XnView Software

The switching sheme of the shortcut [F11] for toggling "full screen mode" behaves differently compared to XnView. In XnViewMP [F11] switches between the browser and full screen, and only when in the Viewer [F11] switches between Viewer and full screen. In classic XnView [F11] also switches between browser and full screen, but when in full screen or viewer, [F11] switches just between these two.

Additional [F11] issue in XnViewMP: When the browser list either is completely empty or when a subfolder is highlighted, pressing [F11] toggles an all black full screen which cannot be exited with [F11] anymore, instead one needs to press [ESC] or [Alt+F4].

right

Hello Pierre,

thank you for reviewing my post. Please find below a comparison of XnView Classic/XnView MP F11 behaviour.

1.
XnView Classic: In browser view, with an image highlighted in the file window, pressing F11 cycles between browser and full screen view of the highlighted image.
XnView MP      : same

2.
XnView Classic: Viewing an image in viewer mode, pressing F11 cycles between full screen view and viewer mode.
XnView MP      : same

3.
XnView Classic: Viewing an image in fullscreen mode, pressing F11 cycles between viewer mode and full screen view.
XnView MP      : Viewing an image in fullscreen mode, pressing F11 cycles between browser mode and full screen view.

For No. 3, I would expect (and prefer) XnView MP to behave just like XnView Classic. If the different F11 behaviour is by design, I'd welcome an option to enable XnView Classic F11 mode.

I have the same behavior (cycle beween viewer & fullscreen mode)
By viewing in fullscreen, you means start XnViewMP with a file from windows explorer?

No, I mean entering fullscreen view from the browser mode.

i start XnViewMP, open a file from browser -> view mode, press F11 -> fullscreen, press F11 -> view normal, you have not that?

No, I don't have that, because I configured the interface switching modes differently to the default settings:

Use double click to switch between: Browser -> Fullscreen -> Viewer
Use middle click to switch between: Do nothing
Use ENTER to switch between: Browser -> Fullscreen -> Viewer

Might that be the root cause for the different behaviour? That would be strange because I use the same interface switching setup in XnView Classic.

how do you open the file??
always correct, please send me your xnview.ini?

I open the file from XnView MP's browser pane with the ENTER key.
I attached my ini-file to a different post regarding the Refresh (F5) issue: http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.p ... 49#p132749

ok, so with ENTER you are in fullscreen but always in browser mode, a view tab is not opened.
I need to add 'Browser>Fullscreen (view mode)>Viewer'
