I did some testing by deleting folders from the left pane and counting them as I went.

When I was about to delete the 13th folder, 11 of the folders suddenly reappeared in the list. This is really... quite amazing. Only one folder actually ended up in the Recycle Bin.

XnView MP is really great, but because of this issue, I’m still using FastStone Image Viewer.

One drawback of FastStone is that when deleting a folder from the left pane, you can’t simply press the Delete key. You have to right-click the folder and then click Delete.

If this issue were fixed, I think XnView MP could directly replace software such as FastStone and ACDSee.

My operating system is Windows 11, and I’m using the portable version.

Sorry about my previous answer regarding AppImage. I thought you were referring to the portable version for Windows.

I’m really sorry about the misunderstanding. My English is terrible, so I rely entirely on AI for translation.

ok, so it's not the main problem.
So on Windows 11 & XnView 1.11.6, you delete folder in folder view, but these folders are not removed and reappear in the folder view, right?
