XnView Software

XnView: MP 1.8.0 64-bit
OS: Mac

Description:
My apologies if this problem has already been reported or resolved. I've searched, but maybe I'm not using the correct terms.

When browsing a folder of ~60 jpg images that are ~3-5mb in size, there is a long delay (5-7 sec) when using the keyboard to navigate either forward or backwards. This doesn't happen for every photo, the program gets consistency stuck with some photos.

These are photos taken with a Sony a6400 in xfine mode (jpg). I've also searched for problems related to sony jpg. I naively tried to uninstall and reinstall XnViewMP. I also tried rebuilding.

Thank you for this software! I'm making the transition from PC-->Mac. I previously used faststone. XnViewMp has filled that hole for me!

please check the 1.8.2 version

I've updated to 1.8.2 and unfortunately the issue still persists.

are you able to reproduce with 2/3 image files in a folder?

Yes even with a only 4-5 photos in a directory it still freezes for 4-5s. What's interesting is that I've mapped keys to tag & untag an photos as important (I'm going through hundreds of photos usually), and when I'm navigating between photos using the arrow keys, and it freezes between them, I can hit one of the mapped keys I use and the photo will advance. I'm happy to send a video of this if it helps, it just would need to be private since the photos are from my kids' soccer games and I don't know how the parents would feel about it.

you can send me video, files and xnview.ini to be able to reproduce by PM (the files stay private)
