Viewer - single instance app - window minimizes/restores on file open

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.4.3 64bit
Windows11 (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%


Viewer - single instance app
window minimizes/restores on file open

Issue
To reproduce:
1. run clean portable XnViewMP
2. goto Settings>General
- set 'Allow only one instance of XnView'
3. close app
4. from windows file explorer
- open same image multiple times OR few image files, one by one
on each open app's window will blink,
it looks like app:
- minimizes to taskbar (to the lower left corner), than
- restores from taskbar, returning to previous window size/position


Suggestion
since there are no any weird window manipulations when image opened from Browser tab,
I assume, it shall be possible to avoid such minimize/restore behaviour with 'Allow only one instance of XnView' setting as well
