XnView Software

Hi there,

when I use batch processing to convert file formats with deleting the source, it just doesn't work. The source file is not deleted. Might be a regression from here: https://forum.xnview.com/viewtopic.php? ... fc#p191922

I have XnView MP 1.8.8 Flatpak and 1.8.7 from the AUR, both have the same problem. I am writing the new files to the same directory as the source file and it works just fine, so obviously it's not a permission problem. "use multiple CPU cores" is on and handling existing files is set to "rename".

and using the 1.9.0 TGZ package?

When running XnView 1.9.1 from the TGZ archive, the problem does not appear.

I noticed that 1.9.1 is now also available as AUR package, so I could test the same version from the other package. It does not solve the issue though. I can't think of anything permission related since XnView obviously has permission to write to the folder it should delete from.

If TGZ package works, there is a permission in the AUR package

I really can't see how that could be a (simple) permission problem. I can delete the files with XnView manually. I just can't delete them with XnView's batch job processor. I will ask the AUR maintainer, but it looks like it's because of some difference in deleting in XnView.
