XnViewMP issues on Mac

Post by ralfiii »

Hey!
I'm new to XnViewMP but quite skilled with software in general.
I just stumbled oder 2 issues that make life unnecessary hard on the mac:

1.) Keyboard unusable
Aber opening XnViewMP and navigating to a folder, I can use the arrow keys to navigate through pictures and videos.
When I open a picture by double clicking it, then closing this viewer, then XnViewMP does not react on keyboard keypresses. Instead a beep indicates that the keyboard was pressed, where it can't be used. (I also can't use other keybaord hotkeys in this state). I have to close XnViewMP and start it again to get the keyboard navigation working again.

2.) No keyboard actions in confirmation dialog
When an image is selected, and I want to delete it, I press the delete key (on the macbook air that is the fn + the backspace key).
Now a confirmation window pops up ("do you really want to..."). Possible actions are no and yes. "No" is preselected. I don't have ANY chance to select "Yes" using the keyboard. (the dialog doesn't react on arrow keys nor does it react when I press "Y" or so).
Not really a bug but a usability issue that would be extremely easy to fix.

Best regards,
Ralf S.

Btw: It's version 0.72

You open a picture in view mode from browser, and keyboard doesn't work anymore?

When you are in the browser mode in XnView and selecting one of the image (or more), you press command + delete. It will prompt you "Are you sure you want to delete these x item(s)?". Default selection is "No" button. I have no way to press any keys in the keyboard to move to the "Yes" button except triggered by mouse click.
I guess by convention it should be use tab key to move from "No" button to "Yes" button.
