1.5.5 - viewer - info - settings conflict in fullscreen

[user0]

XnViewMP 1.5.5 64bit
Windows11 (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%

Viewer - Info overlay
show/hide state is controlled by the following settings:

• normal mode
  
  • depends on Info state in viewer itself
    [Start]
    showInfo=false

• fullscreen mode
  
  • Always show in fullscreen
    Settings > View > Info
    [Start]
    infoOnlyFullscreen=true
  • Show info
    Settings > View > Fullscreen
    [Viewer]
    useInfo=true

Issue

• case 1 (default state) - duplicate settings
  ☑ Always show in fullscreen
  ☑ Show info
  - what is the purpose of 'Show info' if its already enabled by 'Always show in fullscreen'?

• case 2 - settings conflict
  ☑ Always show in fullscreen
  ☐ Show info
  - no Info appears in fullscreen despite 'Always show in fullscreen'

• case 3 - confusing settings
  ☐ Always show in fullscreen
  ☑ or ☐ Show info
  - what is the purpose of 'Show info' as it doesn't affect anything
  - normal/fullscreen modes share the same state

Suggestion
rework Info behaviour

• A - simplified settings
  - state manages only in 'manual' mode - via i key
  - state seprated for normal/fullscreen modes
  • .ini
    - remove both flags (infoOnlyFullscreen, useInfo)
    - add new flag that works the same way as showInfo, but in fullscreen mode, eg fullShowInfo
  • settigns
    - remove all checkboxes

• B - explicit settings
  - state manages in 'manual' and 'auto' modes
  - normal/fullscreen modes can share same state
  • .ini
    same as A
  • settings
    - remove old checkboxes
    - add new comboboxes

but what's the problem??

I have added some info

[xnview]

i understand. I've added 'Always show in fullscreen' because on old version info was always activated in fullscreen. But you can change visibility state in normal or fullscreen mode.

It's not a big deal, it just feels unpolished when you start digging into it
