XnView Software

I can start XnView browser for UNC path like \\Nbk-hs1\Backup\Pictures, but in the folder tree nothing of the UNC path is visible (and the tree jumps to top and nothing is selected). Some hosts are not shown under "Network", but even for shown hosts the tree does not jump to opened UNC folder - although Windows explorer and e.g. FreeCommander have no problem to show UNC same folders in there folder tree. I found some hint on ExpandUNC, so there may be an option to turn folder tree for UNC off or on, but could not find any option - did I miss something, or is this an error in XnView?

XnView v2.39, Win7-64-Ult-SP2

1. Go to Info » About... to find the INI file location.
2. Quit XnView.
3. Open xnview.ini in a text editor. (Windows Notepad will do.)
4. Go to the [Browser] section and add the following line:

   Code: Select all

   ExpandUNC=1

5. Save the changes.
6. Restart XnView.
