Shift-Select wrong behaviour between folders

Post by m.Th. »

Abstract: Shift-Select doesn't work ok when one changes the folders.

Steps:

0 (setup). Let's have two folders, f1 and f2 with photos named f1-001.jpg, f1-002.jpg ... in first folder and f2-001.jpg, f2-002.jpg, ... in the 2nd folder. Sort the folders by name. (not really needed but we use it in order to describe the problem).

1. Go to folder f1 and click on eg. f1-015.jpg. This photo will became selected.
2. Now go to folder f2. You will see that the 1st photo (f2-001.jpg) became selected automatically when we change the folder.
3. In folder f2, shift-click on f2-005.jpg

Expected:

Photos from f2-001 through f2-005 became selected.

Actual:

Photos from f2-005 till f2-015 became selected.

Notes: Most probably the selection anchor wasn't reset after changing the folder and it remained on the 15th photo (the last photo selected in the previous folder).

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.76 or later. Could you please try and confirm the bug fix, m.Th.?
