Viewer - filelist
Behavior of Viewer tab when source file of loaded image disappears (moved/deleted) has been updated in 1.8.2
and a new flag has been added to revert to the old behavior:

Code: Select all

[Viewer]
dirtyWhenDisappear=false
However, some flaws remain (see image below).

Case
1 source of loaded image is moved/deleted outside the application
2 source of loaded image is 'Moved to'/deleted via Browser tab
3 source of loaded image is 'Moved to' via Viewer tab

Issue A
nav buttons become disabled, but arrows/scroll still works

Issue B
1. navigate from current file to any other
Save dialog will appear
2. press "Don't save"
Viewer tab will always open 1st file in filelist, even if current file is in the middle of filelist
