Wishlist: Favorite folder, Previewer on/off, XCF support,...

[MRRhum]

I've been using XnView for some time, for which I thank you. There's just a few features that I would like to see added, most of which seem fairly simple. Here's my list:

• *Favorites in opening view. It would be useful to be able go to a favorite folder instead of a recently-used folder when first opening the program.
  *Toolbar button to turn previewer on and off. I find myself switching the preview pane on and off a lot, and it's a bit awkward to use Ctrl-Shift P each time.
  *Shift-Enter (or Ctrl-Enter) on an image launches it in alternate viewer.
  *Thumbnails for GIMP xcf files.

Thanks.

Thanks for your input, Mr. Rhum. Some comments:

*Favorites in opening view. It would be useful to be able go to a favorite folder instead of a recently-used folder when first opening the program.

In the options, category "Browser" you can select the option "Specified" and specify the directory you want to view, first. Is this what you've been looking for?

*Toolbar button to turn previewer on and off. I find myself switching the preview pane on and off a lot, and it's a bit awkward to use Ctrl-Shift P each time.

A good idea for the toolbar. In general, there should be more functions available in the toolbar. Perhaps not by default, but choosable in the options.

*Shift-Enter (or Ctrl-Enter) on an image launches it in alternate viewer.

Good idea. Personally I'd prefer Ctrl+Enter.

*Thumbnails for GIMP xcf files.

I don't have GIMP files, but GIMP and XnView might be a good combinations/partners on both Windows and Un?x platforms.

No, I had in mind something like the dropdown favorites list at the top left of the browser window.

On further reflection, I agree.

*Thumbnails for GIMP xcf files.

Indeed they would. I have been using them together on Windows for quite some time.
