Can we have multiple browser windows?
Hi obelisk
This is one of the most long-lived requests on the forum. The utility of such a capability in XnView would be HUGE and unique to image tools, AFAIK.
Perhaps there is some difficulty for multiple instancing related to the internal implementation of the XnView Classic browser, but some of us had hoped that the from-the-ground-up development effort for MP would address this.
An internal architecture for instancing multiple browser tabs (based perhaps on the coding methods used for instancing multiple Compare tabs, Image tabs, etc.) could have been included "on the ground floor" for expansion to full functionality at some later time when the higher-priority basic MP functionality had been completed and released.
Maybe a generic/skeleton instancing class actually was implemented and is just hiding in MP, awaiting its use for multiple browser tabs sometime in the future. Pierre?
