XnView Software

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

Browser - file list toolbar

issue A
1. set Directory to None in Settings

2. open Browser
filelist toolbar still shows last path

imho, it shall be blank, because if path presents - browser shall show its content, otherwise there is almost no difference with Last directory option


issue B
1. clean Recent files
filelist toolbar recent paths still remain
they only purges via "Purge now" buttons in Settings (Interface>Interface tab)
imho, its better to purge recent paths together with deleting recent files via File>Clear

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce

I disagree, 'Clear' should purge only files
