If the file header has not been read and one double-clicks on such a file, a new instance of XnView is opened.
This happens, for example, if the file headers have not yet been read in or if reading in is deactivated in the settings.

i can't reproduce, when you one click on a file (header not readed), the thumbnail/info should be updated. do you have that?

Yes, thats working. Could it be that xnview does not know in this case that it is an image and therefore tries to open the standard application and therefore opens xnview again?

Reproducible as follows:
1. switching mode: double-click Browser <> Fullscreen | Viewer ...
2. browser view (details)
3. open a folder with about 100 images that have about 5000px on the longest side. This slows down scanning.
4. cancel the scanning process with ESC.
5. open an image (double-click) whose data has not yet been scanned. This can be recognized by the fact that the field for properties is still empty.
6. double-click to exit the full screen
Result: Two XnView instances.
