Are my settings off?

[ristretto6]

I have XNView installed on two different computers, but the user experience on each is completely different. The 2 major problems I'm having right now are:

1) When I open a file (i.e. hit Enter while I'm scrolling through the gallery view), it does open full screen, but then I can no longer use the left/right arrow keys to navigate from one photo to the next

2) Even though I have the Preview Pane open, no videos ever seem to play, whether I just scroll through them, or even if I try to open them by hitting Enter.

Are there some settings I need to tweak in this installation in order to make these two things work?

Thanks!

on Windows?

Yes, sorry, Windows 10 on an HP Envy.

If you hit F11, are you able to use left/right arrow? what do you have in Settings>Interface>Keyboard?

[ristretto6]

No, when I hit F11, it goes to fullscreen mode but nothing else changes--not able to use the left/right arrow keys.

When I go to Tools-->Options, these are the settings for Keyboard/Mouse:

Your display is different from mine, you are using XnView MP not XnView Classic?

In 'MP Tools > Settings... > Interface -- Keyboard tab 'Left/Right' should be set to 'Previous/Next file' to be able to step through images in a directory.

I hope that is not creating confusion!

Possibly related (MP):

• Next File/Previous File Shortcuts no longer working
• Prev/next image keys not always working
• 0.99.7: Fullscreen previous/next image selection is sluggish
• Next/previous file doesn't work in View mode

XnView Classic (Windows only)
XnView MP (Windows/Linux/Mac)

Oh, interesting. It actually also looks different from the installations on my other laptops which seem to work fine. So which should I be using, XNView, or XNView Classic?

XnView MP is the future, so if you are starting probably best to install that...

[ristretto6]

That seemed to do the trick! Thanks so much!
