XnView 2.42 does not start in specified folder via command line
Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2017 7:13 pm
Hello,
with XnView 2.41 and XnView 2.42 the program does not start in the specified folder via command line anymore when XnView is installed in a different folder than %ProgramFiles%. Instead of opening in the specified folder, it opens in the folder where the command is executed (like C:\Windows\system32) or where the batch file is located. In XnView 2.40 it worked.
Example
XnView is installed under c:\XnView\xnview.exe
Open a command prompt (normally it opens under C:\Windows\system32). Now execute this command
In XnView 2.40 it opened XnView in the folder c:\temp. Now (XnView 2.41 and XnView 2.42) it opens under the current location, in this case C:\Windows\system32. This also applies to batch files when opening multiple XnView instances with different folders.
Info and settings
Windows 7 x64
XnView 2.4x
Changing the startup options does not solve the problem.
