Browser loses current selection after rating images from SD card

Post by stevenp »

Hi,

I believe I've found a reproducible issue in XnView MP.

Workflow:

Open an SD card in Browser.
Double-click an image to open it in Fullscreen/Viewer.
Rate the image (1–5 stars).
Close the Viewer (Esc).

Expected behaviour:

The Browser should return to the same image, with the rating showing, so I can continue culling.

Actual behaviour:

No image is selected when returning to the Browser, making it impossible to perform fast culling from an SD card.

Interestingly, if I copy the exact same images to an SSD, the problem disappears completely. The Browser correctly returns to the selected image and shows the rating accordingly.

This appears to affect browsing from removable media only.
