1.11.5 - Tab thumbnails display ellipses on vertical images

[woot000]

On Windows 11 24H2, XnView MP 1.11.5 will erroneously display an ellipsis on tab thumbnails for images with am aspect ratio larger than 1.33 (height wise).

From left to right: 300x400, 300x401 (ellipses start here), 300x450, 300x500, 300x600, 300x6000)

I have attached the images I used above in a ZIP file for reference.

Fix your "Max width" in Settings:Interface:Tabs.

Fix your "Max width" in Settings:Interface:Tabs.

I have the tab's max width set to 4 characters on the screenshot in my original post (which I believe is the default, as I don't remember changing it to a value that small).
Setting the max width to any value (characters or pixels) does not change how the image tabs look at all if they're set to show either thumbnails or icons (I checked, no ellipses appear for icons. This bug only affects thumbnails), only when "Display" is set to "None" does it make a difference.

No, the default is 20 characters. 4 is absurd.

Change your max width to 20 characters, or 50 characters, click OK, and restart the app. If correcting that setting doesn't work, rename your xnview.ini file and start from scratch. You'll see the tabs display normally. Then if you want to pursue it, you can post your old xnview.ini file and it can be looked it.

I tested with your files, and tabs displayed normally with proper settings.

Moved my xnview.ini file and the default setting do not contain the ellipses in the tab thumbnail. I decided to do some digging to see what settings could be causing this, and I believe the combination of setting "tabIconify=true" in "[%General]" (no filenames alongside image thumbnails in tabs) and "style=-2"/"style=-4" in "[Start]" (Dark theme/Grey theme) is the exact cause of ellipses appearing in tab thumbnails.

Creating an xnview.ini with these settings and opening a tall image reproduces this bug on my end:

Code: Select all

[Start]
style=-2

[%General]
tabIconify=true

The ellipses do not appear in tab thumbnails if the theme is set to "Light" or "Black", so this is a problem only with the "Dark" and "Grey" themes.
