XnView MP - Multiple images open

Post by blkcrow »

In XnView classic I was able to open multiple images and resize the windows so I could view them side by side. I'm using XnView MP now and can open multiple images but can't seem to figure out to resize the windows so I can view them side by side. I see the X to close the window but no minimize or maximize/restore buttons. I checked through the settings and couldn't find anything. Can anyone help?

True, but that still limits me to two images at a time. I'd like to be able to open more, it helps with my work.

You can view up to 4 images simultaneously using the Compare function. Select the images, then Tools->Compare.
