Fullscreen problem with short dos filenames

Hello. (using 1.90 RC3 but seems to same for previous versions)

XnView can't copy with the short dos filename convention very well.

Set "Mode when starting with a file" to "Fullscreen - Browser".
I have a picture in C:\Vince\mylongfolder\picture.png
At the command line start XnView with a file using the short filename convention:

"C:\Vince\Apps\XnView-rc3\xnview.exe" C:\Vince\MYLONG~1\picture.png

This incorrectly starts XnView in browser mode.

Using option "Mode when starting with a file" to "Fullscreen - Edit" works fine - the image opens fullscreen.

(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.3)

Thanks,
Vince.
p.s. great app!
