Regression since 1.7.2: Prompt for save on exit when nothing was edited

Post by metal450 »

New bug since updating from 1.7.2 to 1.8.3 on Windows. If I:

* Double-click a jpg in Windows Explorer (to launch XnView)
* Double-click to the photo viewer to switch to "Browse" mode
* Select All (in XnView Browser)
* Cut
* Paste to another folder in Windows Explorer
* Quit XnView
* On quit, it asks me if I want to save changes to one of the files. I definitely didn't do any edits. The only operations, from launch of xnview to exit, were above. I reproduced this many times.

I wonder if it could be related to viewtopic.php?f=62&t=47455, which still persists in 1.8.3. Maybe whatever it thinks was edited is what's preventing the folder from being deleted.

Glad to see there's a config option to revert this buggy-looking behavior. Can't even conceive of why this would be intentional...
