XnView Software

Looks like it's fixed!

1. Delete all the .ini files
2. Create a folder with one jpg in it
3. Double-click the jpg to launch XnViewMP
4. On launch, it shows the startup wizard. Just click OK.
5. Double-click the image to show the browser
6. Delete key, OK. Now the folder is empty.
7. Backspace 2x to navigate two levels up ...

Glad to see there's a config option to revert this buggy-looking behavior. Can't even conceive of why this would be intentional...

I reported this as a bug too, here: https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?p=203068#p203068

...And was linked to this thread. Makes no sense to me to ask if you want to save changes to a file that you just moved/deleted...honestly can't even conceive of the logic of that. Like if I say "yes ...

New bug since updating from 1.7.2 to 1.8.3 on Windows. If I:

* Double-click a jpg in Windows Explorer (to launch XnView)
* Double-click to the photo viewer to switch to "Browse" mode
* Select All (in XnView Browser)
* Cut
* Paste to another folder in Windows Explorer
* Quit XnView
* On quit, it ...

Fixed, *if* you edit xnview.ini & set delayedNav=true in the [Viewer] section. By default (i.e. without adding that to the config), the issue will remain.

There is indeed this problem.

When video preview is turned on, and then you click on a folder, it automatically plays the videos in it while opening the folder.

At this point, there is no way to delete them, either the folder, or the videos.

To be precise, I can't find any way to delete the ...

Well, clearly it's more widespread than just me - so it's indeed a real issue: https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=44011&start=15

(In any event, less severe IMO than the Linux issue that I've been reporting for over 4 years (https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=40701 ...

> How do you go in browser view, double click?

Yeah, by double-clicking

> If you close the image tab, same problem (View>Tab>Show)?

Yeah, same behavior

The fix did make it infinitely more usable than what we have now - perhaps not perfect, but certainly better than just leaving it as-is. Given it's been so hard to get replies over the past 4 years, I'd be happy to move on with just that.

> Windows 10?

Yeah, Windows 10.

> If you try to close the image tab (not closed when you go to browser), same problem?

I'm not sure what you mean by the "image tab" (there's no tab titled "Image")

Here's a video showing the behavior: https://jiij.cc/snaps/2024-07-12_15.39.32.mp4

Seems like you had a fix, but it wasn't included in the actual releases (just the test build u sent me directly). Then you stopped responding to DMs in February (I followed up in March & June, both with no reply).

DM'ed

Anytime I view photos with XnView MP, it seems to "lock" the containing folder (on Windows), preventing the folder from being deleted. It remains locked even after I navigate out of it in XnView's browser - I have to completely quit XnView in order to be able to delete it.

Easy to repro:
