XnView Software

XnView MP v: 0.84 and 0.85 beta1 (10-Mar-2017) (both 64-bit)
OS: Windows 7 Pro, x64

Description:
When searching using the catalog, there is no indication of progress

Effect:
User wonders if program has crashed, has no idea how long it will take.

To Reproduce:

• Find a folder with a significant number of subfolders and files (we need a long search to demonstrate the issue)
• Make sure files have been catalogued
• select folder and choose menu Tools->search
• Set up:
  • filename: blank
  • Regexp: off
  • Match "Any" (or "All" - Does not matter with single condition)
  • case sensitive: on
  • Use catalog: on
  • Recurse: on
  • Add a single condition, such as XMP:Description is: "xyz" . Just give something that fails to match anything
• Press "Search"

Result:
The "Current Pathname:" line at the top of the status window just shows "DB" for the duration of the entire search.
Under some situations (cannot be reproduced) it was showing nothing - this was with both dark theme and the default theme.

Expected behaviour:
The "Current Pathname:" line at the top of the status window should show the current folder being examined.

I confirm this problem (see topic 0.84: Search progress and results window)

Reproduced

O.k., thank you, I can also reproduce the problem. Issue 1228 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.

confirm problem is fixed in 0.87 beta 1.
