XnView Software

I gave the repro steps 5 years ago, including the inconsistency between the thumbnails pane and the folders pane.

I tried it on VMware, and the bug is still reproducing.

This is happening with a clean .ini and the ZIP version of XnView MP 0.88.

I found a way to reproduce.

The bug only happens when XnView MP is running in a virtual machine. It works correctly when running directly on a physical computer.

It happens on both Virtualbox and Hyper-V. It happens on both Windows and Linux. It happens when using the VM console and Remote Desktop ...

Problem still repros in 0.88.

Attached is a video capture that shows this behavior. It's an animated GIF, so you'll have to click through.

When you create a New Folder, the folder name becomes editable. However, the folder name is not selected, as it is in Windows Explorer. Instead, the text cursor is at the end of the folder name, so anything the user types gets appended to the folder name, instead of replacing ...

After browsing to a directory symbolic link, opening a subdirectory from the thumbnails pane causes XnViewMP to change the current directory to the target of the symlink.

When "Dual monitor: Use second monitor" is on, you can enter fullscreen by pressing F11 (or clicking the fullscreen icon, or View-Fullscreen).

The bug has been fixed in 0.84 final.

You can only move categories in the ...

Thanks, that works. I don't know how I missed that. I think I just skipped over it because I was looking for it under Tabs.

How about:


Turning it off by default to be consistent with other Windows applications.
Moving ...

0.83 behaves correctly, keeping the categories list sorted after drag-and-drop.

The problem started on 0.84. It is still there in the latest 0.84 beta 4.

An option would be a good idea. However, I think it should be off by default, because it is a side effect that doesn't match other applications.

The Browser is sort of like Windows Explorer. If you open two images from different folders in Windows Explorer, closing one of them will not change the ...

When you drag-and-drop the category under a Parent category, it is always shown at the end of the list. However, if you close and open XnView, it is shown in alphabetical order again.

When you move a category under a Parent category using "Move to...", it is shown in alphabetical order. This is the ...

Whenever an active image tab is closed, the Browser will change to the folder of the closed image.

This is bad when you are browsing a category:


Switch to Categories Filter.
Select a category to browse.
Open an image.
Close the image tab.

The browser now shows the folder that contains the ...
