Closer to a path to reproduce:
The good news is it's linked to the printer.
On my desktop at home (XP-SP2/Epson RX500 whatever on or off) I can reproduce 99% (see bellow). If I change the default printer to Windows FAX, I can't. Just switching from one printer to the other, open Xnview select a picture, print button and crash /or see the dialog.
On my personal laptop (XP-SP2, HP 710 not connected) I can't trigger the crash.
Apparently it has nothing to do with repository (I agree with Helmut's remark: Desktop isn't virtual). I tried in All users...\documents\temp. also in C:\Support. No noticable influence.
Nothing to do with either the size of image, the Qty of image, the mixup with video clips, image having metadata or not. Same reaction. Now I use the folder with the 4 samples provided with XP.
How to:
- Set the "bad printer" as default,
- start Xnview and select a folder (samples),
- close Xnview, restart it after a few seconds,
- select pictures and print button,
To see the print dialog after a crash:
After restarting Xnview select another folder, select on or more picture and click the slideshow button. Close the slide dialog, select pictures again and print button. Sometime, just changing the folder you can print.
Additional remark: On my desktop, if I start XnView from a new unzipped, the current view is always the XnView' folder from where it started (Xnview 1.84 is installed on that and use the .ini file). On my laptop, a new package shows the last folder browsed during my last trial (Xnview 1.84 never been installed on this PC). From where does it retrieve the path !?
Hope this helps, regards,
Daniel

But it's linked to user level. With a standard account Xnview do not start in the previous folder.
