Fullscreen on a Tablet issues
Posted: Tue Dec 23, 2014 1:49 pm
I have an ASUS T100 Transformer Book Windows tablet with keyboard dock. When docked, the system becomes a small notebook and XnView works perfectly.
However, when the tablet is used alone some usability issues appear. The main one is in the Fullscreen mode. In this mode, picture viewing depends on the following Options setting:
Options/View/Fullscreen/Enable navigation with left and right mouse button
1) When disabled, viewing pictures works but is rather tedious: in order to display the next or the previous picture it is necessary to make a long press on the display (right click equivalent), enter the menu, and short press (left click equivalent) on the "Next" or the "Previous" item.
2) When enabled, in order to display the next picture it is necessary to make a long press while, to display the previous one, a short press is required. This is akward since Next is used much more often than Previous. Moreover, using this setting it is impossible to display the Menu so that the Zoom command, for example, canot be accessed. This is a real problem.
I suggest as possible solution to these issues to modify the workings of the Options/View/Fullscreen/Enable navigation with left and right mouse button setting.
When enabled, the left mouse click (short press on a tablet) should advance to the next picture. As for the right click (long press) it should display the Menu.
In this way, the fastest command would correspond to the most used action while the slowest one would allow to execute all the other actions.
