Automatic Switch Panels on/off When viewing/editing a file

[im-izz]

When opening a file with an external viewer or editor the panels switch off automatically and its annoying since maybe I want to edit/view multiple files I have to close/quit that editor/viewer so I can see MC panels back again, Is there a fix for this? I'm using it on my windows 10 with powershell.

any media: mpc-hc64
any photo: jpegview
I'm using those to display photos or play video/audio in another window of their own and would like to keep browsing files too, like playing an audio while browsing or open multiple photos on the go
