Hi friends, I'm a big XnView fan and grateful to the developers, but a simple user and I apologize for my ignorance of all the settings.

I got a new computer and I'm just trying to make it work like it did on the old one. In particular, I want my images to open up in "fit to window" by default. I found the autofit menu, which has amazing detail, and the / key works fine, but can anyone tell me how to set the program so it opens as fit to window every time?

I'm sure this has been covered, but I can't find it. Thank you!

I think Tools > Settings... > View -- Auto zoom -- Fit image to window at the top.

There are a lot of settings options, generally arranged logically, so it is always worth exploring the setting available, some unexpected ones could be worth discovering... :D

Found it! Tools, Options, View, Autofit drop down

Thanks so much. You're right about digging around.

Tools > Settings... for me in Linux, and also I think in Windows, but in Macs possibly different to be consistent with standard Mac interface terms?
