Scrolling through Photos in MS Photo, when opened from XY

When I open a photo from windows explorer, it opens by default in MS photos. In photos it has arrows to scroll through other photos in the same folder.
When I open the same photo from XY, I dont have the option to scroll through other photos in the same folder....
Anyway to change this ?

This is not possible with any other file manager only in Explorer.
But you can switch to the old Windows Photo Viewer which is still available on Windows 10 default apps selection.

Use this as a custom file association
Code: Select all
"Windows Photo Viewer" {:Image}>::run """%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe"" ""%ProgramFiles%\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll"", ImageView_Fullscreen <curitem>";

Hi there, I came to this forum seeking assistance specifically with this exact issue. Apologies for responding to an older thread but I figured the question was relevant and keeping info together would be helpful.
I get the reason why I can't use Photos the same when opened from XYplorer. I've been using a different app called Pictureflect as a windows photo replacement, but it has the same issue.
Anyway this post and the answer got me wondering, is there a more XYplorer-centric method for viewing multiple images in this same fashion? A recommended selection of settings or options that could let me just do away with ever opening those photo apps at all and using XYplorer as my regular photo viewer instead? If it's a feature that XY can do right out of the box, I'd rather adapt my habits to using it instead.

Holy crap, it's that easy huh? Thank you! I learn something new (multiple things really) about this tool every day.

Follow-up, is there a way to set that F11 viewer as the default action for opening the file?

Use a custom file association
Code: Select all
"Floating preview" {:Image}>::if (!get("#178")) { #178; }

This makes me so ridiculously happy. Thanks for the tips!
