OpenWith not triggering until click the image in thumbnails view.

Post by FKCapitalism2 »

This is placeholder for bug because i don't know yet how t re-produce it every time, but i had it happen to me multiple times randomly when i click Alt+1 nothing happens when this action is assigned to open with Photoshop.

Basically when i have image open full screen view and then click Alt+1 nothing happens if i double click and switch to thumbnails view with current image being selected then pressing Alt+1 nothing happens, only if i click on thumbnail in thumbnail view Alt+1 starts to work.

Will look for how to re-produce it.

I still can't find a way to reproduce this, but i get this bug too often.

Only reliable fix is to right click and select Open With > Photoshop (Alt+1) then it always opens and after that Alt+1 starts to work again.

Please inspect code for some reason Alt+1 stops working after window re-focused or something.

I only able to get this bug in the middle of workflow, don't know exactly how it happens, but once hotkey stops working only way to make it work again is either close external program that was triggered by hotkey e.g. Photoshop or use right click menu to run command again then it works every time.

Feels like it has to do with the way XnViewMP handles the resources sometimes it opens the external app and its somehow tied to it, but again same as with folder deletion problem we discussed earlier, when Right Click menu used it works, but when hotkey it does not very strange.
