I'm trying to wrap my head around the workflow of IrfanView, but it's been very difficult. I have 25 years experience with Windows and different image viewers, and over the time I've learned that one of the unwritten rules of workflow is that windowed and fullscreen mode should always control the same way, including the keyboard shortcuts. I mean, it's common sense, really.
Somehow IrfanView doesn't seem to honor that ergonomic. It seems extremely cumbersome to use, and i feel that for every feature there's one shortcut for windowed mode, but a mandatory completely different shortcut for fullscreen mode. (Or have i missed some important setting in the preferences?)
I learned that "1" and "2" can be used to quickly go to "1:1" and "fit to screen" in fullscreen mode. But those do not work in windowed mode. I tried to setup custom shortcuts "1" and "2" for windowed mode, and it worked, but, oh the horror, they didn't work in fullscreen anymore!
I lost the fullscreen shortcuts and now I can't find where to set those back. Please help me.
And a related question: Is it not possible to have consistent shortcuts in windowed and fullscreen for the most important functions in IrfanView?
