Strange overwrite dialog behavior
Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2009 6:14 pm
Ugh... someone needs to take a look at the forum settings. Every single search I tried resulted in a forum error: The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words.
I tried 5 different searches, including a quoted phrase (that I assume would search on exact match): "Do you want to overwrite it"
Anyway, the issue I'm trying to solve is the behavior of the overwrite dialog. If I modify a picture and then try to go to the next picture in a directory, I am presented with a 'Saved changed File dialog' (as expected). When I click Yes, another dialog box opens, titled 'Question' with the message: The file <filename> already exists! Do you want to overwrite it?
This is where the strange behavior occurs. The dialog box shows Yes and No buttons. The Yes button appears to be highlighted with a dotted line, while the No button appears to be highlighted with a blue line.
Normally (in older versions of XnView), when I modify a file and move to the next file in the directory, I can quickly hit Enter twice and confirm the edit and save the changes very quickly. But what is happening now is that apparently the No button is actually selected in the above scenario. So changes are NOT getting saved when I change a file and hit Enter, Enter - because No appears to be selected.
I am forced to use the mouse to click Yes for the second window.
Normal XP theme will usually use both the dotted and blue outlines to indicate a button is highlighted/selected. For whatever reason, the Question dialog is highlighting both Yes and No, with No being the default selection. If I try to move selection with the arrow keys, the dotted line highlight moves to No (so No now looks correctly highlighted/selected). But as I said, pressing Enter without intervention is actually selecting the No button - NOT Yes as desired (and how XnView used to work for me). Also, If I move focus away from XnView while the Question dialog is displayed, then come back, Yes is now correctly highlighted and selected.
Can anyone repeat this? Is this a known issue?
