Show colour info not saved…
Hello !
• I enabled "Show colour information" in the View menu.
- After close¦restart the nick is removed. I'm bound to reset that entry each time, it's quite exasperating.
- It was saved in the previous versions, even 1.90 A3.
- I always use it, please, restore that saving.

Hi Claude,
It's a new feature, suggested in this support topic. I also found it quite annoying.
A typical example, when you check colour once in a while:
- turn tooltip on
- close image...
- ...start, later on, XnView and get that tooltip you don't want and forgot about
- ask for help in the forum...
It would be best for most users not to revert to the previous setting. There could be a better solution based on Helmut's suggestion.

As discussed in other posts, there was a need to change the standard behaviour of the colour info since this has been annoying and confusing for many people.
So this is not a bug, but a newly introduced feature. With the side effect that some users (e.g. Clo) cannot continue to work the way they are used to.
Depending on Pierre's resources he could introduce some options (with or without user interface). Or we just leave it as it is in Beta 1 and postpone further actions to next release.

I don't understand at all what "normal" is related to because it is not self explanatory. I think that "1" means Tooltip won't be kept if I close XnView or if I just close the Window (but I am not 100% sure because I have to guess what is "not (Prev/Next)").xnview wrote:ColorInfo in [View]
0: Normal
1: Keep only with prev/next file
2: Keep always
So, if I understand correctly:
- 0 = ON for current image only
- 1 = ON for current window only
- 2 = Always ON
I find the difference between 0 and 1 too small to be useful. I prefer Helmut's version that uses 'Current Window'/'Current session'/'Always'. His wording is also quite accurate.

0 - Not kept

… Plus a comment explaining that the behaviour has been changed.ColorInfo= Flag
0 : Default. Works only for the current viewed image when you tick the box in the “View” menu.
1 : Works also for the previous¦next file to view.
2 : Permanent as soon as the box is ticked in the “View” menu. Saved through the sessions.
