XnView Software

XnView: MP 1.3.1 64bits
OS: Windows 64bit (21H1), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%

Title bar's settings and behaviour

To reproduce:
1. run clean portable XnViewMP
2. press F12 to open Settings
3. goto Browser -> Browser tab -> Title bar
4. set {Directory} and save settings

Actual behaviour:
1) Title bar in Settings is empty by default
2) When changed to {Directory}, Browser's address changes forward slash (/) to backslash (\)

Expected behaviour:
1) Title bar shall have {Directory} set by default
2) Local address shall be with backslash and not forward slash

1.3.1 - settings - browser - rework browser tab

No, by default there is no change in title bar when a file is selected

2) Local address shall be with backslash and not forward slash

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

Let me rephrase and illustrate my point for better understanding:
There are no such issue with Viewer's title bar as it has correct keyword in corresponding section of Settings.
So I guess for the sake of consistancy - Browser's title bar setting shall have keyword as well.

yes it's normal. If title bar settings is empty, the title bar always shows pathname. If title bar settings is used, when a file is selected, title bar use this template

Ah, ok, finally got it )

There are 2 states of the Title bar in Browser mode:
- with file selected - can be changed via Settings
- without file selected - cannot be changed, always show current path

Suggestion
Well, it would help to have some context hint in that case or add some text, like this:

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.4.0. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

this issue can be considered closed
