1.8.3: When comparing images, activating "Info" label doesn't show rating (included in the information set) correctly

[KLE-France]

XnView: MP 1.8.3 (but present for some time now) - 64 bit
OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit

In XnView MP's "Compare" function, users can check the "Info" box to bring up the information as set up at Tools > Settings > View > Info.

At Tools > Settings > View > Info, I have "Rating" included in the information set. Opening an image in the normal View mode and calling up the Info overlay indeed shows the image's rating, as expected.

But this does not happen in the Compare function. When I check the "Info" box there, the Info overlay appears, the rating line is there, but it reads: "Rating: 0-star" regardless of what the real rating for the image is.

Effect: Just kinda frustrating that it doesn't work; nothing more than that.

To reproduce:
1. Add "Rating" at Tools > Settings > View > Info
2. Make sure that images have ratings applied (my database is kept up to date)
3. Select at least two images and activate the "Compare" function (button, menu, keyboard shortcut)
4. Check the "Info" box (or click on the word)
Actual behaviour (bug): "Rating" will read "Rating: 0-star" whatever the actual rating of the image may be.

Expected behaviour: "Rating" should read "Rating: 0/1/2/3/4/5-star" according to what the actual rating of the image is.

As always, thanks in advance!

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

This problem also affects {File Index} and {Tag status}. In compare view, info view, neither show. They do show in the individual image view.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.8.4. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

Unfortunately version 1.8.4 fixes the problem for the {Rating} tag, bud does not fix the problem for {File Index} and {Tag Status}. If I include either of those tags in Settings > View > Info, the information still does not appear in compare view. It does appear in the individual image view (open).

In a possibly related bug, in compare view if I right click on one of the images and change the rating or color code, the info panel does not update with the new values but continues to show the old values. In contrast, from the individual image view, if I change the rating or color code, those values immediately update in the info panel.

Note that in the individual view, you cannot change rating or color from the right click menu, you must use the menu bar. I find the inconsistent menu bars and right-click menus to be confusing. Between browser, individual, and compare views, they are all different.

Thanks,
