1.8.6 About Panel Displays .ini path incorrectly if folder starts with a .

XnView: MP 1.8.6 - 64-bit
OS: Windows 11 - 64-bit

XnView launched with the -ini command line option when the path contains a folder starting with a period

Effect: XnView about panel displays incorrect path. Link to file does work however.

To reproduce:
1. Open powershell and run command:

Code: Select all

Start-Process -FilePath 'C:\Program Files\XnViewMP\xnviewmp.exe' -ArgumentList "-ini H:\APPCONFIG\.XnViewMP\xnview_rect_stack.ini"
2. XnView MP will open
3. Press F1 to open About Panel

Actual behaviour (bug): INI Filename will be displayed as: H:\APPCONFIGXnViewMP\xnview_rect_stack.ini

Expected behaviour: INI Filename should be H:\APPCONFIG\.XnViewMP\xnview_rect_stack.ini

Note: the link to the ini file does point to the correct location however
Within Settings - Paths [XnView settings] [Use. ini file in folder] set to custom
Pressing [Open Config file location] opens %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\XnViewMP
Not sure if this is expected behavior but seems inconsistent.
