Hi,

Does anyone know of a MDI image viewer? One that when you open up a
number of image files, rather than opening each one in a new window,
it opens them all up in the one window, one image per tab?

Thanks.

Photofiltre can do that.
 
I think that xnview can do this

Thanks Rili and Curt for your replies. I've just tried XnView, but it
seems to have a bug with opening files from paths with spaces in their
names (eg c:\Program Files) from my newsreader (Agent 3.0) - problem
because Agent stores it's temp files in \Program Files. So, I will
have to give PhotoFiltre a try - hope it hasn't got the same bug. I
normally use IrfanView for all my media - and it works fine in Agent
(no bug with spaces), but Agent is the one program I specifically want
MDI (which IrfanView hasn't got) for.

Oh crap-on-a-stick. I spoke too soon - PhotoFiltre has the exact same
bug in Agent :-(

FWIW, that sounds more like an Agent bug than a photo editor one.

Why not just change the directory that Agent stores files in ?

Hm, it's hard to tell. IrfanView works fine in this situation, just
not XnView or PhotoFiltre. Anyway, after a bit of experimentation, I
found the way to make it work was to put "C:\Program
Files\XnView\xnview.exe" "%1" in the Agent options, rather than just
the "C:\Program Files\XnView\xnview.exe" I had been putting. The %1
reflects what is stored in the Windows associations - but why you need
to put it a second time (in Agent itself), and why IrfanView doesn't
need it is a mystery. Anyway, it works finally, so I'm a happy camper
:-)

And to John who suggested I change the place Agent put's its temp
files, I was going to try that, but I couldn't find any way to
actually do it - so I kept on experimenting to see if I could get it
to work as is.
