XnView MP 0.84 b3 on Windows 7

In search dialog (Tools > Search), the path name is displayed with slash (e.g. C:/Windows/). On Windows systems, paths should always be displayed using backslash (e.g. C:\Windows\).

right i'll fix it

Thank you for fixing this in v0.84.

There are three more instances:
- In Batch rename dialog, output path is displayed with slashes. (Should be backslashes on Windows).
- In Info dialog, path of .ini file is displayed with slashes (Should be backslashes on Windows)
- Create>>File list: Default is "{Directory}/{Filename With Ext}". Intead, this should be "\" on Windows. Same applies for the created File list.

right, will be fixed

One more instance:
Settings | Browser » Catalog: In the list "Cache maintenance", cached directories listed have slashes.

O.k., thank you, I can also reproduce the problem. Issue 1244 is fixed in next version.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.87. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

Tested with 0.87 beta 2, partly fixed.

- Settings | Browser » Catalog: In the list "Cache maintenance", cached directories listed have backslashes now.
- Backslashes in Batch rename was previously fixed.
- Info dialog (I guessed Helmut ment Help, About), was previously fixed.

But:
Not to be annoying, but in the original bug report from Helmut, in the output of the search, pathnames are shown with backslash, but in the header of the result window of the search, behind "Current pathname:", the path is still shown with forward slashes.

Also:
In Create, File listing, the default dialog still shows: {Directory}/{Filename With Ext} (forward slash)

ok, will be fixed in beta 3

Excellent.

because you didn't quote the following;
"Also:
In Create, File listing, the default dialog still shows: {Directory}/{Filename With Ext} (forward slash)"

Did you also had a look at that?

Both remaining issues seem to be fixed in beta 3. Could you please confirm, HanVroon ?

Tested with 0.87 beta 3

Fixed:
In the output of Tools, Search, pressing Search after entering someting, in the header of the result window of the search, behind "Current pathname:", the path is now shown with backslashes

Not fixed:
In Create, File listing, the default dialog still shows: {Directory}/{Filename With Ext} (forward slash)

you need to clean the default from your .ini

OK, retested after deleting the line list=... in the section [Listing] in the ini, after that the forward slash was gone, Fixed.
