ShellEX + Single Instance: is there a way?

Post by Error404 »

Howdy

First of all, cheers for the excellent program, it's good to know there're still some people dedicating time to make our life a tad better. :mrgreen:

Now to the question: Is there a way to configure the shell extension to open all the images in the same instance of XnView?

Case now, when i try to open multiple pics via context menu, i get a bunch of XnViews on my taskbar. It would be really neat (and i bet a lot faster) if i could actually use XnView's tab feature. :D

If there isn't such thing on the current version, it could be an interesting feature for the future... maybe with even more options besides the single instance, allowing us to associate the context menu thumb opening with another program, for example. :idea:

In the Tools menu go to Options » General » Startup and activate Only one Instance.
