XnView Software

Complicated to describe this bug that exists in every 1.90 I have tested. I have set to open XnView in Edit View, and the browser diplays the list as Thumbnails with Labels. Now try the following:
- Open an image in a folder with lots of images on a slow network drive (e.g. via WLAN) -> Edit View opens.
- Press Ctrl-B to switch to browser

Now normally the list with all thumbnails opens. In this case however no thumbnails are shown, only the parent folder's icon.

Yes, very strange that you have not the last backslash... But can't reproduce it.
You have always this problem?

Yes, I always have, its 100% reproducable with WLAN_g on my notebook, no matter if I open a folder from the notebook on my desktop-computer or from the desktop-computer on my notebook. I guess it depends on the network speed. Hard to simulate, I know. But very annoying.
Maybe you can simulate by putting a hard load on your network by copying a very big file or something like that.

I've tested, and can't reproduce it In the title bar, when you click on browse or Ctrl+B you see immediately ..\menu_lang1 not ..\menu_lang1\???

Pierre I appreciate your efforts. I get the last backslash-missing path immediately when I press Ctrl-B, yes.

I'll do more testing and will try to give you more info what exactly happens. Please let me know if there is a debug output or something I can use to give you more info in that issue.

No, but if you can't find more info, i'll send you a debug version

@negg: Could you do a test for me which is NOT related to your current problem:

1.) View images and files in detail view (View > View as > Thumbnails)
2.) Browse a folder on the network with files.
-> Does it take long till the files are shown or are they shown immediately?

(You can reply here, I'll split this post and your reply into another topic, later).

And do you have the same problem with 1.82.4?

Folder with ~ 800 images (mostly digicam images about 1.5 MB), folder was opened before, typical WLAN speed around 15 kbit: it took about 5 seconds until the thumbnails popped up for a splitsecond, disappeared again for about 2 seconds and were finally displayed. No heavy network activity during that time, so I guess the thumbnails came from cache.

This test was done opening an image by doubleclicking in explorer, then pressing ctrl-b in xnview to switch to thumbnail list. I noticed that the list of thumbnails appears almost immediately when I already am in the browser (in the parent folder) and open the folder containing the lots of images there.

Hope this helps!

No, I don't. Works fine there. More infos:

- Can't reproduce the error on WLAN currently (noticed this while doing the test for helmut). Maybe the speed is too good here right now.

- Tried on a VPN over 2 MBit DSL, error appears. Noticed there however, that the last backslash appears in the application titlebar for a splitsecond, then disappears there, too.

In Option/General/startup - mode when starting, what do you have?

Mode when starting with a file: Normal

Could you try with B6 if you have always the problem?

Yeah, sorry. The problem still exists in B6.
