1.12.2. Startup bug - XnVMP instantly closes itself

Post by Stock »

:bug: After upgrading to 1.12.2 I can't start XnViewMP anymore. It instantly closes again.
So I started experimenting:

Workaround A
If I delete my xnview.ini, the program starts, but I don't want to comb through all the settings and recreate them all over again.

Workaround B
I've re-installed 1.12.1 and this version starts perfectly well with my xnview.ini

I've attached the xnview.ini so you can test things yourself.

System:
Windows11 26H2 64bit
XnViewMP 1.12.2 x64

It looks like the startup bug that was fixed with 1.12.1 is back with 1.12.2.

Same problem. XnViewMP 1.12.2 on Windows 11 26H2 x64.
If I run xnviewmp.exe app close immediately. Only short blink in taskbar.
But images open fine, and browser mode after open image work fine

upd: Found source of my problem. Because of this string in [Start] section:

Code: Select all

startBrowser=false
Removing it solves my problems.
p.s. Stock has the same line

hi
I just updated to 1.12.2, and there is a small but noticeable lag when launching the app. Before the update, it started immediately. Now it takes about one second to start.
