open from network
If i open an image lying on a network drive, it'll open a new program window in order to display it, instead of opening in in the current one.
Not here---

I cannot confirm. Here, I open a picture from a network-drive directly in "View" in the same window…
- For instance, I opened : \\Claude33\DGROS6\Images\Bearz___Close_up.jpg, while the mounted corresponding drive is visible as U: in the tree of the "Open…" dialogue-box, no problem.

Re: open from network
Could you be more specific. Do you mean that when you open picture in windows explorer, it opens the picture in new XnView process (and you use the Only one instance option). Or do you mean that you use the XnView browser to open the image...Danny wrote:If i open an image lying on a network drive, it'll open a new program window in order to display it, instead of opening in in the current one.

Please specify how do you open the file.Danny wrote:If i open an image lying on a network drive, it'll open a new program window in order to display it, instead of opening in in the current one.

Still can't confirm, with scanning headers option "never" and "only on fixed disks".Danny wrote:Found out what's causing it. You have to disable scanning of headers (only on fixed disks).
But first make sure your cache is empty or turned off.
Please explain more. What Windows do you have?
BTW - I found another bug

Have you emptied your cache and disabled it?Dreamer wrote:Still can't confirm, with scanning headers option "never" and "only on fixed disks".Danny wrote:Found out what's causing it. You have to disable scanning of headers (only on fixed disks).

Still the same thing with beta3. Once again the required settings:
- image from somewhere on the network
- scanning of headers disabled
- cache disabled
- browser NOT in thumbnail view (header of the file must NOT be scanned already (no colored backgrond behind the filename))
If you now open an image it'll open in a new program window. Tried with a completely new installation of beta3. Don't open the folder containing the files before you have made all the settings mentioned above!

I just did that and still got the same thing. I deactivated scanning of headers and the cache, switched to list mode, opened a folder which i had never opened before, opened an image within that folder and got the mentioned bug.Xyzzy wrote:Danny, can you try with renaming INI before starting XnView?
