Motivation or Use Case of this Change
There is the viewer mode and its opposite which I'll call cover mode here. I don't really find the cover mode that useful as is so having to enter the more useful viewer mode all the time is a chore. Only true distinction between the modes is what get's displayed as the thumbnails the rest can be all shown/done using status info variables and keyboard shortcuts as mentioned below.
Requested Feature/Change
- Make the viewer mode the default state instead of the cover mode (or remember the last setting). This way loading of cover thumbnails can happen only when it's needed.
- Different set of shortcuts to move to the next/previous cbx in the cover mode file list (even when in viewer mode)
- Make the viewer mode indicator (the red cross) less glaring or a option to get of it entirely. (If the shortcut can both enter and exit the viewer mode showing filepath in the status info makes this indicator redundant. Viewer mode state could be useful to have as a separate status info variable as well)
- Command line support for mult 539D iple cbx files. Should change the cbx list in the cover mode to just those provided as arguments
- Provide the cover mode support for folders when multiple folders are loaded at once using the command line or the browser
- Option to navigate to the end of previous cbx file/folder or the start of the next cbx file/folder at start and the end of the current folder/cbx as an alternative for looping or stopping right there.
- Provide status info variable for progress across all images in all files in the cover mode list (makes since only when loading multiple cbx/folders at once and not when its automatically loading all the viewable files in the first file's parent folder)
Context (Environment)
- PhotoQt version: v4.8
- Operating system: Windows 11
- Installed by: Website installer
Comments
I know I'm asking for lot of things here that's because really love how it looks and want to use this as my main image viewer. It's very cool that it supports images in archive directly when other image viewers like IrfanView and directory opus image viewer doesn't support them directly.
