Editor in Fullsize mode in PSE 2018

marrier  wrote In former versions I could direct start the Editor when I am in fullsizemode (F11). Now I must go back to the organizer to start the editor. Is there a way to bring this function back?

I think the change occured with PSE13 with many other changes linked with the necessity to allow 64-bits editing. The 'Full screen' view then lost the ability to be the main browsing and selecting space for sending to the editor. What was left was mainly two functions: the ability to compare and judge files at 100% view, rate them or add keywords (temporary ones if you wish) and the instant slideshow features.

You have to leave the F11 mode back to the organizer, but you can't switch easily, it's a significant loss of flexibility.

Or you adapt your workflow and add your own 'workflow' keywords for later editing of a batch of selected photos.

The 'F11' view works a bit like an external editor like FastStone viewer, it's not ideally integrated. Since version 13, there has been remarkably few complaints about the change, which demonstrates that the 'F11' view is rarely used as the main browsing tool, mainly used for slideshows and comparisons. I doubt the old process will be restored. I have suggested in the past that you could do without the 'F11' view if there was a single click option in the normal display mode to get a 100% view window when showing only one thumbnail on the display.

Other complaints about the 'F11' mode were about the fact that when returning back to the normal view, you lose focus of the last seen image in 'F11'.
