Fullscreen problem with short dos filenames

Post by Just Passing »

Hello. (using 1.90 RC3 but seems to same for previous versions)

XnView can't copy with the short dos filename convention very well.

Set "Mode when starting with a file" to "Fullscreen - Browser".
I have a picture in C:\Vince\mylongfolder\picture.png
At the command line start XnView with a file using the short filename convention:

"C:\Vince\Apps\XnView-rc3\xnview.exe" C:\Vince\MYLONG~1\picture.png

This incorrectly starts XnView in browser mode.

Using option "Mode when starting with a file" to "Fullscreen - Edit" works fine - the image opens fullscreen.

(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.3)

Thanks,
Vince.
p.s. great app!
