XnView Software

Here is a bug which is making me nuts. Way to reproduce (platform: Windows 11)

- set XNView MP as default program for some file format (JPG, HEIC) so that when you double click that file in File Explorer it opens XNView
- set XNView MP so that it opens in in Viewer mode (settings - general - startup - start with file, Open: Viewer)
- close XNView MP

- open any file in a folder of File Explorer that has multiple image files like heic or jpg by double clicking that file. Lets assume that you choose 4th file from a folder that has 10 images.
BUG1 (smaller bug).
- observed behaviour: FILE INDEX says 1/1
- expected behavior: FILE INDEX says 4/10

- after this if you press arrow left FILE INDEX changes to 3/10 and pic number 3 is shown or if you press arrow right FILE INDEX changes to 5 / 10 and pic 5 is shown.

BUG2 (larger bug)
- double click another picture in the folder while XNView MP is open e.g. pic number 7
- observer behaviour: FILE INDEX says again 1/1 and arrow left and arrow right buttons stop working
- expected behaviour: FILE INDEX says 7/10 and arrow left moves to pic 6/10 and arrow right to pic 8/10


BUG2 can be circumvented by first closing XNView MP program and then reopening it by double clicking pic 7 and arrow browsing works again. Anyway when browsing through hundreds of pics this slows down work considerably.


Reproduced both in 1.8.3 and 1.8.4
