XnView Software

With bookmarks you can quickly change to a specific folder.
If you click a bookmark in order to switch to that folder, you most likely want to browse the files in that folder.
Therefore, I suggest to switch the focus to the window part with the files instead of leaving the focus on the bookmark part.

I would like to do this:
- click on a bookmark (folder changes to the chosen one and first picture is automatically selected and shown in preview window)
- press cursor down to go trough the files in the open folder

What I need to do right now:
- click on a bookmark
- click in folder/file pane
- press cursor down key to go trough the files in the open folder


Thanks,
Michael

the problem is if you use keyboard to navigate to bookmark, focus will be changed too

I would think that this behaviour is wishful for both mouse activated or by keyboard.
Because I think one opens a bookmark in ordner to get to that folder, and then no navigate within that folder, no?
(Or I wish an option for that, in my case I use bookmarks a lot, but I often forget to click again in the folder pane - I am used that the focus switches on itself from old ACDSee 3.1.)

ok, i can add an option by not by default

Great. Thanks!

In the new versions I cannot find the new option, yet. Is it still on your agenda, please?

not yet added

I would still like to see this option.

See issue for current status and some details.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.4.3. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

I installed v1.4.3, but it is not fixed/working.
I click on the bookmark/favorite, then I try to move cursor with keyboard arrows, but as the focus is not in the main window with the files, nothing happens, I cannot go through the files after clicking a bookmark, I still need a further click in the main window.

Do you have changed in xnview.ini, favSetFocus in [Browser]

favSetFocus=true works really well!

I had not, as I was not aware about the actual setting to put in the ini file.
I looked in the Settings in all tabs and couldn't find the option, so I assumed that you made it default instead of an option.

I edited xnview.ini and added favSetFocus=true, now it works. Thanks.
