Always navigate to 3rd Tab (Details) in Photo Viewer

[reverberation]

Please see the screenshot and my code below for reference. I want to have a quick view on photo details. However with my code and because windows photo viewer saves where it last left off, using tabs to get there doesn't work. How can i improve it to make it always go to Details tab?

Code: Select all

#If WinActive("ahk_class Photo_Lightweight_Viewer") ;Windows Photo Viewer Shortcuts
\:: ;view EXIF of photo
Send !{Enter}
Sleep 250
Send ^{tab 2}
Send {Down}
return

Code: Select all

#NoEnv
#SingleInstance Force
SetTitleMatchMode, 2

#If WinActive("ahk_class Photo_Lightweight_Viewer") ;Windows Photo Viewer Shortcuts
\::    ; view EXIF of photo
	Send !{Enter}
	WinWait, Properties
    SendMessage, 0x1330, 2,, SysTabControl321, Properties
return

Hi there, with your code, it still displays "General" tab instead of Details tab. any idea why?

Works here could try adding a sleep between winwait and sendmessage.

Does AHK have to be run as admin?
