XnView: MP 0.99.6 - 64-bit
OS: Windows 10 - 64-bit

There is a regression in 0.99.6 where it is no longer possible to open the file's location after searching for it. The last version I tested and it worked was 0.99.1.

Effect: Nothing happens after trying to open the file's folder from within the program (not to confuse with "Open file in explorer").

To reproduce:
1. Go to "Categories Filter" or "Tools > Search...".
2. Filter one or multiple files via categories, ratings, color labels etc.
3. Right-click a file from the search result.
4. Select "Open Containing Folder".

Actual behaviour (bug): The browsing/viewing mode stays with the filtered files, not showing the actual file location.

Expected behaviour: The program should change from viewing the filtered files, to opening the selected file location along with any other files present.

It was fixed in 0.99.7 and still works properly in v. 1 beta 4.
