1.99 - xnviewmp will show endless animation of the progress bar, if 7zip, zip or rar archives are in the folder

[masterjp]

First thank you for the latest release of XnViewMP.
I am very happy about the monthly updates for your great software.

In your latest version 1.99 I see an endless animation of the progress bar in the browser window.
My drive D: is already scanned, but the progress bar stay at 0 % (percent).
The bar is refreshing or flashing.
I hope the picture can show the problem. It only happened in folders, where you can find 7zip, rar and zip files.
The size of the archive files is not important.

I cleared the whole thumbnail database, but it does not help.

If I move the rar files to another folder, I do not get any problems.
Why does XnViewMP endless scan the compressed archive files?
The archive files does not have any password protection.
I can open them in XnviewMP and XnViewMP show me the files within the archive file.

Windows 11 64bit - all updates
