0.51 win-x86: File(s) with Apostrophe in filenames

[budz45]

Hi,

There is a serious issue I just discovered when I double-click on a .jpg file in Win Explorer to open in XnViewMP that has the apostrophe character in filename ' '

The file cannot open. However when apostrophe is removed form filename then the file can open.

For example, download this attached file and double-click on the file in win explorer to open in MP. The file does not open

example picture.zip

XnView win 1.9x does not have this issue.

This is important to fix. Thanks Pierre.

This issue still exists in 0.53

To reproduce, you must drag & drop the file onto xnview.exe for the file to open but it is not getting opened in View simply because the filename contains apostrophe. This issue does not exist with XnView 1.9x (drag&drop to exe).

Ok the problem affects filenames with apostrophe at the beginning and end of filename

e.g. filename

Code: Select all

'cars123'.jpg

e.g. filename

Code: Select all

'babies in the office' addison lee_2mn45sec.png

Please fix.

Pierre, this is a serious Qt bug. Yes I hope you contacted them about this or else some XnView users that are creative in renaming of photos are going to be quite disappointed.

Thank you Pierre for cooperatively identifying this issue.

In 0.56,

This issue is now resolved for opening an image to view from Recent files, Browser, Drag & drop to view ...

...HOWEVER this issue still persists with opening the image with xnview.exe (double-click on file from Win Explorer or drag & drop file to xnview.exe)
