Settings - viewer - filter - improve Archives option

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.8.1 64bit
Windows11 (23H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%


Settings - viewer - filelist - filter
there are 2 archive types which should be treated differently:
  • regular archives (ZIP, 7ZIP, RAR, etc)
    same as existing Archives group
  • image archives (CBR/CBZ)
    need thumbnails and functionality to browser internal images
its not possible to filter out image archives (cbr, cbz)

Suggestion

Browser
  • split regular archives and image archives
    • add new group 'Image archives'
      OR
    • move CBR/CBZ from Archives group to
      - All other files
      - somewhere else
Viewer
  • add same settings to Viewer's custom filter
    Settings > View > Filter
