XnView MP happens to hang 50% CPU process after closing

[xnview]

could you send me some sample files?

From time to time it happens that XnView MP remains somehow locked as a background process, consuming exactly 50% CPU processor in task manager.

I have the same problem with an infinite background process. Program version - 0.68 (May 19 2014), platform - Windows 7 32bit. Any solution?

when using the browser? viewer?

Usually I use the viewer in fullscreen mode. I don't use the xnViewMp browser and open image files directly from my file manager switching to the next or previous image with mouse scroll or PgUp-PgDn. To close the viewer I press ESC twice (to exit fullscreen and then to close the viewer window).

could you try to disabled settings>Misc>View>Read one image ahead?

could you try to disabled settings>Misc>View>Read one image ahead?

Yes, it helps. I can't repeat the situation with the infinite background process if "read one image ahead" option is disabled. But the problem appears again if I turn the option back. Thank you!

Most probably because "read one image ahead" spawns a separate thread which tries to read the image. This thread isn't cleared when the application closes and the thread remains in an infinite loop waiting from a command which will never come anymore from his (dead) master.

do you have RAW files in the folder?

do you have RAW files in the folder?

No, I haven't. The folder contains some "*.png" files only. File example: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/251 ... xample.png

strange, not really a big picture file, if you activate again 'read ahead', same problem?
