"Strip of images" enhancement...
Any chance XnView can add a feature to "walk" pictures [i.e. browse all images from a folder in a horizontal scroll mode]. Similar to this program:
PicWalker [ www.oma-penny.com ]
This is really good for browsing a lot of pictures very fast, in a non-linear fashion!
Problem with the strip of images mode is that it can't support an unlimited number of images [otherwise it stops working]. And a large folder of images takes a long time to create. It would be nice if this was a view mode [i.e. have right click menu option to view this directory as strip of images], and only load / cache a certain number of images on-screen at a time. And with a scroll bar option, be able to display the images requested at the scroll bar location. This feature would be a great help in saving a lot of time when browsing large number of images in a non-linear fashion. Thanks.
BTW: Images should be selectable and deletable in strip of images mode. And double clicked images [while on display in strip of images] should be centered on screen. So this mode is a blend between view and a bit of file browser.

No, it's some transition effect, could be added to xnview's transition effects.xnview wrote:Perhaps it's the film strip mode of xnview!TsunamiZ wrote:Any chance XnView can add a feature to "walk" pictures [i.e. browse all images from a folder in a horizontal scroll mode]. Similar to this program:

With the hotkey (T) it could be used anytime - more here.

Re: REQ: "Picture walking" mode...
It's not an "effect". It's a feature that allows users to drag scroll a directory of pictures for very fast image viewing. It even has a fullscreen mode that hides all GUI and can fit large images to the screen while drag browsing. If anyone want to give that free program a try, it's well worth it! And you'll see what I mean.

I know what you mean now, there is similar layout in xnview, but it doesn't work like that.TsunamiZ wrote:It's not an "effect".

I support this request, but also as transition effect, in slide show it would be nice.

Already...


- I've already suggested such a feature as an "auto-scroll" for the film strip layout a long while ago… unsuccessfully. I guess you might find out it via the Search (if it's well humoured…)
- So, I support the request, of course, even whether this must be postponed to a later…later… version

Old user ON SELECTIVE STRIKE till further notice •
Re: Already...
Just to be clear: This is not an "auto" scroll. This is DRAG scroll that allows the user to drag scroll dynamically to any picture in a directory.
Yeah, hopefully we can make use of such a great feature soon!
