Hi,

Is there anyway to NOT close the xnview app when the last image/tab is closed?.

When i open a image in full screen and close it , xnview app exits/closes.

I wish to do this so that the next image opens quicky from the cache. It takes some time to open xnview whenver a new image in series of images is opened.

The issue is i open the image in full screen mode and when i close the image, xnview app should be open, but windowless.

Any way to achieve this?

I don't want to close xnview after i close the image/tab.

xnview is exiting if the image is closed.

if we do the same in preview. preview app does not exit.

You need to *uncheck* the above option if it is set... :D

It's unchecked.

I m basically expecting the same behaviour as preview.

when you close all image files with preview. preview app does not exit.

But if you close all images with xnview. xnview app exits.

I do not want xnview to exit if an image is closed.

Option unchecked, closing the last tab by clicking on the tab ''x' switches to the browser for me in v1.4.5 in Linux DEB version.

Probably best to file as a bug report under that 'MP heading, with full information and steps to reproduce.
