Missing tabs text in tabs and/or tabs

[dorcom]

Since a few days xnview 2.49.2 shows only one tab and it is empty. There is no text in tabs or other tabs. (image attached)
I checked the settings but could not find a relevant one, even by trial & error.
Uninstalling xnview and reinstalling did not help to resolve the problem.
Anyone can help or know the issue?
Thanks in advance!

Pierre,

please find attached as per your request the Xnview.INI file.
The other issue I have is that it does not show PDF thumbnails despite having the latest Ghostscript 32 and 64 version 9.52
OS is Windows 10 1909 x64
32GB RAM

Thanks!

It used to be fine but since about three weeks ago this started to happen.
All system check, SFC are good.
An uninstall, registry clean and reinstall resulted in the same.

You might have the answer.
I just realized that when copy and pasting more than one image into xnview they usually opened additionally and individually within the same program window but with a little generic tabs: clipboard 1, clipboard 2, clipboard 3 etc.
It does not do that anymore instead it just switches over to the image.

When I clicked on the right side of the menu bar on the "restore" (red arrow in pic: xnview1), this happened: (pic xnview2)

Addendum:
When I close all the windows and click on browser tree the it works again until the next restart of XnView.
See attached screen clip movie*.


PS It would be nice to post here under attachments what the max. file size is for (mp4) uploads!
Sofar I had to try 4 times! 12MB; 8MB; 4MB; 2MB; until finally a 1.5MB would upload!

I found the culprit!!! But why does it do that?
A while ago I posted here in the former question how can I have XnView start in normal mode and not full-screen as I have a huge 55" work monitor.
Logically I was looking under options> View & Fullscreen.
I was advised that the setting I am looking for to start in normal mode is under options> general. (Illogical placement to me)
At that time thereafter the problem with the blank tab started to appear.

So I re-enabled (checked) "Maximize XnView at Startup" and started the app.
Bingo! The tabs are present and remain so even if you downsize the app window.
However, when I disable (uncheck) "Maximize XnView at Startup" the phenomenon with the blank tab is present!
As all demonstrated in the 2 most recent messages with attachments.

So this is a bug! Please fix!

Finally!
I found the cause!
Everything works now and when XnView opens in normal mode the tabs are there.

The culprit?
Laughable. In the properties for the desktop shortcut icon for XnView under "run" was set to run "minimized"!!!
Although XnView started in normal window size mode this "minimized" caused the tabs to disappear!

Set it to "normal window" and all is fine!

DUH!?
