0.64 win-x86: bad Properties window after delete image file

Post by budz45 »

Hi,

I just discovered a small GUI bug in XnViewMP but I think this might be an 'old' bug that has never been recognized untill now.

reproduction;

1.) In Windows Explorer, create a New Folder in any directory
2.) Put any Two JPG image files into this new folder
3.) Double-click just One of the JPG files (to open in XnView MP)
4.) Go back to the folder in Win Explorer....
5.) ..Now Delete the same image file that is currently opened in XnView MP..
6.) ..XnView MP recognizes the file no longer exists now the view switches to next JPG image...However...
7.) ...Now press "Properties" command
8.) ...Blank display of "Properties" window (BUG)

Still NOT fixed in XnViewMP 0.68

Pierre, I have discovered something good.....If a user presses the commands 'Next' or 'Previous' file after Step 6 but before Step 7 of my Reproduce then the Properties window gets displayed as normal. So to fix this, I think XnViewMP should have an internal auto-process that would auto press Next/Prev just once to trigger the reload. Try it.

you use this way to reproduce
1.) In Windows Explorer, create a New Folder in any directory
2.) Put any Two JPG image files into this new folder
3.) Double-click just One of the JPG files (to open in XnView MP)
4.) Go back to the folder in Win Explorer....
5.) ..Now Delete the same image file that is currently opened in XnView MP..
6.) ..XnView MP recognizes the file no longer exists now the view switches to next JPG image...However...
7.) ...Now press "Properties" command
8.) ...Blank display of "Properties" window (BUG)

I can reproduce this.

I think that we must stress that the problem is in the View mode and not in the Browse mode.

Also that the file is deleted from outside (Windows Explorer) and not from XnView.
