1.9.5 Image Browser behavior when adding new files
Posted: Fri Nov 07, 2025 3:35 pm
Hello,
(This is borderline bug/unwanted behavior)
I browse an image folder with XnView. Every 2-3 seconds a new image is added to the folder by an external script I use to generate images.
As soon as a new image is added, the XnView browser scrolls down to highlight the new image.
If I scroll up to try to find an image, XnView will take me back down again when a new image is added to the folder (thereby losing my position in the gallery).
Makes sense?
Ideal behavior: XnView should not completely reset the current scroll position/view when the contents of the folder change slightly.
