XnView Software

Hello, I'm trying to set up custom keyboard shortcuts, but they don't work. For example I setup "f" for full screen and "Space" for Next file, but nothing happened. Default shortcuts continue working (F11 for full screen), but not new ones.

The shortcuts are divided by modes: Browser mode and View mode. From what I can see, you have specified shortcuts for Browser mode, i.e. these shortcuts will work in browser mode, only. Is this perhaps the problem?

You are right, thank you!

Wouldn't it be better if the Interface > Shortcuts design was similar to that for Interface > Toolbar, if that is possible?

+1 Yes, atm definining a shortcut for the wrong mode can happen very easily, which is no good.

Two years have passed, and the problem still remains. If you assign one button to a function, it DOES NOT WORK. If you assign a combination then WORKS. But I need exactly one button.

Any. For example, from the beginning I wanted to assign F3 to open the batch conversion dialog. Then to check that it really does not work, I changed the rename function from F2 to F3 and it did not work until I returned F2 by default.

F3/F4 are assigned to OpenWith, F12 About, F2 rename, F7 new folder, F5 refresh, F11 fullscreen and can't be changed

Why, then, is there a function to change these hot keys if you cannot change them ? Don't you think this is stupid ?
Those. judging by your answer, I can not assign anything to F3 ?

I'm wrong, you can change them. Only F3/F4 can't be changed

Okay, this is still strange. But then I managed to install batch processing on F6.

I have a similar problem:
I have two Ini files for XNViewMP for using different databases. Both intances have some customizations (like themes, arrangement of controls, toolbars, etc.).
In both instances, I have manually set F12 to cmd_rebuildThumb. (Setting this in instance A does not set in instance B automatically)
The shortcut then always worked in instance A, but never in B, no matter if I only start one of them or both.
If I assign another shortcut in instance B (like CTRL-SHIFT-M), this shortcut works, but F12 no longer works in instance A (nor does CTRL-SHIFT-M). If I then set CTRL-SHIFT-M in instance A, it works in A, but no longer in B.

I hope, this wasn't too confusing

I also wonder, where the keyboard shortcuts are stored? I could not find them in the INI- files or the registry.

So... after testing this a little more, I found out that this odd behaviour does only occur when I try to assign F12 to cmd_rebuildThumb. The F12 key then sometimes works in one of both instances, sometimes in none of them, but never in both.

But if I assign CTRL-12 to cmd_rebuildThumb in both instances, it seems to work fine. I can happily live with that, maybe this information is useful for someone else.
