Unable to Add Open File Item to Toolbar in XnView 1.98.8

I am running XnView 1.98.8 on three computers; two that run Windows XP,
and one running Windows 7.

I have found that I cannot add the Open File item to the toolbar from the
user interface in this version. While I am able to delete items or move
them around on the toolbar, I cannot successfully create a new Open File
item. This is reproducible on all three machines.

To duplicate the issue, perform the following steps.

1. From the main menu bar, select tools > options > interface > toolbar.

2. Click on browser. You will see that the drop-down command list is
unavailable at this point.

3. Click on append. From the drop-down command list, select cmd_Open [Open..].
You will note that the icon for the Open command appears at the end of
the toolbar preview line.

4. Highlight the icon, then Click the left-arrow to move it to the desired
position on the toolbar, then click OK.

5. Close and restart XnView. You will note that instead of the Open icon
appearing where it should, XnView instead displays a separator at that
position.

I do notice that if I try to add other commands, such as Capture, I am
able to do so successfully. Other commands apparently need an external
icon file, which I don't have on hand at this point.

If anyone can verify this on their system, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Regards,

Thomas

Confirmed. Editing settings by hand produces same result. [Browser Toolbar] button##=0 gets reset to button##=-1

Hi again marsh.

I'm seeing this issue also in 1.99 with the "Old Toolbar" skin. I haven't tried any
other skins yet, but I plan to. Am I using the correct procedure to add the icon?

Thanks.

Oops!

Finally found the release notes in the program directory. It's not mentioned, so
I will check back on this again in the next version.
