Viewing Android DCIM

When I get a lot of photos on my Android phone, I plug it into a usb cable to my computer and file-move them from my phone to my Windows computer.
However, I have to use Windows Explorer to do this, because XnViewMP won't view the contents of the Android file structure.

Neither can I drag-n-drop from XnViewMP onto Windows Explorer (or FreeCommander, my normal file-browser) to move photos into the phone's DCIM. The icon during drag-n-drop becomes a Ghostbusters NO symbol. And so I have to completely abandon XnView when it comes to any work with the Android DCIM folder that I access via Windows. I have to resort to Windows Explorer, instead, or use FreeCommander and enable thumbnail view.

XnView will let me view ONE photo at a time only.

Is there a setting or tweak that will let me use XnView to see the contents of that DCIM folder?

Currently XnView is not compatible with MTP protocol

Ah, that's what I figured, but I thought I would put this out there for a user-case. Thanks, Pierre.
