xbs-File not properly loaded in version 1.12.2

Post by tumirnix »

Hi xnView users,
am I the only one who has a problem after switching from version 1.12.1 to 1.12.2 (on Windows):
When I'm opening an existing "Batch convert" preset file (*.xbs), the "Actions" tab remains empty. I'm expecting "Watermark" entries.
After re-installing version 1.12.1 the problem is solved.
Was there an important change, which could cause this issue?
Best regards
Martin

which version of your .xbs (Classic or MP)? Since 1.12.1, the deprecated (classic) format is no more supported, you need to convert it

Maybe. At least I can't confirm it - and what I did is:
- Startet the 1.12.1 on a different path (not uninstalling 1.12.2, but shouldn't matter anyway).
- Made a Batch Convert preset (with a watermark action), saved it, and deleted the preset.
- Back to the installed 1.12.2, with the same default profile path (should behave like updating the version), and after loading the saved preset, everything is there.

You could test it with a new xnview.ini, just rename it, so you can restore it afterwards.
