Preferences: Configure no-File-Browser mode

I am working only on gigapixel images, and i really like how powerful RT is! 💯

But...

If you start RT, it shows this screen:

If i would not clean it for the image it has a long loading time because of my big images.

But...

My working experience is only to use context menu and "open with RawTherapee". Now:

• RT first loads the file manager
• than it opens a new window with the image editor

I want to skip this allways via an option in the settings like "allways skip file manager when opening from context menu" to reduce the loading time by all of the not needed file manager screen

btw that would mean that the double click with the mouse can be reassigned and assigned to the zoom for 0 and 100%...

I thought the default behavior already opens just the editor. See remote mode: http://rawpedia.rawtherapee.com/Command-Line_Options#RawTherapee_GUI

I deleted my comments and summarized them here for brevity:

RT 5.9 on Windows does not have the editor view as default. It first opens the file-manager and than the editor window.

How do i use -R option?

If i use it (one time) via CMD

C:\Program Files\RawTherapee\5.9>rawtherapee -R

every new CMD window session now starts directly the editor window when opening an image like

C:\Program Files\RawTherapee\5.9>rawtherapee test.jpg

But, no effect via mouse context menu "open with RawTherapee"

Therefore: i just don't know how to assign -R to the context menu functionality.

Oh, there is a difference in handling:

I never used the second entry of "open with" :-)

[Lawrence37]

-R does the opposite of what you want. Right now, the "Open with RawTherapee" option uses -R (see #3933). The work-around is to use Windows's own "Open with" as you have discovered.

Ok, but this is a fresh new windows installation on my home PC. I have never used an -R option because i cannot edit your items in context menu on windows.

The only test i did was at my business laptop -R in the CMD console window.

The differences and settings are up to your installer. Not me.

[Lawrence37]

Maybe there is a language barrier. Let me rephrase.

If you choose "Open with RawTherapee", it will automatically use -R. It was designed that way. If you do not want the file browser to show, do not use "Open with RawTherapee". Use the "Open with" (Öffnen mit) instead. That one does not use the -R.

@Lawrence37

Ok, yes. I didn't understand (read) it was designed this way (to have different kind of "open with...")

Ok, for me this solves my issue if this is fixed and will not change because of error correction in some later releases.

Thank you :)
