Browser - folders - widen folder selection

Post by 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


Example
browser_folders_widen_selection.png

What do you see as the benefit?

What is normal practice in other software?

- 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)

I would stick to windows File explorer as standard
