space at end of folder name

Post by lumpy »

I couldn't figure out how to search for this here so apologies if this has been reported already.

XnView MP 1.8.3, 64 bit, Windows 11 23H2

I was creating folders in the Folders tab by first copying the name from a web page form. I didn't realize that sometimes the name I copied included a space at the end. In XnView I right clicked and selecte New Folder, then did a Ctl-V to paste the name. Later problems surfaced when I couldn't double click an image in the Windows Explorer; it complained about the folder; I forget the exact message. Once I figured out the problem with the space at the end I also couldn't rename it in Windows Explorer; but I was able to with the GitBash shell.
