View in fullscreen (browser)

I need some feedback about this problem:

If you are in browser, and show all files. For example, you have some files non image/video files like zip, txt, ...

You click on a picture, you have the preview. Now press F11 for fullscreen.

If you click on 'next picture', and next file is non image/video files, what is the good behavior???

- Search next good file (image or video) (as currently)
or
- Display blank screen, and basic information (filename, filesize)
If you have 10 files in current folder, it's often strange to see in fullscreen, only 4 for example.

Option2: perhaps it is good to delete non-images in fullscreen. Also, it might be useful if an image file has been misnamed to use rename dialog there (I don't use scan headers).
---edit---
Perhaps the idea would also be a useful way to show an image has errrors.

Hmm... tough one. Spontanously I'd say don't show the non-image-files, but I think there might be times when you want to see all files. Maybe you can let it be as it is, as default, but make an option if you want to see all.

Here is my own opinion:
- Default setting should be Navigate through displayable formats only
- If option 'Show hexadecimal for non-displayable file' is ON, Navigate through ALL files (with info+hexa for non-displayable)
- And provide additional filters for more flexibility (there is already View>File list>Play Movie/Sound, but this could be improved)

I agree.

Yes, why not the same as "Browser > Items Displayed"? With 2 columns - View mode and Fullscreen.
