XnView Software

If you mean the non-MP version - no. I'm on MP for years now.

Forgot to mention - while it is "dead" there is no excessive CPU usage (actually task manager shows 0% on the xnview process) nor any excessive memory usage. Also - it is not like "just once after startup" it is every time : I select "desktop" - hangs, select other folder - ok, go back to desktop ...

Hi,
I've had this before, but with the latest versions it became very serious : when I open an image saved on the desktop or if I select the desktop folder in the browser - XnView MP just hangs for a very long time - like more than 30 seconds and is totally unresponsive.

- F11 to switch to normal viewer mode
- F11 again to go back to fullscreen -> at this point image with windows UI ...

I can confirm I have this desktop issue for long time, since 0.75 and before and I'm almost sure also with the legacy XnView - it is happenning on the desktop exclusively and not always, but randomly.
Simply sometimes it takes 10-20 seconds to open a double-clicked desktop file in the viewer. If I ...

I confirm - "Always" setting doesn't work.
