send button. This means, that to 99% the user wants to change to the email program window, after he clicked on the OK-button in XnView. It doesn't make sense, that the XnView window stays in the foreground.
If it is not possible for XnView to control the window of the standard email program, XnView could simply minimize its own window and the email program window would be automatically in front. If the user closes the email-compose-window, XnView would be automatically in foreground again.

What do you think about that?

Yours sincerely

you means that XnView must not have its own dialog to send mail, but the classic window mail from tbird?

No. It's totally ok, that XnView has its own dialogue. But because of the fact, that the whole process hasn't ended if the user presses the OK-Button in the XnView dialogue and now to 99% wants to switch to his email program where XnView composed the email, XnView should change windows for the user.

sorry but i don't understand...

Sorry for my late answer, I was on vacation last week.

If you compose an email in XnView and press the OK button, XnView starts Thunderbird and composes the email there. But XnView doesn't put the Thunderbird window to the foreground. And because of that, the user doesn't realize, that XnView composed the email in Thunderbird and so Thunderbird waits and waits and waits for the user to press the send button in Thunderbird.
