Startup: Wrong folder shown

Post by nji9 »

When starting MP there is shown a selection of images that reflects
some folder having opened once ago... but in a strange way.

Scenario:
Category Filter pane (Match global): Click some category.
Result: Items are shown.
Close MP.
Open again.
Categorie Filter Pane is shown; nothing selected, but the images shown
are of a folder opened in the past.

More strange:
Continued from above:
Switch to "Folders".
Click any one.
Result: The images of that folders are shown.
Now switch to Catalog Filter.
... and do the same as above.
Result when Open again:
Again the images of the 1st folder mentioned above are shown!
I.e. not the images of the folder recently opened.

yes, normal. Last folder is always opened at startup Settings>Startup

Yes, I know that. :)
You got me wrong, as MP doesn't do just that.

More detailed this time:

OpenMP w/o file
=> Catalog Filter pane is active. Browser shows folderA
Now: switch to "Folders", Select folderB, switch to "Catatog Filters", Select some category
=> Browser shows images assigned with that category
Close MP, Reopen
=> Catalog Filter pane is active. Browser shows folderA
Expected: Browser shows folderB .
