I reboot the Win11 system.
My Everything Filter displays images named as 2019 February, that is "T:\Media\Images\Camera\ IMG_201902*.jpg" where T: is my decrypted Veracrypt partition.
266 images returned. sounds right (I took 266 photographs during my first month in Bonavista!)
Three essays:-(1) I select and tap <Enter" on the first image; my default for JPG files is the (read-only) Windows Photo Viewer. The first image (IMG_20190201_091215121_HDR.jpg) pops into view.
I tap the right-arrow key and Windows Photo Viewer displays the next image, and so on, but when I tap right-arrow after the sixth image, the first image is re-displayed.
That is I seem to be restricted to six images at a time – Not what I want. I want to inspect all 266 images for the month of 2019-February.(2) I select the first six images and tap Enter. Viewer again restricts itself to six items.
This is what I would expect for a viewer – if I select only six images then only those six images will be passed to viewer.(3) I select the first SEVEN images and tap Enter. Viewer again restricts itself to six items.
This is NOT what I would expect for a viewer – if I select seven images then those seven images could be passed to viewer. But not six.
(4) I right-click on a JPG file and set Open With to be MSPaint. I reboot the Win11 system and re-apply my Everything Filter. MSPaint opens that image but (doh!) MSPaint doesn't support the right-arrow key to advance the next image.
(5) I right-click on a JPG file and set Open With to be Photos. I reboot the Win11 system and re-apply my Everything Filter. Photos opens that image and I enter Slideshow. When I have only one image selected (in my Everything results list) Slideshow shows only that image. Six selected images and Slideshow cycles through those Six; Thirteen yields thirteen.
Please and thank you, I am trying to determine what is at fault here (besides me and my lack of knowledge).
I suspect that my problem is NOT with Everything.
I suspect that because I think that Everything just passes the name of an executedx (ENTERed) file name to whatever it is in Windows 11 that works out what to do with that file.
Can I exclude Everything from my list of suspects?
Thanks again
Chris
