SE: multiple images

In Picaview there was a feature I liked a lot. I could select several images (or even a big bunch of images), and when the preview window was opened I could cycle through them with the mouse wheel or the page up/down keys.
I'd really like to be able to do this without the need to open XnView each time.
Or is there a way to do this already with the Shell Extension ?
Thanks

In the context menu of windows explorer??

Yes. Je passe en français ça ira plus vite
Je trouvais ça très pratique dans Picaview, on a pas l'impression de lancer une appli, c'est instantané !
On aurait donc Clic droit -> menu contextuel avec vignette -> clic sur la vignette pour afficher une vue à taille réelle ou molette pour passer d'une image à l'autre -> clic sur la vue taille réelle pour ouvrir XnView.
Ça peut être vu de deux façons :
- une extension shell plus costaude qui saurait ouvrir une fenêtre.
- ou ouvrir XnView dans un mode "interface réduite au minimum"
Mais je m'éloigne peut-être carrément de la roadmap. Disons que c'était une suggestion plutôt qu'une request

Please use English here. I like your idea, but I don't know what exactly do you mean now.

Sure !
I thought Picaview was very handy because it was blazingly fast ! You didn't feel you were opening an app, it was instantaneous. (a full size preview just popped if you clicked on the thumbnail).
Selecting several images in SE would be like this : right clic -> contextual menu with thumbnail of clicked image -> clic thumbnail to display a full size preview, then use mousewheel to cycle trough selected images -> another click on full size preview cloud open XnView.
In my mind it could be :
- a upgraded SE able to open a popup window.
- or opening XnView in a light "minimal interface mode".
But this may be way off the roadmap. It's more a suggestion than a request
As a webdesigner I often need a fast way to browse a few images, just to have a look at them. Most of the time I need no editing.
Slightly OT

I second that, and that is the reason I kept PicaView over SE...
