0.83: Shortcut thumbs for folders

Post by obelisk »

When in thumb mode, if I see a folder shortcut it doesn't show the images inside even though XnView Classic does

Can this be fixed, you can show folder thumbs, you understand what a folder shortcut is. You just need to show the thumbs like in the old xnv

Moved to "Bug Reports" forum. (I think any feature missing in XnView MP compared to XnView Classic is a bug - unless this feature has been deprecated on purpose).

So even though it says 0.83, it doesn't seem to work in 0.84.
Shortcuts sill just show an empty folder

There is some misunderstanding, obelisk:
Version number in topic title indicates the XnView version with the bug. Once this problem is fixed a new post will be added which informs about the bug fix.

I've just added this feature to the List of missing features (compared to XnView Classic).

Any plans for this? Looking at a screen of empty yellow folders, I'm better off going back to xnview classic (or even windows explorer!)

O.k., thank you, I can also reproduce the problem. Issue 1216 is fixed in next version.
