Startup up with "Categories"

Post by robc »

Is it possible to have XnView start with the tree pane on Favourites (or Categories) instead of Folders? if it's not, then I believe it would be a nice option to add. Sorry for crossposting this, but I wrote it as an afterthought in the "Yet another favorites issue - showing subfolders" topic and it seems nobody did notice it ;-)

I support this request.

There might be a dropdownlist "Startup tab in tree pane" to set the initial tab with values "Folders", "Categories", and "Favourites".

Amongst these options there might be also a setting "Last used" to remember and restore the last used tab.

I support this request, perhaps it should be saved automatically by default, later (ini) option might be added. Do you agree? Possible in the next release? I know it's quite late, but if no option is needed, for now... :?:

Here is my suggestion (not exactly the same):

The position is saved automatically in v1.93.6 beta 1, it's OK for me. Thanks Pierre.
