XnViewMP 1.9.2 crashes when deleting a file in comparison view.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select 3 files in the browser.
2. Click the Compare button on the toolbar to compare
3. Select Tabs as the comparison view
4. Activate the tab for the 2nd of the three files
5. Click the delete button on the toolbar.
6. When you get the msgbox "Do you want to delete this file?" click Yes.

Crash.

The file does get deleted, however.

That is very surprising. It happens with any files, and it happens with a fresh, untouched XnViewMP v1.9.2

Suggest you try the following:

1. Download a fresh copy of XnViewMP x64 portable/zip
2. Unzip and run
3. For the startup wizard, select:
Language=Autodetect
Theme=Default
Settings=Portable
Add Browse with XnViewMP UNchecked
Check for Program Updates=Never

Now download any three test jpegs from this site and put them in a folder:
https://www.sample-videos.com/download- ... -image.php

Browse to that folder in the app and follow the steps in my previous post. XnViewMP will crash.

This was running on Windows7x64.

Please note: It does NOT crash if you use NORMAL view in the Comparator. It only crashes if you select TABS as the comparison view.
