Exiting from fullscreen view

[DavidPaul]

How do I exit from fullscreen view. If I press the Esc key, it exits altogether from IrfranView. Thanks.

Not here it doesn't. Maybe you're pressing it twice?

You can also exit fullscreen by clicking in the top left or right corner.

I've worked it out. I hade previously changed my Options to "Start in fullscreen mode...", but didn't realise that meant that you can't exit fullscreen mode without exiting IrfanView. Mmmm, that's not what I wanted.

Anyway, I now understand how it works. Thanks for your help.

If you start in fullscreen mode, you can switch to windowed mode (and back) using Enter. If this helps.

Yes, that's exactly what I was hoping for!!! Thanks very much.

IrfanView 4.62: New command line option: /fs_exit=> if started in fullscreen mode; ESC closes fullscreen and IrfanView.

The behaviour is triggered by Settings, Startup, Start in fullscreen mode (if image loaded; Single escape for program exit).
