[user0]

XnViewMP 1.5.2 64bit
Windows11 (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%

Browser - folders
its not possible to select folder by clicking on its line, you have to click on the name

Suggestion
expand folder selection indicator from edge-to-edge like in windows File explorer

What do you see as the benefit?

What is normal practice in other software?

updated post with few details

What do you see as the benefit?

- easy to select an item by clicking on the line, instead of name only
- enhance visual indication of the selected item
- edge-to-edge selection just looks better (no broken lines)

What is normal practice in other software?

I would stick to windows File explorer as standard

[xnview]

it's not possible, Qt behavior

Selection in Catalog Filter is widen all the way to the right

Is it possible to make the same for:
- Folders
- Favorites

[xnview]

yes, but children are not all expanded (and created) in folder tree view... so here i can't

[user0]

but it it should not depend on children, column should always auto stretch to the widget size

aren't Folders and Catalog Filter using same QTreeView?
that has QHeaderView::ResizeMode, guess this is similar use case
