Sorry to say, I absolutely love XnView, and rely on it constantly, but after updating to MP .83 x64 I'm finding only slight changes to the problems that are making me groan daily. I've reported all of these previously, trying to give you complete information here to help with development. Please ask questions or make suggestions if you have any.
I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with plenty of RAM. I completely uninstalled previous versions before installing .83, and show all dependencies present.
1) Thumbnails: Still corrupts thumbs wherever I open from a file, only in that folder. I've taken to opening from a file in an adjacent folder for that reason. With .83 it seems to scramble them within the same folder so far, instead of randomly from various folders as before. I can only identify files from the preview at bottom, makes using the browser very frustrating.
2) File Ordering: Within browser view files display in order according to the first numeric character in the number portion of similarly named files, rather than the true numeric order, as in system folders. ie: 179, 18, 180 or 69, 7, 70. Maddening.
3) Saved Sessions: Open multiple times. When I save a session (tab group), then open from a file or launcher, the session reopens as expected. Then I have that window open and I want to open another instance from a file, which I can do, but the whole group opens again in each instance until I close out and select no, don't save. Problem is I only need one instance of the saved tabs, then I need to open other instances to work concurrently, with that group still open. Would be great if the app would recognize that the saved group has already been opened once, and dump the cache of saved files, so subsequent instances will not cause another explosion of tabs.
4) Crash on attempt to copy hexidecimal value from background color field: This is minor, but I always seem to forget to write the values down instead of trying to copy-paste. When I open color selector, as soon as I select the value entered with cursor, the whole app greys out and freezes. Program does not stabilize with waiting, only solution is to force quit and restart.
5) Stability: This version seems less stable than previous ones. Takes longer to open new instance or new file tab from browser, sometimes to close file by x on tab,and jams up or crashes more frequently. Also slower to scroll in one tab using forward and back arrow buttons. Generally feels like it's struggling with loads it held well previously.
Thanks
