Re: Windows 10
I have been using it through the upgrade to Windows 10, three weeks.
Something strange did happen this past week that may or may not be attributable to XNView:
While viewing directory contents of a Western Digital USB 3.0 external hard drive in Details mode, I came across a file that was duplicated in a subdirectory. So I tried to delete this particular file.
Current external hard drives tend to spin down very soon after activity dies down. So I get a lot of "Not Responding" in XNView whenever I spend any time just browsing the directory contents, from Windows 7 to Windows 10.
The problem this time was I had just tried to move this handful of files to a subdirectory, and one file had a duplicate resident. When I tried to delete, I got the "Not Responding". I expected the warning to go away soon.
After nearly a minute had passed, the file, THE directory and all its subdirectories had disappeared. GONE! Since my attempt to delete included the 'Skip the Recycle Bin' step (with the SHIFT key), I did not expect to see anything in the Recycle Bin; it was empty.
Not sure what happened. While exploring possibilities, I immediately reinstalled XNView on a separate upgraded system as a precaution; XNView worked coming out of the upgrade. There were about 20 viewed images in their separate tabs. I've since disabled that option in the reinstalled system, in case memory management was the source of conflict between XNView and Windows 10.
XnView works fine otherwise.
I am in the looong process of recovering that directory at the moment. (Less than 5% through.)

Re: Windows 10
In win10 "single-user" settings storage doesn't actually work as expected. When run as an administrator, the .ini file is created in Program Files, but when run as a user, it is created again in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\XnView

XnView has not the rights to write in Program Files, so you need to use 'User'krom wrote:In win10 "single-user" settings storage doesn't actually work as expected.
