Hello, I'd like to make a request for options to allow customising the behaviour. I made an earlier one a year or so ago but this is a bit more comprehensive with better examples.
At present, if I open a file that is say 10% or 50% complete (i.e. a "broken" image), XMP will say "File can't be loaded!" and then it will remain in this empty state where I can't scroll to other, 100% complete images. By empty state I mean the viewer is open but there is nothing loaded, it's just the window.
Additionally, if I open the other good images, it will at first show in the status bar the complete count e.g. 1/15 images. But once I reach the end, it will then take that 1 bad image out and now it will say 1/14.
While this is useful in some scenarios (everyone has their own needs of course), for me, I'd prefer neither of these things. For example, the same things in ACDSee would be:
- broken image opens (as best it can render, or broken/blank) but no error
- since it actually has the file open, I can still scroll and move to the next file
- it will always show complete count of the files in the directory, no filtering/cutting out
Instead of the pop up, there can be a message similar to HoneyView, which just shows an image that says cannot load or something. i.e. what that does is not break the flow the way a separate pop up box does which requires clicking on a separate button. In HoneyView/ACDSee you can just continue scrolling. Best would be to have an option setting so people can choose if they want the pop up, replacement image, or nothing/whatever can be rendered.
So essentially, I'd like to ask for a way to disable the error that pops up for a broken image and to disable the filtering out of broken images in the total count that appears in the bottom left. Basically, I'd like the same behaviour as ACDSee.
Thanks!
