1.8.8: XnView freezes when moving .avif files
Posted: Sun Jun 01, 2025 3:24 am
XnView: MP 1.8.8 - 64-bit
OS: Linux (EndeavourOS) - 64-bit
XnView freezes (becomes unresponsive) and eventually crashes when dragging multiple .avif files into a folder.
Effect: XnView freezes and then eventually crashes.
To reproduce:
1. Create a folder, for example folder1.
2. Inside folder1, create another folder, for example folder2.
3. paste 4 .avif image files inside folder1 through a file manager (or any application, just not XnView itself).
4. Now, open folder1 through XnView, select the 4 .avif image files using ctrl+click and drag them inside folder2.
Actual behaviour (bug): XnView will freeze (become unresponsive) and eventually will crash. On re-launching XnView, the actual files will have been correctly moved to the folder.
Expected behaviour: After moving the images the program should continue working as intended, i.e., no freezes or crashes should occur.
