Re: 0.98: When app is open - Clicking on same file doesn't bring XnView MP to front of others

Yes, Allow only one instance of XnView.

Windows doesn't allow to an app to go in foreground

Re: 0.98: When app is open - Clicking on same file doesn't bring XnView MP to front of others
Im sorry Pierre but you're wrong.
Windows allow app to go in foreground. Your's previous version of XnView (NOT MP VERSION) works as expected.

Right, See issue for current status and some details.

I follow your software for at least 10 years.
If i not wrong i discovered this amazing software on a Windows XP Colossus edition (Disc 2). From this, i never change to another image viewer.
I waiting for next release to check.
Thanks Pierre. You are the best.

I updated and yes, bug persist. I notice the bug is related with xnview.exe minimized or not.stevehero wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 9:11 pm I've updated and the issue is still there.

How to reproduce with bug:
1. Open random image
2. select folder with images again and open another.
How to reproduce without bug:
1. Open random image
2. Minimize XnViewMP.exe (This is important)
3. Open another image and voilá, XnViewMP.exe brings to front!!!
Pierre, you're really close to solve. I hope on next build you solve this!!!

As EverGreen has said, I'm getting the same behaviour.
Re: 0.98: When app is open - Clicking on same file doesn't bring XnView MP to front of others
ok, a workaround is to minimize the app, Issue reopened
