I'm the same. The solution is simple, though:FKCapitalism wrote: Mon May 23, 2022 6:11 pmAll this view different view modes really confuse me, especially one that opens when you simply press middle mouse button, i never use it. Only need two modes - thumbnails view and full screen view.
I prefer "Browser <> Viewer" mode myself thanks though this does what i want.zarlan wrote: Tue May 24, 2022 7:14 amI'm the same.

Enter Settings. Go to Interface, and then the tab named "Switching mode".
There, set all of the alternatives to "Browser <> Fullscreen | Viewer <> Fullscreen". (except if you want any of double-click, middle-click, or Enter, to not switch between browser (this is the thumbnail view) and fullscreen. Any you don't want to do that, just set to "Do nothing")
Once you do that, enter fullscreen once, and then they won't lead to Viewer mode again …unless you go to Viewer mode through the toolbar button, or through the menus. (in which case entering fullscreen again, will fix the problem)
If i select Browser <> Fullscreen | Viewer <> Fullscreen and click thumbnail it opens full screen with arrows on bottom.zarlan wrote: Tue May 24, 2022 4:31 pm You said you only wanted thumbnails (i.e. browser) and fullscreen …and "Viewer" is neither thumbnails, nor fullscreen, and thus clearly not a mode that you want.

That is cannot, in any possible way, be referred to as fullscreen.When i select Browser <> Viewer it opens proper full screen without any distractions just as i like.
Ok, so you would like the 'edit mode'. With this option, you have no more fullscreen, it's ok for you?FKCapitalism wrote: Tue May 24, 2022 7:34 pm When i select Browser <> Viewer it opens proper full screen without any distractions just as i like.
For me personally key to a good image viewer is simplicity, i really get confused by all different modes that XnView MP offers, i just want to simplify it as much as possible. Regarding full screen settings allow me to configure XnView MP as i like so i am happy about it, no need to change anything.xnview wrote: Mon May 30, 2022 10:15 amOk, so you would like the 'edit mode'.
