Browser <-> Viewer Synchronization Issue

[Ronin]

Hi,

When I'm browsing images in Browser and double-click an image in Preview, it opens in Viewer. If I continue browsing in Viewer and double-click another image, I switch to Browser. So far, so good. Here's the thing though. The image I double-clicked in Viewer is selected in Browser but the preview still displays the first image. Is there a way to make XnView MP display the selected image in Preview?

I know there is an option "Select file in Browser when Viewer tab is closed" and it works. But it's rather inconvenient to have to close the viewer tab every time I switch between Browser <-> Viewer.

XnView MP v1.8.0 Portable, Win 11 24H2

Kind regards!

The image I double-clicked in Viewer is selected in Browser but the preview still displays the first image.

looks like a bug
also there is no such issue when doing Browse > Fullscreen (change image) > Browser
