1.6.2 Page Up/Page Down changes behaviour in Full screen Mode after folder is changed

Post by Mark1342 »

XnView MP: 1.6.2 64-bit (Windows)
OS: Windows 11 - 64-bit

After changing from initial folder in full screen mode, Page Up/Page Down behaviour changes, preventing Logitech wireless Presenter from working normally.
(On Logitech Wireless Presenter Forwards/Back is the same as Page Up/Page Down keys)

Effect: Can no longer use Logitech Presenter to move images forward and back one at a time

To reproduce:
1. Dual Monitor Setup (else step 7. not available)
2. Settings -> View -> Fullscreen: Dual Monitor: Use Second Monitor - Selected
3. Browse a folder with images
4. Select one of the image files.
5. Open Fullscreen (view) using F11 key
6. Page down (/Page Up) correctly works to traverse images one at a time
7. In Folders Menu Select another Folder (Second monitor goes black)
8. Select one of the images (The selected image appears on the second monitor)
9. Page down changes behaviour
Actual behaviour (bug): Page down now advances to last image

Expected behaviour: Page down/Page Up to continue to perform Previous/Next file to allow use of Logitech Wireless Presenter
(If this is a conflict of operations, in Interface -> Keyboard could add PageUp/Page down options like there is for Left/Right and Up/Down)

it's because the focus is in thumbnail view and not fullscreen

OK I see. Am I missing an easier way to change focus back?
The only way I can see to switch the focus is moving the cursor onto the second screen and clicking (I am trying to avoid the cursor appearing on the full screen second monitor view). In Xnview classic the full screen view and Thumbnail view appear as separate tasks, alt-tab or hovering over the Xnview icon in the taskbar and you can switch focus easily to either.

When using the wireless presenter I will just have to always toggle in and out of full screen view (F11). I have just got so use to changing directory when in full screen mode, selecting an image and continuing with the cursor keys, that I was thrown when I was using the wireless presenter.

I was hoping that by putting the option in Interface -> Keyboard for PageUp/Page down would allow me to stay on previous/next file behaviour. But experimenting with this option for space and Up/Down it does not seem to do what I thought anyway.
