XnView Software

Interface>Switching modes>Double click: Browser <-> Fullscreen | Viewer <->Fullscreen

What used to happen was I could double click an image and it would show a fullscreen preview on my 2nd monitor. Then if I double clicked on the fullasreen preview it would disappear. But now if I double click on the fullscreen preview it no longer disappears (pressing Escape or Enter still works and makes the fullscreen preview go away but double-clicking on the fullscreen preview doesn't).

Something also seems to have changed regarding refreshing image previews in this latest update. If I double click an image in XnView to see the fullscreen preview and then edit in with my image editor (Gimp) and save it, when I then go back to XnView and double click the image again to see the preview, it's still showing the old preview image and not the one I've updated and saved. I have to click away from the image in XnView and then go back to it again. Now when I double click it, it's showing the updated version.

This has only started happening in 1.9.0.

Yes, the thumbnail updates correctly but when I double click it, the fullscreen preview still shows the old image (not the actual edited version).

Here is an example of what happens:

1) I double click on an image thumbnail in XnView (XnView is open on my 3rd right hand monitor)
2) The fullscreen preview opens on monitor 2 (my center monitor)
3) I launch my image editor (Gimp) by right-clicking the thumbnail and selecting Open With>Associated Editor
4) Edit the image in Gimp and save it
5) I can see the thumbnail in XnView has updated to show the edited image
6) I double click on the thumbnail but the full screen preview in center monitor still shows the original fullscreen image
7) I have to quit and restart XnView and now double clicking the thumbnail shows the correct edited image as fullscreen preview

sorry but i means for this one

If I double click the fullscreen preview it no longer disappears (that's what it used to do before the 1.9.0 version). Now I have to either press Esc on the keyboard or double click the thumbnail.

do you have started XnView from windows explorer with a file?

I use Explorer to navigate through my photos folders then double click on an image. Xnview is my default image viewer so it opens from there.

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.9.1. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.
