IrfanView question

Question

I have a Dell 2400 running XP Home SP2.  I often use a freeware program called IrfanView (version 3.91) to edit photos.  As far as I can tell, it is NOT possible to open more than one picture at a time for editing.  Does anyone know if the latest version (3.95?) of IrfanView can do that?

I can only open one photo at a time in version 3.95.

IrfanView has had the ability to open multiple images/files for some time by running more than one instance of the program, but this function is disabled by default.  Turn off the option Only 1 instance of IrfanView is active, then open the next image or media file using another instance of IrfanView.   You will find the above option in Options | Properties | Misc.1

Thanks for the info.  I just looked, and that option is not checked.

Well in that case... if you can load more than one instance of IrfanView and open a different image with each, that is it.  It doesn't do multiple images in one window/instance - MSPAINT behaves exactly the same.
