1.8.2: Browser startup directory

[karnak]

XnView: MP 1.8.2 64 bit
OS: Windows 10 64bit

XnView Browser does not start in the specified directory.

To reproduce:

• Open "Settings" dialog via menu or via default shortcut F12.
• Go to "General > Startup > Start without file"
• Check "Open browser"
• Specify some path for "Directory > Specified"
• Restart XnView

Additional note:

At startup the "Specified" radio button is grayed out until you select "None" or "Last" and then select again "Specified".

☑ Remember selected filename
is also required to reproduce 1st issue and
it also messing with 'None' option

it also selects nothing if multiple files have been selected

In this case, 'remember selected filename' must be ignored?

In this case, 'remember selected filename' must be ignored?

yes
if folder of selected file <> Last/Specified - ignore remembered selection

also, I would probably
- rework 'None' option
- add support for remembering selection of multiple files OR maybe just 1st file (or folder) in group

To recap, the current startup options are:

Start with file:

• Viewer in tab mode
• Viewer in fullscreen mode
• Browser in tab mode
• Browser in fullscreen mode

Start without file:

• Empty tab
• Browser at unspecified directory
• Browser at latest directory
• Browser at latest directory and remembering file selection
• Browser at specified directory
• Browser at specified directory and remembering file selection

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.8.3. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

I confirm that the issue with the startup options is fixed.
