Suggestion : F11 key to work even when several images or no images are selected

Post by joomlafab »

When using xnview-mp in dual screen mode, we can toggle the full screen view on secondary monitor by pushing F11. Unfortunately this works only if 1 and only 1 image is selected in the xnview browser. It would be convenient to be able to toggle the full view on secondary monitor by pressing F11, even if no images or several images are selected in the wnview browser. Or at least for closing the full view.

Let me explain why : I use xnview to select a bunch of photos, then I want to process them in another software. I watch them in full screen, mark them or give them a note, then I select all the ones I want to process and I want to drag and drop them in the other soft, that was already opened in the other screen, but my other screen has the full screen view so I can't. So now I need to unselect them except one, press F11 then select them again.

Another case is when I've been browsing several folders in xnview browser, and all photo are unselected. In this case the secondary monitor display a white screen that cannot be closed by pressing F11 until I select one image.

Anyway thanks a lot for this amazing piece of software. It's great and I love to use it.
