Fullscreen is unavailable with -filelist option; Crashes

Post by rs2009 »

If xnview is invoked with the -filelist option, then F11 / View in fullscreen does not work.

Sometimes this (F11/View in fullscreen attempt) results in a crash. It sounds similar to this report since it involves fullscreen and appears to not be caching in this mode.

Hi,

I think I found the difference:

1. If the photos are on a local C:\ drive, F11-fullscreen works ok.
2. If the photos (not the filelist) are on a network drive and I try F11-fullscreen from the browser window, then it fails.

Note - I can get to fullscreen hitting F11 from a viewer tab.
Note - Perhaps this is also related to the -filelist thumbnail appearing to *not* cache.

The thumbnails are not created??
I've tried with pictures on shared folder, and no problem...

Hi Pierre,

Sorry - This was my error.
I had trailing spaces in each line of my filelist.txt file.
After removing my trailing spaces, every thing works as expected.

(I didn't notice the spaces originally, because the browser thumbnails showed up even with the trailing spaces. It was the fullscreen view that caught my error).

thanks again for this feature

(Perhaps XnView should remove trailing whitespace in the filelist?)
