Auto Image Size: "Fit window to image" only for single image view. XV should remember previous Gallery View window size

[tobwz]

Assume I am currently in Gallery view.
The current folder contains multiple images. Among them

aaa.jpg 80x80
bbb.jpg ....
....

I setup in settings--->View--->Auto-Image size=Fit windows to image
Reset 'Auto image size' settings with next/previous file=YES


Now I double click on aaa.jpg thumbnail.
XnView windows shrinks according to the image dimensions of aaa.jpg to a
windows size 80x80 and shows the small image.
Good

Now I double click on the shown 80x80 image aaa.jpg to return back to Gallery View.
Much to my surprise the XnView window size remains at 80x80.
Hence the Gallery view is unusable and users have to resize the window manually.
Very unhandy.

How can I tell XnViewMP to remember its previous default size for Gallery View and use it when
user returns to Gallery View?

In other words:
Auto-Image size=Fit windows to image
should only be applied to single image view mode but not to Gallery View mode.

I guess this is a bug which needs to fixed in next release

'Fit windows to image' is experimental, there is some issues

[tobwz]

There are some heavy bugs in this function. It is at most in pre-alpha state.

This is surprising since in XnView classic this feature is working good.

When will XnViewMP catch up to XnView classic?

[xnview]

is it possible to send you a test version?

is it possible to send you a test version?

Yes, no problem.
You have my email?

Observations:

1.) XnViewMP test version restores the OUTER window dimensions after reverting to Gallery View. Good.
Bad: it does NOT restore the vertical delimiter boundary position between the treeview pane on the left and the gallery pane on the right.

2.) When I double click in single image view onto the current image then XnViewMP reverts to the gallery view: Good
Bad: When I press ESC in single image view onto the current images XnViewMP show the next/previous image instead of returning to Gallery view
ESC should be equivalent to double click

3.) When I double click in Gallery view on a very, very long (=high) images (e.g. > 20000 pixel height) then XnViewMP tries to show the full image in window.
At this point XnViewMP should be smarter. Instead of a function

"Fit window to larger dimension of (current) image"

it should perform a

"Fit window to smaller dimension of (current) image"

So when the image has a dimension of e.g. 1680x20000 pixels then XnViewMP should adjust the windows WIDTH to 1680 pixels and show only the upper
part of the image. The lower part of the image should be made viewable by either

a) vertical scroll bar (second best)
b) by dragging the image inside the window upwards (highly preferred at least as an option; I hate scrollbars)

could you post a screenshot of your layout?

ESC should be equivalent to double click

it was always like that, ESC close current tab and previous tab is enabled

Problem number 1 seems to be solved.

Number 2+3 are still unsolved

[xnview]

Number 2+3 are still unsolved

2) is not a problem.
3) So you would like to stay in 100%, right?

2.) How can I re-assign hotkey <ESC> in single image view to be equivalent to double click?
3.) Yes 100%

2.) How can I re-assign hotkey <ESC> in single image view to be equivalent to double click?

currently not possible to reassign ESC. But if you have only 2 tabs, ESC closes the current and returns to browser

3.) Yes 100%

Bad.

A 1451 x 21565 image is shown like in the attached snapshot.

We agreed that the the image is shown in 100%
But this is not the case
