Is it possible to enable the xnview to automatically switching to the next folder when continue to read the next image before/after the first/last image?
or did I just not find it?
Scroll across directories?

Re: Scroll across directories?
1. open parent folder in Browser
2. press 'Show files in subfolders'
3. sort by Path
4. open any image in Viewer
2. press 'Show files in subfolders'
3. sort by Path
4. open any image in Viewer

do I have to open the Browser first? because I usually open a image directly in viewer rather than the browser. and it doesn't sound like what I want though.
I mean, for example, the viewer read the image (let's say d:/a/b/c/img.jpg) I am opening and iterate through the directory (d:/a/b/c) it's in and display all images there, which is the regular behavior. When reaching the last image, it first get the list of sub-folders in current path (d:/a/b/c/e,d:/a/b/c/f, etc.), and check them one by one and see if there is any image in the folder. If so, then the viewer goes into that subfolder and read the images there. When there is no such folder, it goes to the parent folder of current folder and check its sub-folders after the current folder (for example, we should check d:/a/b/d*/ or d:/a/b/e*/ and so on, but not go to previous ones like d:/a/b/b*/ d:/a/b/a*/ and so on) and same behavior as mentioned just before. If no sub-folder, go to parent folder and check sub-folders after that one. When I scroll up, the viewer shows image in reversed way.
Would it be possible to add such function?
