[Solved] Total Commander with XnView (thumbnails)

Please read this thread in the Total Commander forum:
http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=9869

We are still not sure if XnView is to blame, and we still dont know what config to use to reproduce the error... can you please help?

Ok, I found the config entry causing the problem:
General / Startup / Only one Instance: ON

An XnView is already running, TC starts another process, and seemingly there is a communication problem between TC and XN, hence TC consumes 100% processor time, loses the focus, etc :-)

I also use TC with XnView as the thumbnail creator and have been meaning to report this bug and keep forgetting to.

Turning on multiple XnView instances fixes the problem, but makes that setting useless for normal XnView.

I prefer only one XnView instance, but can't have it since I also like having the XnView link to TC.

Hmmm, the problem is still there. The new version has the same behavior/bug.

Thanks! This is an annoying problem, I would love to use XnView in only one instance, but because of this problem I am forced to allow more instances.
To have this fixed would be awesome, thanks for your work!

This problem is (i hope) fixed in next release, there will be an alpha this night or tomorrow on the forum...
