XnView Software

It is a mapped network drive of a local drive (I need some drives and folders to be given consistent paths due to the way my software works).

But turning off the cache (both items) seems to have done the trick.

Shall I just leave it off, and will this help you diagnose and fix the issue?

If I use the left and right arrows keys on the keyboard to cycle through, I get freezes even worse than the scroll-wheel.

We're talking 30 seconds or more.

If I press the arrow left and right icons (previous file / next file) with a left click, I don't get the problem.

So:

Scroll-wheel and ...

No, I just click one of the images in Windows Explorer, and XV View opens up... and then I just use the scroll wheel.

Basically, I am often digging around my 3d asset collections looking for the right item, and I navigate with explorer.

So here is the directory I am looking at

Although the error does happen in other file folders with other images, it doesn't always happen, and for some folders it doesn't happen.

But for the above images, it will always happen at some point.

And to ...

Right I tried that all again and debug=2 had reverted to debug=0

So when I look at the output log window, it seems to freeze at this point:

########################################
############### UPDATE MENU ############
########################################
QCssParser::parseColorValue ...

Yes

Well, I clicked the XV View icon, and it opened, but there is no window with logs.

Do think you might be able to explain another way to open it? perhaps even one or two examples so we aren't playing tennis over the course of a week?

I don't know what you want me to do with this logs window.

Where? is it a file? a window I can open? text?

if you go in a folder with 2/3 jpeg files, same problem?


Yes, varying sizes.

I just tried it in a folder of only 3 images, and it doesn't have this problem.

In fact, I had a folder and kept removing files one by one and trying the same thing - 3 files is the maximum you can have before it ...

I did, it was set to "sort by name" - but I have never set that option or changed it, so I don't know what else to tell you.

If I change the "sort by" option I still get freezes.

It feels to me like the sheer amount of commands in one go is choking the software somehow... some kind of buffer issue ...

46 jpegs, ~2 meg each

I don't know what the sort order is... do you mean in windows explorer? because I haven't touched it (and don't know where to find it) in XNview.
In explorer maybe Name or Last modified.

I just double click an image in Explorer and then used to just scroll in XN View.

I see that someone else has a similar issue

But their solution does not work for me, as my INI file doesn't have arrangeby.

Anyway, when I have a tab open and scroll through images, XnView freezes.

This seems ...
