Hi everyone... am new here and have been trying out XnView. I'm very impressed, it's one of the few browsers that will allow me to see my Xara xar files when I browse.
I've been using ACDSee for many years, but have been having trouble more often, and their service has been getting slower with more and more data base bugs... hope XnView is better.
A few big wishes:
1. Cataloging of off line CD's, DVDs, etc. so you can browse the thumbs and data info with out the CD in the drawer
2. Ability to move the file list window, preview window, and file tree windows around for more room. Restricted to having the preview window all the way across the bottom doesn't work that well, would be nice if it could sit under the file tree window, with the file list window taking up the whole right side.
3. Ability to make the file list window toggle full screen.

Does the XnView DeLuxe have any of these features?

Thanks for the hard work and great product!

Just discovered the Layout choices under the View menu. That solves the number 2 wish, sorry :D

Just noticed another irritation, I couldn't find an option setting for this in preferences... there doesn't seem to be any automatic refresh of the file list when changes are made such as saving a copy to a different file format, etc. I have to hit the refresh button every time to see the new or changed thumbs.

It will be a good feature, if Pierre implements this. I remember the old days (Windows 3.11!!!!) with the ThumbsPlus, which does allow this. It will be nice to have this in XnView.
