1.4.5 - viewer - save as - original image remains open once saved to another folder

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.4.5 64bit
Windows11 (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%


Viewer - save as
original image remains open once saved to another folder

To reproduce:
1. run clean portable XnViewMP
2. open image
3. (OPTIONAL) modify image so it will be easy to check difference later
4. press SHIFT+CTRL+S to Save as
  • A - OK
    - select same folder (format does not matter)
    - press Save
    image will be saved, Viewer shows new image file
  • B - issue
    - select different folder (format does not matter)
    - press Save
    image will be saved, but Viewer still shows original image
    (press CTRL+R - it will be reloaded to original state)

Expected behaviour:
- A,B cases behavior is not consistent, it must be unified into correct one (A)
- B case - Viewer must switch filelist focus to the new file after saving via "Save As"


Suggestion
saving behavior should be reworked to the standard one:
  • rework Save as... (Ctrl+Shift+S) command
    when image saved via this command - Viewer tab should switch to new image/file
  • add new "Save a Copy..." (Ctrl+Alt+S) command
    when image saved via this command - Viewer tab should remain currently opened image/file
  • remove "Use output filename after 'Save as'" (Settings > File operations)
    since it's no longer required
