RC3: Startup Directory and Flat Thumbnails

Post by XmSurfer »

<Moderator's note: This topic has been moved>

XnView 1.82 RC3 will not respect the startup directory if it is only a drive letter like F:\. I have to put in an actual folder like F:\Anime\ to get XnView to start up in a specific directory. Also I normally set my thumbnail size to 184x184 which gives me 4 thumbnails per row. However, when I activate "Flat style" under Options>Browser>Thumbnail>Appearance, I get rows of two thumbnails unless I specify a border size > 0. With button syle thumbnails I don't have to specify a border size

Can't confirm, it works good here.

Well, restarting does fix the thumbnail problem, however for whatever reason I'm still can't get the program to respect a drive letter only startup directory. That is a small matter since I just moved everything from F:\ to F:\Videos\

:) Hello !

- Same here, I cannot confirm. The browser starts alright on the root of the stated drive, no problem.
• All folders and files in the root show thumb-nails.
• XP-Pro SP1
