Hello !

• Yes, a trivial one !

- I also tested with a folder having sub-dirs in which not any file has this kind of info, to ensure me that's not intentional…

- However, as soon as you open any of these sub-folders, the overlay icons go away and don't come back…
…till the next session !

I can't confirm that behavior. Is caching enabled on your installation, Clo?

• Yes, the thumbs cache is “ON” here.

OK, when I enable caching, I get the same behavior as reported by you.

Hello !

• While checking the oddity reported by budz45 THERE, I found another side of the bug reported here :

1. In the Browser, display a bunch of files having not any metadatum, i.e. some icons in a small folder,
2. Set the display as List+Detail
3. Create a descript.ion file for any icon.
• In the Info column of this (text) file, you have XMP - IPTC - Exif overlay icons !

Do you have db cache?
Do you have same problem with clean db?

Do you have db cache?
Do you have same problem with clean db?

I'm using XnViewMP v0.38.7 of 22/Jul/2011 with caching disabled (portable mode).

• Tools » Settings... » Browser » Cache DB
  • » Thumbnails » Enable thumbnail caching = deactivated
    » Excluded/Included = all drives/partitions excluded

%ProgramFiles%\XnViewMP\XnView.db is 22,528 bytes in size.

There was a problem with previous DB, if you remove it, same problem?

Yes

I always do a “clean” (= from scratch) install of XnView and XnViewMP.
I even remove the Trolltech registry settings.

But you tell me that your db is 22,528 bytes in size??? Try by removing the file?
You have that on all folders?
