XnView Software

Here you can see an example of how the panel tabs disappear when you select a "broken" file.

Correct. I like to work with multiple instances of MP (sometimes 5 or 6) and have them open to different folders.
I wish MP could open multiple browser tabs...

Sorry, I AM using version .87, in fact.

Okay, I'm deleting all the cache. (Settings > Browser > Catalog > Delete all [button])

Okay, I deleted all the cache and the problem remains.

Here is another interesting thing: I'm not exactly sure what order I did things here... I wasn't in "debug mind" at that time. The first way went by copying from one MP to another MP, with renaming done in MP. The second way went by copying and renaming the files outside MP. screenshot_xnviewmp_036....

Another problem is this - I had a handful of image files and I renamed them in MP, but I guess MP had issues with one or two of them and didn't rename any of those files. I tried moving them between instances of MP and they dragged and dropped but didn't move. And this morning, when I started MP it ...

I already emailed the ini file to Pierre using the email address in his forum profile.

Any clue for this? It is happening a lot.
I can view the file in any program except XnView MP.

Pierre,

Okay, I tried this. I copied those files to the root of another disk.
I still can't open them. MP does not show their XIF, preview, histogram or anything except file properties - the other side tabs are all missing.

Pierre, yes - one for browser and one for the mp4 file. So the mp4 keeps playing in the tab until I "view" another file. If I double-click on a jpg then *that* opens in that second tab and the movie stops playing. But if I don't open another file in view mode, then the mp4 is locked because MP still...

With my camera I take a lot of photos and an occasional movie (mp4). Then I view them all the same in MP. So I double click on the files to view them - images and movies alike. I also don't use tabs - so I have the settings all set so there is only ever a single tab open and then I hide all tabs. Th...

When you are in browser mode (thumbnails) and you click the rotate button, the image is rotated and saved automatically. When you go into view mode and use the rotate button, and then advance to the next image, it does not auto-save. But I want it to auto-save and not ask me. Right now I have to rem...

Pierre, ah - that's a good test.
I am visiting my parents at the moment and won't be back to my desk for a week. When I get back I will be glad to test! Thanks.

Yes, with those two files - that's why I attached them...

No, I have it also with a single instance that was started when no other instances were running. I can set the tab value to -1, start MP and the favourites panel is showing fine. But when I close it, MP changes the tab value back to 4294967295 - but that doesn't seem to matter - the favourites panel...

No; there is no preview tab - all the tabs disappear except the Properties tab. Normally I would see: Preview, Properties, Histogram, EXIF, XMP and ExifTool. But for these I only get Properties. I downloaded about 20 files and only two or three of them are viewable.
