XnView Software

Saving a file under a new name does not work correctly if the path contains a dot.
Example: Given a path such as home/XYZ.fr/somepath/
From the browser open the image home/XYZ.fr/somepath/somefile.jpg
Save the image using SaveAs.
The folder dialog correctly defaults to home/XYZ.fr/somepath/ with the image name default to somefile.jpg
Name the new image newimage.jpg
XnView does not save the file to home/XYZ.fr/somepath/newimage.jpg
Instead it saves the file to home/XYZ.jpg
You need to parse the path from the end to find the delimiting dot, not from the start

Side effect: The browser loses the active folder during this operation.

Pierre, thanks for 0.69!!!

This bug which I reported for 0.61 seems to have slipped through your notes. It's still in 0.69 - and it's annoying

Dietmar

do you have always the bug with lastest version?

Pierre, I just checked with Version 0.84 x64 (Jan 17 2017) running under Ubuntu and yes, the bug is still there: I open any image (png in this case), select save-as, select a folder with a dot in its name like ABC.DE, and the file is saved in that folder's parent directory under ABC.png.

Thank you for checking, dietmar.

@Pierre: Could you please try to reproduce the problem, again?

O.k., thank you, I can also reproduce the problem. Issue 1156 is fixed in next version.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.85 beta 1. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.
