hi all,
is there a way to get xnview to default to displaying an image when double-clicked (in explorer.exe) in the browser rather than the editor?
thanks,
david

Option/Browser/Open action perhaps?

all i see is an option to choose xnview as the viewer (no distinction between the editor and the browser).
any other ideas?

i'm still interested in a solution to this "problem".
is there a way to use Options/Browser/'Open action'/'Open in associated program' to force xnview to default to browser mode rather than viewer/editor mode?
if there is not a way to make this happen from within the gui options area, i'm completely open to any hack that will get double-clicking on an image file to result in xnview defaulting to browser mode.

Sure enough you are aware that with a right click on a folder in the folder tree and "Browse with XnView" you can open XnView in browser mode.
I've just tried to solve your issue (double-clicking on an image should open browser) with the command line options, but a command like
"c:\program files\XnView\xnview.exe" -browser pict0012.jpg
will open XnView in view mode, not in browser mode.
I think the -browser flag would have been a good way to always open the browser regardless of whether a path or an image file name is passed. Perhaps XnView's behaviour when passing "-browser" option can be changed.
