1.95.x - XnView doesn't remember last folder

Post by EmFeNo »

XnView 1.95 and 1.95.1 don't remember the last folder even if configured to do so under Tools ⇨ Options ⇨ General ⇨ Startup ⇨ Startup Directory, neither Last Used nor Current options work.

Tried this with clean installations of the Complete version.

Thanks for your hard work.

When I exit XnView leaving the browser at My images folder (which is relocated in D:\My documents\My images\) and then re-open it, the browser shows either the C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\ or C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\ folder.
I'm using Windows XP 32-bit Home Edition SP3, if it helps.

Not really. But if the browser is set to ' Files of owner/My Pictures' it will reopen at 'My Files/My Pictures'. But these are identical on my machine, so...

Même probleme.

Seule solution pour y rédier ne pas cocher effacer effacer les fichiers et repertoires a la sortie (dans le menu interface).

it's a bad side effect of the change of option "Purge 'Most recently used files and dirs' on exit"

Yes, I activated that feature without suspecting it could cause a conflict with the other settings.

Thank you for your help!
