Browser tree expansion

Post by paulba »

This is hard to explain in text....

when browsing through folders each folder can be expanded by selecting the "+", if there are no more sub folder then there is no "+".

This is correct for local drives but network drives always have a "+" on the folder even when there is no more sub folders.

examples

Local drive ...Image

Network drive ... Image

if there are no sub folders then there should be no indication that there is. At worst the "+" should disappear when the folder is selected and the browser finds there is no more sub folders.

This happens in versions 1.82.4 and 1.90 beta 3.

Thanks

What you are asking might make XnView even slower with UNC paths or mapped drives.
XnView's tree handling should remain the same as Windows Explorer's.

That would mean it worked the same for both local and network drives. Xnview currently does not match windows explorer.

This is still an annoying glitch ..

examples

Windows Explorer... Image

Xnview Browser... Image

if there are no sub folders then there should be no indication that there is.

is there a chance this will ever be fixed??

Regards,

Paul

XnView 1.96 changelog wrote:Fixed:
* CheckNetFolder entry - http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=11011
I didn't realize that this was fixed for XnView 1.96 until now. But when I use CheckNetFolder in XnView 1.96 I don't get the '+' on any folder and the folder tree is unusable?? :(
