In the same instance? If you restart same problem?

Yes if I completely kill the process, it is there when I restart xnview. If I restart the PC, the same issue is there

I renamed XnView.db to something else. Then started xnview again & it automatically recreated an XnView.db file.

However, the issue remains.

I think this looks like it is definitely a bug.

@Pierre, can you recreate this by disabling the catalog & then re-enabling it again on a linux system?

This is a screenshot of the same folder. AFAICS it looks correct. The smudged name is my username.

I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling, but it didn't fix it. Possibly a bug, but I can't ask anyone to disable & re-enable the catalog because it could delete all their ...

May I ask whether your .config folder Properties > Permissions -- File access includes 'Read and write' permission?

I am using Linux Mint, with limited knowledge of Linux, but your issue seems to be possibly related to write permissions... :?:


I'm a fairly new user to linux, I just moved to ...

For further info, the files in that location are:

bookmark.ini
default.bar
default.keys
Thumb.db
xnview.ini
XnView.db

I assume the catalog is XnView.db?

Many thanks in advance

I store it in the user system file:
/home/my-user-name/.config

In fact, now I've investigated further, any stars or colours I add don't stick between folders either.

Yes, the catalog is enabled.

However, about a week ago I turned the catalog off. Then later that same day I turned it back on again.
Now tagging won't remember between folders. Is it possible there is a bug after a re-enable?

Thank you for replying

If I tag photos, when I change folders and come back the tags are nowhere to be seen. They have definitely worked previously.

And yes, I have "clear the list of tagged files" set to never in the settings.

I am on linux, using the latest .deb package.

Has anyone else found this issue or any ...

I get the exact same issue, it is very frustrating. Today I it has crashed 10 times in a row.

how many tabs do you have?


Seventeen tabs open.

I don't know if this helps, but I finally got it working by clicking on a different folder before it was due to crash. Then I could go back into ...

It loads up, then after a few seconds it disappears.

FWIW:
Faulting application name: xnviewmp.exe, version: 0.98.1.0, time stamp: 0x60080e5a
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.19041.662 ...

Toolbar buttons similar to forward/back, which instead move to the next folder or the previous folder.

Kind regards,

Since the last post on this topic is years old, I thought I would start a new one. I have written a script which makes the back & forward buttons work properly in Xnview without breaking any other functionality.

Create a new autohotkey script, then right click it & edit the script. Paste the ...

I know this thread is old, but I have found a solution in a small autohotkey script I wrote. For anyone who doesn't know about autohotkey, it is very easy to use.
