Delay when loading from samba share

Post by jms »

XnView MP 1.9.8, Ubuntu 24.04:
When I open an image from a Samba share in a folder that contains many pictures, XnView freezes before the image is fully displayed. It starts rendering the picture, then the screen flickers, and only after a while is the image finally shown in maximized view. It looks as if XnView is loading the contents of the entire directory while opening the file. This does NOT happen if XnView is already running and I simply scroll through the images, so the issue is clearly not related to loading a single picture. This bug did not occur in earlier versions.I have made a video so you can see what happens: https://youtu.be/KkKXR3kBg5g
