Actual behaviour: XnView opens all selected images - each image in it's own tab.
Expected behaviour: ?

Yes, same here, but this appears to be a bug, as I would expect that if the setting to load multiple images opened at once in a single tab is enabled, it would do so regardless of how those images are opened. I've mentioned this in another thread discussing said setting.

Interesting. For me it displays the first selected image. But regardless, you should be able to cycle through the images (arrow keys, arrow buttons, etc) and have it only show you the ones you selected/opened. So if there are 100 images in the folder and you select and open 3, it should just cycle through those 3 and not show you the other 97. In which case, when you duplicate the tab, the new (duplicate) tab should do the same, but instead it will cycle through all 100 images.

Already had it set like that.
