Navigation in Viewer is broken (Linux)

Post by winnylinny »

1. Visit a folder
2. Double-click a random image
3. Start to "navigate" to the next file with Viewer
4. Sometimes it will go back to the first file in the folder, and then continue like normal


XnViewMP 1.6.5

KDE Linux

UPDATE:

It appears to consistently happen if you open up the second file in the folder. :shock:

Instead of this:
2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 ...

This is what happens:
2 -> 1 -> 3 -> 4 ...

Do you mean in the Browser? I don't use the Browser. I double-click on a file to open it up in the Viewer.

Unless you are asking about something else?

I think the sort order set in the browser determines the order in which files are loaded when stepping through images in the viewer?

There's two things:

1. I'm not using the Browser

2. The "broken order" has a *consistency to it. (No pattern in regards to "time" or "size" or "name".)

I'm trying to find out what triggers this random bug. (Playing with a few different ideas.)


* If I double-click 2.jpg to open it up in the viewer, then I navigate to "next image"...

Instead of this (expected):
2.jpg -> 3.jpg -> 4.jpg -> 5.jpg ...

This is what happens (unexpected):
2.jpg -> 1.jpg -> 3.jpg -> 4.jpg ...

In the browser, try setting View > Sort by > Name -- Ascending and then check the order in which your images are displayed... :D
