Hi,

I'm using stacks to group similar pictures, mainly burst shots of my daughters.
I'm choosing the best one as the stack top but often want to see the stack members.

I saw that it's possible to navigate throught stacks in the quick view panel but unfortunately it s not available in the full screen display.

Would it be possible to add the same feature ?

If you select a collapsed stack, the Viewer opens all files in the stack (unless you have disabled this).
Else, while on the stack, Shift+H to select all files in the stack. If the stack is collapsed, press Shift+E, Shift+H to open it and to select all files.

Thanks Mario for the quick response. I know this manipulation well but it does not meet my need to navigate from the viewer.

I will try to illustrate it with a use case.

I want to show my family the best photos of our vacation. I have selected a selection and I switch to fullscreen viewer mode.
There during the presentation I have a photo of my daughter making a face and I know that I have selected only one but that I have a series of 10 photos with different variations.
I would like to be able to browse the list of the stack directly from the viewer and then return to my selection without having to go out, find the photo to open the stack....

The solution present in the quick viewer perfectly meets my needs

Is it clearer ?

Maybe just undock the Quick View Panel and maximize it in this situation?
This seems to he a rather particular use case. Let's wait and see how many Likes it gets.
