I wonder how useful the following options are. Does the new "tabs feature" make them obsolete?
'Use different position/size for browser & view'-? required for following (Currently not working.):
Fit image to desktop, all-?
Fit image to desktop, large only-?
Fit window to image-?

Re: Do Tabs make some view options obsolete?

OK. :) Perhaps this explanation of these options could be edited for FAQ section.

Example:

Auto Image Size options (what to expect from them):

'Fit image to window, large only'- shrinks image to best fit window/screen
'Fit image to window, all'- expands or shrinks image to best fit window/screen.
-Xnview best fits small images by centering them on window/screen.

'Fit image to window width'- expands or shrinks image to meet left and right of window/screen.
'Fit image to window height'- expands or shrinks image to meet top and bottom of window/screen.

'Fit image to desktop, all'- expands or shrinks image and viewer to best fit edges of desktop.
'Fit image to desktop, large only'- only shrinks large image and viewer to best fit edges of desktop.
-Xnview best fits viewer on screen by centering it first.

'Fit window to image'- expands or shrinks window to meet image. Multiple unmaximized windows can be displayed and arranged.
'Force Xnview to fit image'- It will match global window to size of image. It is positioned on center of screen.

-Related options:
'Maximize view when Open'- expands image to fill Xnview's workspace/desktop. Useful when only displaying one image at a time.
'Only one view opened'- unselect this to display multiple images at the same time.
'Use different position/size for browser & view'- is useful in preventing Xnview's browser from matching the viewer's size and position while using some 'Auto Image Size' settings.
'Folder Tabs'- can make switching between multiple images more convenient. It is disabled by going to browser menu and changing View>Folder Tabs.

I'm not quite sure what the first one does either. But the latter one snaps XNView to the size of the image being displayed (if it's smaller than the deskop resolution). Or was it the other one? :?
