XnView jumps to another image in OneDrive folders

Post by dsessd »

I have a problem where XnView jumps to another image in the same folder after briefly showing the right one. For example, I double click an image in Windows Explorer, it opens in XnView briefly and then switches to another image in the same folder. Usually that's the first image in the folder alphabetically.

This problem seems to occur only when with OneDrive and when not every file in the folder is synced.

Mostly yes. But it does seem to have some intermittency - the active image does not jump in all folders, and maybe not always in those that it does.

I think this is all OneDrive related, maybe it depends on the synchronization status. For example, I noticed too that renaming fails in Windows Explorer when you add several new files to a directory that is synced by OneDrive and start renaming one of them. OneDrive starts syncing and while you're renaming (clicking when active or F2) the file name just resets to the original one. This too seems to happen depending on how active OneDrive is. Not sure if this helpful for the XnView issue.
