"Import and sort" error when moving files

Hello,

The addition of "Move" option in the "Import and sort" dialog is greatly appreciated !

After having used this feature without problems for some time, I get an error every time I use it now (regression with a recent update ?) when move option is activated....
xnviewmpImport_and_sort_20230203.png
Source doesn't exist ??? Obviously, source file exists and was found by the software some instant before.

I use to import jpg+RAW. This issue won't happen if I import jpeg without raw associated on the memory card.... I strongly suspect this issue to be related to companion files handling.

Thanks for listening

1.4.2

I also have this problem when importing jpgs and raw files together. It seems to have been introduced at version 1.4.1 as 1.4.0 works OK. Have now downgraded to 1.4.0 to get round the problem, but obviously this is not ideal!!

Other than that, great app, really like it.

Hope this helps.

the problem comes when you have a file.raw and file.jpg in the source folder?

Hi Pierre

Yes, that's the problem. I routinely import .jpg and .nef files from my Nikon camera. With versions 1.4.1 and 1.4.2, I get the following error
ss1.jpg
If I just import .jpg or .nef files on their own, it works OK. Also, if I downgrade to version 1.4.0, it works OK, so there must be some change between 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 that has introduced the problem.

Hope this helps.

Hi Pierre

Further info - I've been experimenting, and I've found out that, if the .jpg and .nef pairs both have the same first name part, then it fails. If they have different names, it works OK. As an example, importing the following fails.

File1.jpg, File1.nef

but this works OK

File1.jpg, File2.nef

Hope this also helps!

Hi Pierre

I've found that if I delete EITHER OR BOTH of the companion file lines with jpg in them, it works OK with 1.4.3. So deleting either or both of the lines

jpg exf

{raw} jpg

makes the import work OK. Now I'm not sure of the consequences of doing this, I leave that up to you to determine!!!!!

Hope this helps
