Having problem when opening photo in XYplorer.

[admin]

#178 is the internal command ID for Floating Preview. You see, what we are doing here is kind of a hack.

Ok understood I guessed it might be something like that, thanks for clarifying.

If I can add to your probably long customer request list some way to easily override via settings in the software to load anything that your own internal viewer supports that would be very useful!

IMO F11 is easy enough.

On dbl-click and Enter the jpg is opened with the first entry (Windows Photo Viewer) in my POM list as expected, I didn't try this with .0024 though.
The standard app to open file types not sticking when selected from within XY seems somewhat familiar from the past. Didn't we discuss and solve such a problem on the forum a long time ago? Sorry, I couldn't find the thread at the moment.

Yes, and I think this is a Windows 10 bug (something is not written to the 32-bit branch of the registry). When you set the standard app in Explorer, does it work then in XYplorer?

[RalphM]

Well, I'm the wrong one to test this as I don't have any problem opening them with either Enter or my POM entries that trigger by dbl-click.

Same here. It's mysterious why some Win10 behave special...

The next version has something new for everybody still having trouble with opening files:

Code: Select all

    > Miscellaneous | File Operations | Open Selected Item(s) by Shell: This 
      non-GUI command (#1057) was not working anymore in newer versions of 
      Windows 8 and 10 because on a whim they changed the capitalization of 
      certain key words that were guaranteed to be lower case before. Fixed. In 
      case ENTER or DblClick does not open a file, you can try this alternative 
      now (again). Let me know if it makes a difference.

Fantastic, that sounds really useful! Thanks for doing this

I apologize if the following problem has already been addressed, in case I ask for a link to its resolution, thanks.
When you open a photo, the Windows 10 "photo" application does not allow you to scroll through the other photos contained in the list, you have to open them one by one. This is not the case with Windows Explorer which allows scrolling using the keyboard arrows forward back

That is a known problem for all other file managers and not XY specific.
There are better Photo viewers, I use IrfanView which doesn't have such restrictions.

Don't get me wrong, IrfanView is fantastic software, but if you are strictly viewing images (and at that moment not using MDBU in XYplorer) use ImageEye https://www.fmjsoft.com/imageeye.html#main . It's extremely fast, frameless and also freeware.

I don't use Explorer previews normaly because for my primary file manager (Total Commander)
there are plugins for almost any file formats on the world
IrfanView also supports video formats and so I can scroll thru a mixed list of photos and videos which isn't possible with ImageEye

Well I suppose everyone has their preferences. I honestly do not care that I have to use another software program for video. I want to use the best for the given situation or file type. ImageEye besides being lightning fast, has a very clean no frame interface. IrfanView though excellent software (and I do use it quite often) does not have that clean frameless image display even when you use Hide=15 in the ini file. For video I use MPC-HC for essentially the same reasons. But, enough on this...this should be in the "Other Software" area.

I have used some file managers in the past, for example Cuibic Explorer, Total Commander, And several others but I didn't remember this defect ... It seems to me that not all of them have this image scrolling problem. Anyway thanks for the information, I'm sorry to have to install an external application given the potential of XY plorer ..... Or I'll use Windows Explorer ...
