Opening multiple pictures in tabs at once

Post by Ilikemyprivacy »

Is there a way to open in the tabs multiple pictures at once? I tried the slideshow but that doesn't allow much control over the pictures and I much prefer the pictures in the tabs.

As it is if I wanted to open multiple pictures I have to go through all my folders and open them manually.

In XnView Classic, or XnView MP?

In XnView MP, in the the browser or viewer Help > About > Command line tab has an option to launch XnView MP with an image open a tab, if that might provide a solution you could test whether multiple files can be opened in tabs that way... :?:
