XnView Software

Hi Pierre,

Sometimes XnViewMP start up with an empty Favorites pane. I have 4 entries in it and it hardly changes.
After months seeing this bug I finally know when it happens in my situation: after a screen capture!
The bug is new since version 0.85, in 0.84 it doesn't go wrong. I can also recall this happening two years ago some time in an old version.

To reproduce:
1- Start XnViewMP and notice that the Favorites pane is not empty (some bookmarks in bookmark.ini).
2- From the Browser screen, make a screen capture with the Capture button or menu Tools, Capture.
3- Close the tab with the capture, saving it or not doesn't matter.
4- Close XnViewMP (whether or not you first do some other things like browsing, opening and closing files, doesn't matter).
5- Open XnViewMP again, the Favorites pane is empty.
6- Close Favorites with the x in the title bar of the Favorites pane.
7- Open Favorites again through menu View, Data pane, Favorites.
8- The Favorites pane is filled again.

Because I found it weird, I retried more than 5 times, every time after a capture the Favorites pane was empty.

Best regards,
Han

O.k., thank you, I can also reproduce the problem. Issue 1281 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 in version 0.87 beta 1, the bug is fixed.
After making a screen capture, closing that tab (not save the capture), close XnViewMP and start XnViewMP again, the Favorites pane is still filled with the favorites configured!

Thank you, Pierre.
