Linux - Main window moves with adjustment window

Post by hako »

I am using v0.89 appimage on Ubuntu 18.04 64 bit. When I want to adjust a picture (etc via image > adjust > levels), a window opens where I can change the settings. If I move this window, the underlying picture window also moves. The adjustment window hides the picture window making the adjustment a blind flight.
In an earlier version the same thing happened, but another previous version worked correctly.
Unfortunately, I cannot remember which version was ok.

N.B.: Version 0.90 does not let me access files on another drive (in Linux mounted via /mnt/dir), only the home folder can be used. Also a problem that occurred on earlier versions, but not in 0.89.

So, which version should I try to get a usable xnviewmp?

but there is no change here, you can't go to /mnt/dir folder?

I am using version 0.89 appimage
Screenshot see attached: Trying to move the adjustment window out of the way, so that the picture gets visible, fails, because the main window moves with the sub-window. It is also not possible to get the picture window to the foreground, i.e. in front of the adjustment window.

I tried version 0.90, installed via snap (no appimage available). In that version I cannot access drives mounted via /mnt/something. xnviewmp 0.90 complains about lacking permission.On top of that, the a.m. window problem also occurs.

I guess there are different versions of dependencies used, but it can be that an earlier version would work. Do you have any idea which one I should try? Or, is there a setting I can try?

It seems that it's a setting in window manager

Thank you very much! I found the window setting. My main problem is solved.
The other problem with version 0.90 I'll try to reproduce later, I need to install it.
Btw., is an appimg planned for 0.90?
