XnView Software

Hi everybody,

I'm testing Win7 RC right now (Build 7100, german, x64). So far, I've found some hardware
and software which doesn't work at all, or not as expected.

One program I'm having a problem/question with is XnView.

With XP or Vista I could highlight a folder in the folder column, press F2 or right-click it, and
then rename it.

In Win7 this doesn't work. No reaction to the F2 key, and the rename option after a right click
is greyed out.

Is this known, or does anybody know a fix? Thank you!

Rename menu item is greyed???

I can confirm this behaviour , I have the same build, also for 64 bit,
I though may be this has to do something with permissions,
but the same happens whe you start Xnview with administrator rights !!

That is correct. Rename option is not available.

Edit: Windows 7 RC x86 (32bit) is having the same problem.

You mean rename in the folder tree view?

Yes , in the browser mode , at the list of folders that is,
the field where the thumbs are displayed and the preview-field
does have the ability to rename the image,
and is working properly !

Strange, here i ask the system to know if this item can be renamed.

OK ,

remember this is just a release candidate,
could be a bug ,
I wouldn't pay too much attention at this moment

I have the same bug using XNview 1.96.1 under Windows 7 RC x32 French running into Virtual-PC 2007.

I test this strange bug with XNView MP v0.12 and all is OK: there's no problem with 'rename folder' or 'F2' function key...

I think also it come from the RC version because I found another strange bug with this version of Windows:
* capture a screen-shot
* import the clipboard in Xnview
* in Xnview, save it as 'file.jpg' in the root destination of the principal hard disk ( C:\ )

Open the Window's 7 browner: it shows no 'file.jpg' located at root ( C:\ ) !

Try to save this screen-shot in another folder ( i.e C:\ESSAI\file.jpg ) and all is OK with the Window's browner ...

Sorry for the late comment, I was away for a few days.

Same here, works as expected.

Happens here, too. But I don't think this is necessarily a bug in Win7 RC, I suspect that MS changed some API functions
or calls or their parameters. But I'm not a programmer, that's a thing Pierre has to find out ... and report to MS if he finds
anything.

Hi all,

I just want to let you all know that this issue is fixed with V 1.96.2!
