Left/right does not work in Windows Photos after loading image from album with XYplorer

Running Windows 10 and XYplorer 20.50.
Left/right works when loading images from the default Windows explorer, but the arrows are not present and left/right does not work when loading from XYplorer. It's like Windows Photos cannot see the album as a whole when loading images from XYplorer. Any ideas?

Yes, this indeed stopped working in Windows 10. Cannot fix that, it's a Windows 10 bug. I suggest you use XYplorer's Floating Preview (F11) instead.

Another solution via a Portable File Association:
"Windows Photo Viewer" {:Image}>::run """%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe"" ""%ProgramFiles%\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll"", ImageView_Fullscreen <curitem>";

Is there any way to keybind Floating Preview to double click or middle click when opening an image file?
Also that script did nothing as it says " is not a valid script command.

Add this to
Tools | Customize File Associations...
Code: Select all
"Floating Preview" bmp;jpg;jpeg;gif;png> #178;
FYI, #178 is the internal command index for
File | Floating Preview (F11).

It works fine once copied and pasted correctly:
Code: Select all
"Windows Photo Viewer" {:Image}>::run """%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe"" ""%ProgramFiles%\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll"", ImageView_Fullscreen <curitem>";
