XnView Software

Folders containing images (screenshots)

Whilst using Windows Explorer, double clicking a file will launch XnViewMP and the image is displayed.

When I use the [Next] button,so as to go to the next images, then I would expect XnViewMP to display the next file in the Explorer list.
Instead XnViewMP jumps to 'some' (random?) image in that folder.

So, example, folder contains images like this:

I open the 4th image, double clicking. XnViewMP when using Next File will not go to file 5 but picks some other file.

Probably I then need to:
1. open the image
2. launch XnViewMP browser
3. set view to thumbnails and details
4. do a resort based on date time
5. launch the viewer again (2nd tab)
then it will follow the date/time sequence.

Is it not possible to skip to next file based on date/time sort in the -viewer-, i.e. without having to use XnViewMP browser (go thru the steps above)?

Thanks!

in the browser you use "sort by date/time"? is it possible to have a folder of images to reproduce?

I have the same problem.

XnView is not able to use the sorting of the windows explorer.

I have made an example video:

Here you have the link to the files:

It would be great, if XnView can show pictures like sorted in the windows explorer.

I can't use same sorting, you need to change it in XnView

Why you cant use same sorting as in the Windows explorer?

Other programs can do it: Picasa, Basic Photo Viewer (Windows Store)

Up front: I don't use the other programs, so, sorry, I can not judge about them.

The thing is: when I double click an image from a series, e.g. picture 3 in the below series
picture-01.jpg
picture-02.jpg
picture-03.jpg
picture-04.jpg
picture-05.jpg
picture-06.jpg

and I click on 'next' XnView usually does not show nr.04, the nr.05, etc.
XnView will show a different image and I don't know what sequence it follows, to be honest.
so I exit and double click the next one.

hey mrwul,

my last post was the answer to the xnview author, not to you.

I also don't want to use the other programs. I posted it because it is a example, that other programs can do that.

Hope they can integrate it.

Basic Photo Viewer is a tools from Windows, Picasa i don't how it make. XnView has his own sorting system

It is very sad that it is not possible to implement the sorting like windows explorer

why you can't change the default sorting in XnView?

@christiandull :

In the browser you have View > Sort by which provides alternative orders, does this not provide sort as in Explorer?

I tried now the "Sort by folder" in XnView. But it is only alphabetically (and there are differences with small letters - not the same sort as in the folder) and also not change if i change the explorer to sort by date.

"Sort by folder" ??

You are looking at the browser View > Sort by options?

I don't really understand, but in any case I'm not the best person to you help as I normally just use Name in the browser sort options.

What I meant: when you double click an image (launching XnViewMP) and use the 'next' button to go to the next image,
what sort order is used -then-?
In that mode, is the sort order by modified date, created date, name ... what?

I am not talking about the browser mode. In browser mode (explorer mode), I agree, you have View->Sort By.

Thanks!

it's the same sort order as the browser mode
