XnView Software

I am not sure if this is a bug or settings issue, but XNView (including the latest 1.90) behaves strangely under Remote Desktop (Windows XP Terminal services).

The problem is with the XNView browser - when you open a folder, it actually redraws the thumbnails 3 times. One time when it loads the thumbnails - draws them from the top of the screen, and two more times, after all thumbnails are loaded, but from the bottom of the screen. Almost the same happens when you scroll the thumbnails.

I have tried different settings - turning on and off the synchronization with the folder tree and some others, but with no success. I have turned off the thumbnail cache.

So the question is did anyone else noticed this behaviour and are there any settings to make XNView browser draw the thumbnails only once?

You can easily test this with a folder of images taken from a digital camera for example, because it takes comparatively longer to load the thumbnails initially.

Try to enable Option/File list/all other files
But it's strange that thumbnails are painted 3 times when you scroll???

I have tested "every which way" with my remote TS connection and cannot verify this report. XnView 1.9 behaves as expected in the TS window.

Perhaps hardware performance is an issue? Slow connection? Slow computers?

Probably it is not a hardware problem - I haven't done a clean install of XnView recently, I will first try to test with the default settings and then see what causes this behavior. I will keep the current xnview.ini file, so I can sent it to you to look at my settings.
