as title suggested currently if I open a picture in c:\ drive. the most it'll allow me to go is C:\ root and I have no way to go to another drive. I will have to hop out into windows explorer and try to open image from say D: drive.

then folder tree in quickviewer now shows d: drive root and I have no way going back to C.

please add desktop, all other drives for easy quick access, along with an address bar for easy copy/paste to a folder real fast. thank you!

FolderViewer provided by QuickViewer is an auxiliary means to access images, and it is originally assumed that image files and folders are dropped and displayed from Explorer etc. on QuickViewer's Windows.

It is not impossible to list the drives in this window, but it can freeze for a few seconds depending on your PC hardware configuration. (Often occurs on floppy disks and optical drives)

there are many viewers out there have great explorer aspect of UI but when comes to loading image for performance its really slow. .5-1 seconds for loading .gif where as quickviewer is instant, would adding these affecting image loading? i thought they are seperate thing.

I mean .gif is so old and computer I am on is 9th gen 8 cores cpu, it makes no sense to have them lag during load just because more features is added on the explorer side.

but I would really appreciate it if it's added, maybe give user the option to enable/disable this feature based off the performance of their hardware.

so is it possible to have this included in the future version =D
