XnView: MP 1.3.0 64bits (Sep 6 2022)
OS: Windows 64bit (21H1)
File save formats repeats twice in "Save as type" dropdown list of "Save as" dialog, see attached screenshot.
Effect:
UX degrades slightly.
To reproduce:
1. download xnView MP archive, extract and run program
2. F12 - open seettings
3. go to Formats -> Saving tab
4. Clear checkboxes by pressing Clear all button (or manually)
5. Tick some checkboxes
6. try to save image file
Actual behaviour (bug):
File save formats repeats twice in "Save as type" dropdown list of "Save as" dialog, see attached screenshot.
Expected behaviour:
every format has to appear only once

Re: 1.3 BUG - save formats duplication
yes you have the most used formats at the top, before the full list

Re: 1.3 BUG - save formats duplication
But my "full list" consist of only 5 formats, I selected in settings.xnview wrote: Tue Sep 27, 2022 2:09 pm yes you have the most used formats at the top, before the full list
Guess there shall be functionality to disable this feature "most used formats" in this dropdown as it is very confusing.
OR
Rework it into "favourite formats" feature, that allow file formats always appear on top.
Visuaaly it can be done in "Saving" tab (on screenshot), by adding one more column with checkboxes.
Re: 1.3 BUG - save formats duplication
Thanks for the post, user0. Same problem here. Well documented, with screenshots, nice suggestions (agreed).
If this is somehow not a bug, may I also request a setting to disable "most used" formats (listed first). Or better separate the lists.
I also have only a handful of formats selected for saving, so this just clutters (doubles) my list without helping (and just looks odd).

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.3.1. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

Re: 1.3 BUG - save formats duplication
Yes, this is fixed now (1.3.1), all formats are only listed once. Thank you! It looks much cleaner. Brain approves.xnview wrote: Thu Oct 13, 2022 2:30 pm This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.3.1. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.
See: Settings, Formats, Saving, "Show most used format at beginning", uncheck.
