loading files from drag-and-drop not working properly #94

Open mgyver opened 5 years ago

mgyver commented 5 years ago

Hi Developers,

Actions : In Explorer > F3 search > found files > select some files (can be from different folders) to drag-and-drop into Quickviewer Expected result : Quickviewer to load only the selected drang-and-drop files What happens : Quickviewer loads all files from the folder of the first selected files

Could you have a look and correct this, please..

Thanks.

QuickViewer is not an application to compare images, so we do not expect to drop multiple files at the same time.

Therefore, it always displays only the first file of the dropped image file and displays it as one volume with other images of that folder or archive. The same volume can be switched with NextPage.

Therefore, if you want to realize the task you want to do, we recommend that you create an empty folder, copy your search results, and then display that folder.

Drag-and-drop multiple files is a basic thing when using image viewing apps. We use it to view a list of images we like to (nothing to do with "compare images").

For example, a folder contains 10 sub-folders of 10 countries visited. Then filtering for 2 specific countries for activities done in the morning will create a list of files to view for pleasure. Without proper handling of drag-and-drop multiple files from the list, will make any image viewer apps impractical.

The way QuickViewer handles drag-and-drop multiple files is against the basic thing we expect since we have GUI.

I just proposed the basic thing/behavior of a program should be doing.. which will make it more useful/favorable.
