1.9.5: Viewer file info isn't dynamically updated anymore

In XnView's config section "Viewer > Info", you can set the display of a line containing various definable details about the current viewed file. The shortcut command is named 'cmd_showInfo', its keyboard shortcut defaults to the letter "I".
For example, when resizing an image, the active info line would display the new image dimensions automatically. I think it started with XnView v1.8.3 when the info line is no longer updated dynamically, and I have to toggle the info display off and on again to have it show the updated image dimensions.

Because you just confirmed the info line to be fully working for you, I rechecked my settings. I started by replacing my individual info-line config with XnView's default string.
1. Back to square one:
With XnView's default info-line configuration (see code below), the display of the info-line is working again as intended, including the dynamic display of any image dimension changes. That's a good start.
Code: Select all
infoTemplate="{File Index} - {Filename}\n{Format} - {Size KB} KiB - {Width}x{Height}\n({EXIF:Date Taken}) ({EXIF:Make}) ({EXIF:Model}) ({Zoom}%)\n({Tag status}) ({Rating}) ({Color label}) "
Then I started to edit the default info-line config, removing one item at a time, and restarting XnView after each change, to slowly shape the info-line back to my previous individual setup.
As soon as I remove the entry "{Zoom}" from the info-line configuration, the changes to the image dimensions aren't dynamically displayed anymore. Now I have to toggle the info-line off and on by pressing the keyboard shortcut "I" twice to see any changes I made to the image dimensions.
Now adding back the entry "{Zoom}" to the info-line configuration, at any position in the config line, has the dynamic display of changes to the image dimension working again.
3. Conclusion:
This simplified info-line configuration will display any changes to the image dimension dynamically:
Code: Select all
infoTemplate="({Zoom}%) {Width}x{Height}"
Removing the entry "({Zoom}%)" from this simplified configuration breaks the display of any dynamic image dimension changes:
