XnViewMP loses active file when filtering is on and off

Post by eye2eye »

Is it possible to make an XnViewMP to hold photo active when filtering by tag/colour/star is on (to find only type "x" files), last file is made active, and then filtering is off (showing again all files in folder)?
There is typical situation, when we open again some folder used earlier for sorting, and want to find last watched or last tagged photo, using filter by, make this file active, and again show all photos to continue selecting from this activated file. Now XnViewMP is always coming back to begin of photos list, and we need to find photo manually thru thousands files in folder (especially with small and always visible square icon of untagged files [case in other topic] this is little nighmare).
Maybe this is a bug, maybe there were never function like this. IMO it's fundamental.

Thanks.
