Opening Xnview without previous files open

Post by Hans L »

When I open Xnview, I have the previously viewed file(s) in the main window. I thought there was a setting to prevent this (to have an empty window), but going through the entire Options, I either missed it or it is not there. I think I remember that there is a setting, though. Also, is there any way to paste an image from the Clipboard into Xnview?

Thanks,

Hans L

Edit » Import Clipboard (Ctrl+Shift+V)

There's also a command-line parameter:

Code: Select all

xnview.exe -clipaste
