Settings - interface - change default mode to Viewer

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.8.0 64bit
Windows11 (23H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%


Settings - interface - Toolbar, Context menu, Shortcuts sections
mode combobox is set to Browser by default, which is inconvenient because people usually only use Viewer and don't notice this combo box at all

Suggestion
  • improve UX for Toolbar, Context menu, Shortcuts sections
    • change default mode to Viewer
      OR
    • automatically change mode depending on the currently active tab mode
      eg if Viewer(or Empty) tab is active and Settings opened - change combobox to Viewer in all 3 sections
