double-click on a pic, opening the image in full screen?

Hi
I'm coming from xnview MP, but I'm a bit disappointed, and I'm looking for a single manager that does everything. I'm trying XYplorer, which I set as the default photo program, but when I double-click a photo, the program opens with all the thumbnails, even though I want the image to open full-screen. Is there a setting I can change? Thanks.

From Admin/Don...
Forum users who have their Windows version and screen scaling percentage in the location field of their profile will get priority support. And be sure to state your XY version number in the body of your post. No info in the location field? Be patient and Don will get to you after he takes care of those who have the proper info in the proper place.

From the menu bar > Tools > Customize File Associations. You'll need to set it to whatever you use for your image viewer.

To use XYplorer's internal viewer full screen. Put the following in a Customized File Associations... under the Tools menu. See the Help file for details on using CFA's...make sure you "check" the entry.
"XYplorer Fullscreen Preview|:previewfull" {:Image}> #1003;
or hit the F12 key when the image is selected.
For Floating preview, use #178 in lieu of #1003.
"XYplorer Floating Preview|:fp" {:Image}> #178;
or press F11 when the image is selected. Check the default keys for Full Screen Preview and Floating Preview in Help > List all commands.

Good grief, why are you using Windows Explorer to open an image in XYplorer? Why are you even using Windows Explorer at all?

you're right but it's integrated into the system and it's the simplest thing to do

Modify the registry.
Or use AutoHotkey, modify the path to your actual XYplorer and compile it into an exe program. Then right-click the image and select Set as Default from the context menu. . .
Code: Select all
#Requires Autohotkey v2
if A_Args.length
try Run '"D:\Tools\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /feed=|::goto "' A_Args[1] '"; if(get("#178") == 0) {#1003}|'

Thanks, but it's too complicated for me, and I want to test Xyplorer first because it's shareware. I hope the feature I requested will be included in future versions. Thanks for your help. Thanks

Sorry, a question about
"XYplorer Floating Preview|:fp" {:Image}> #178;
Is it possible to set it so that double-clicking on the enlarged image opens the folder containing the photo, exactly what picsviews like Xnview do?
thanks

If you're double-clicking on a image file or a preview of the image, you are already in that folder. Instead of trying to make XYplorer behave like some other program, you should be learning and exploring XY's features to see how much better it is at everything concerning thumbnails and viewing photos.

Shift+F11 = show image full screen. Where's the problem?

Sorry, I don't understand. Logically, at least mine ^_^ when I open XYplorer and see the thumbnails of my photos and I want to see one enlarged, I would like to double click on it and it maximizes, then I double click on it and it goes back to thumbnail mode
