Browser/Viewer
issues with audio files

To reproduce:
0. prerequisite:
- 4 test files in folder (2 images, 2 mp3)
- XnViewMP with default settings
1. double click 1.png in windows file explorer
it opens in Viewer, status bar shows [1/4] files

Issue A
2. scroll to the end and back to the 1st file
audio files are visible as per Custom filter in Settings>Browser>File list>Custom filter
however,
- sometimes audio files are shown without playbar or without cover image (just black space).
- Also if playbar is visible, cover image is stretched to fit screen. Guess it should stay in original size OR follow Viewer's autozoom settings

Issue B
2. press Enter to open folder in Browser mode
3. click on audio file (eg 2.mp3), than on another audio file
sometimes browser's preview does not show cover image

Issue C
2. press Enter to open folder in Browser mode
3. double click last image file to open it in Viewer
it opens, but if you try to scroll through files, audio files will not be in file list, status bar shows [1/2] files

Issue D
2. press Enter to open folder in Browser mode
3. double click on 2.mp3 to open it in Viewer
it opens, but you cannot scroll to next/prev file, status bar shows [1/2] files

It seems that cache load mp3 as image, if you disable it, no problem...

Issue B
2. press Enter to open folder in Browser mode
3. click on audio file (eg 2.mp3), than on another audio file
sometimes browser's preview does not show cover image

I've always thumbnail for 2.mp3 but never for 3.mp3

Issue C
2. press Enter to open folder in Browser mode
3. double click last image file to open it in Viewer
it opens, but if you try to scroll through files, audio files will not be in file list, status bar shows [1/2] files

I can't reproduce with 1.5.3

Issue D
2. press Enter to open folder in Browser mode
3. double click on 2.mp3 to open it in Viewer
it opens, but you cannot scroll to next/prev file, status bar shows [1/2] files

I can't reproduce with 1.5.3

yep, playbar is always visible if cache is disabled in Settings>View>Misc,
however, app's default settings sould not cause such issues
also 3.mp3 still has no cover

Issue B
2. press Enter to open folder in Browser mode
3. click on audio file (eg 2.mp3), than on another audio file
sometimes browser's preview does not show cover image

I've always thumbnail for 2.mp3 but never for 3.mp3

• 2.mp3
  in Browser - click on 3.mp3, than click on 2.mp3 - repeat few times
  - sometimes Preview is black, but cover appears once xnview window is out of focus or Preview/app window resized

• 3.mp3
  - Preview is always black

Issue E
once 'Read one image ahead' (Settings>View>Misc) is disabled - thumbnails stop showing mp3 covers
enabling it and app restart does not fix this issue

It's not related, thumbnail comes from windows in this case
