I think the title says it all - just a minor thing I noticed...

If I end the viewer or the slideshow the thumbnail does NOT get back the focus.
This means e.g. that I can't jump to the next/prev. image with the arrow keys.


Even more 'minor':
If I select a few images and change the focus to e.g. a panel content
and then start the viewer it shows no images (in contrast to the slideshow)
even if there still are some images selected (they only don't have the focus any longer).

I am not sure if this is by design but it is not what I would expect.

The first issue has been fixed already (see also the Viewer Goto / Open Application) post.


You can open the viewer empty, that's by design. It allows you to position it etc.
To send files to the viewer, use the commands available int he file window (usually <Enter>). The contents in the viewer are independent from the file window you are currently viewing. Changing the selection in the file window does not change the selection in the viewer. The files you want to see in the viewer have to be explicitly 'sent'. The Quick View panel follows the selection in the file window. The slide show uses the current selection of files when you launch it, but then is also independent from the selection in the file window.
