I used the following in add text:
"*.*|WMV MOV MAX"

When I pasted a second time, the seperator character was corrupted inside input box- it changed to a "nul" string or something.

I saw same…

:) Hello B. !

• Do you mean that a string in the clipboard has been changed¦damaged ?

- I see often a similar issue when I edit resources in ResourceHacker, the inactive "Art" quotes #147 and #148 are changed into keyboard quotes " " that indeed causes an error !
• However, this doesn't occur with other programmes, let's say usual text-editors.
- Hence, I think that some programmes can perform faulty calls about the copy¦paste operations with the clipboard ;)

Perhaps, but I think it more likely that character isn't stored properly in xnview.ini correctly- so it can't be rememebered right for subsequent pastes.

:) Weird… That character exists in all charsets and fonts, even in the crappy MS Sans Serif as :

| #124 - Vertical bar, according to the M$ specs.

- Let's wait for the Pierre's opinion… :wink:

Yes, right, '|' is used as internal character :-(

The other…

:) Hello !

• Suggestion :   Since the pipe #124 | is used in the programme itself,
maybe could we use the dashed one #166 ¦ as separator ?

:D It was standard AltGr+6 Alpha on the old IBM French keyboards instead | !
- I've still one here just close me ! Tireless (1kg !).
- But this is not a problem to type Alt+0166, isn't it ? I use this a lot in some translations instead "/" to save room in narrow controls and to get clearer strings…
