Opening multiple files

[TonyAki]

Hi, really loving the program so far 👍

The only big issue I have is the behavior when opening multiple files. Say I select 3 pictures of my cat from my camera folder in explorer, then right click > open in meView. What I'd like is for a single meView window to open, where I can browse through just those 3 pictures.

Instead, 3 different MeView windows open, one with each picture, and each window lets me browse through every single picture in the camera folder.

I'm not sure if this is by design or just an oversight, but it'd be really nice if a single meView window opened with only the picture(s) I've selected – or even an option to toggle this behavior on/off. Seems more intuitive to me.

Pure oversight from me. I never really opened multiple files via context menu before. It's definitively something I will have to fix somehow.
Having only the selected files in the queue is something I had in mind for a while.

I think behavior wise it could work like this:

• Select multiple files in file browser and right-click "Open with meView" (or drag'n'drop)
  => view only selected files in one meView instance
• Select multiple files in via the File > Open File menu entry.
  => view only selected files
• Select one file in the file browser and right-click "Open with meView" (or drag'n'drop)
  => view full folder (open recursive iwhen holding shift)

Notes to myself:

• Research how to allow multiple instances, while also being able to only have one instance when selecting multiple files
• Research shell extension to fix this via Windows
• Test behavior on Linux and Mac!
