Desastrous bug in "Open with" conext menu.
Posted: Wed Jul 19, 2006 11:32 am
Configured XnView to open my Photo database program when I right-click on a thumbnail.
After using that option, XnView empties the directory where the called executable stands, except the executable itself (probably because it is in use, otherwise it might be gone to).
Tested situations:
- Happens with Windows XP with/without SP2, with/without Windows Updates, on different machines.
- Happens with several directories, without strange characters in the pathname.
- Doesn't happen the first time leaving XnView open. So add the OpenWith program to the context menu in the Browser, right-click a thumbnail, the program will open, directory where the exe resides stays filled. After closing XnView and starting it again, the OPen with deletes the directory contents.
- After clearing the OpenWith section in the ini file, the same can be done over again (first time it works fine, after close/start of XnView the directory gets cleared).
- Happens in Browser and View mode.
