Thanks, there is no network drive involved. My new Mini-PC has 2 SSD, 1st is partitioned as C: and D:
Desktop is located in C:\Users\<...>\Desktop as usual.
2nd SSD (E:) holds my big picture archiv. I will check further under which circumsdances the problem occurs or ...

Hello,
it seems that this function is broken in v1.9.5.
After ALT+C is no reaction on navigation keys and process is hanging for up to 20 seconds.

@Win11, v24H2 (Build 26100.7171)

Edit:
My use case is that I check pictures from an USB stick and some of them I copy to "C ...

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.5.0 beta .
The problem is in principle solved, thanks!
There is only a missing german translation:

In XnView Classic the german text was:

This text could be shorter, e.g. " Nicht erneut ...

Compared to Xnview Classic an additional Save option has been added in "MP" (Save As), see:

Both options should not be stuck together optically. The question "Save Changed File" can be answered ...

- the question posed above: "Do you want to save..." is confirmed with "Yes" or "No" in Classic. This is more logical for me.

but we have 'save as'

Ok. but you added a 2nd additional save option compared with Xnview Classic.
Perhaps you could visually redesign the dialogue to better separate ...

Thanks, in princip it is working correct in 1.4.5. The differences to Xnview Classic are:

- the default button is "Save" and not "Cancel", this is more risky with accidental use of ENTER
- the question posed above: "Do you want to save..." is confirmed with "Yes" or "No" in Classic. This is more ...

A static "Always save" or "Never save" is no option in my usecase.
Often I need a temporarily correction of brightness or ... to better read old writings.
Xnview Classic delivers the right "Never ask again" option, which is valid within a viewer session of consecutive images.

It would be very ...

Yes I did, but savingChanges=1 or savingChanges=0 (static setting) does not have the function as realized in Xnview Classic (dynamic overwrite), as described above. I tried both settings, but I cannot prevent the same question from being asked again and again within a session.
Or am I not ...

Is there no more a Windows x32 version available?
My version 1.4.1 is remenbering that there is a newer version for my Netbook, but is not.

I read many old books delivered as JPEG files. The file names are often cryptic and long.
The picture collections are long and it needs many days to research the content, especially with old hand written manuscripts.

To stop and continue the work later, the setting of a FOLDER+FILE bookmark would ...

Thanks, you are right. After configuration of shortcuts (in two different modes!) it's possible to copy full path and filename in a fast way (beside menu).
For my use case the bookmark function is not yet optimal, I will make a proposal in the MP section after trying to understand the current ...

I evaluate many old archives in the form of JPEG files. The workflow is that I read many pages and only need references for a few of them. In a first step I write short descriptions on 2nd monitor with a reference to that files. Later I klick the link to that file and transcript it.
