XnView Software

hi,

Sorry to be recently overly-concerned with aesthetic of tabs in XnView MP. However;

When I open a high-resolution image file from "recent files" I always notice this tab growth 'jump' due to XnView MP having to render the 16x16 thumbnail in the last slowest phase.

This is the case with high-resolution or detailed/complicated graphic PNG images. Issue might possibly be related to long filepath's too.

I reproduced this issue with these two examples: I believe to simply fix this, is that every tab that opens in MP should always open to the tab size of a ghost 16x16 thumb and then when the thumbnail is ready to load then it will load and this should be so for really high-resolution pictures (e.g. 6000x5000 pixels or higher etc).
OR
Another alternative (I think) would be to load a simple blank 16x16 transparent image (GIF) as a blank-placeholder of a thumb on a tab
This is an example of a simple basic 16x16 transparent GIF needed: I added grey borderline on 16x16 for effect but borderline of course is not essential...
.....It would be for ALL and EVERY tab opening cases.

btw, I have always noticed this issue since early versions of XnView MP.

Thank you. Fixed in XnViewMP 0.48

(A blank 16x16 thumb placeholder (black color) is now shown in XnViewMP 0.48 tabs for the non-speedy image tab thumbnails, awesome.)
