File type colours not showing when displaying thumbnails + labels.

[gonefinishing]

It may as well be my fault, having mixed up some options, but after making sure the "Use color based on file format" option is checked under "Settings-File List", and having done so in the list just below it, as per:



Whenever I chose the Thumbnails+labels view option in the file browser, I can only get them to be displayed properly as soon as I set them, as in:



But not after I close and reopen XnView, as they end up returning to their previous "uncoloured" state - though the file type list shown in the first screenshot is still there, untouched. I mean, to be fair, there seems to be a minor issue with the list itself: the same screenshot displays all those uncoloured file types I'd innitially removed from the list umpteen times, but they do show up again after closing/reopening XnView as well (all those uncoloured file types under the dark green .crw filetype in the list, as I only need the half a dozen file types shown as coloured in the top)



But when I select other views, such as "Thumbnails+details", "List" or "Icons", the colours do show up again:



Oh, they do reappear in the same session if in "Settings-Thumbnails-Labels" I click on the Reset Color button.

BTW, I tried, if memory serves me well, to have the settings saved into both the .ini file and in Windows Registry, but with no success. I also tried to disable thumbnail caching but the result persists on being the same, I'm afraid.

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Edit:

PS: My XnView version is 0.99.6 64bits running on Windows 10 in a laptop with 16GB of RAM.

PPS: I rebuilt the thumbnail cache and renamed my .ini file, as per the sticker's instructions, but it's still the same story: colours disappear after a restart.

Doh! Only now did I realise this forum is for XnView classic, not MP.

Could the mods please move this to the MP forum?

Thank you and sorry!

[xnview]

could you send me your xnview.ini?

[gonefinishing]

Thanks. I sent you a PM with the link for it, as I didn't have the faintest of how to attach it to the message itself.

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

Thanks again, Pierre.

Does that mean we'll see it fixed in a oncoming update soon?

Blimey, your lightning-fast support and dedication along all these decades is just unbelievably out of this world!

If only other well paid big software developers/support team were half as fast as you are in tackling the slightest issues with the already-mature, powerful digital asset management system that XnView(MP) has become, like this Planetarium app I've bee begging for its devs to fix a simple qualm in its database for almost a month, but they still seem to be out on vacation in their yachts, to care about their customers issues at all!

But I digress, sorry!

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.00 beta. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

Yes, it's been fixed. You're a star, thanks!

PS: Sorry for the (very) late reply.
