"Save opened image(s)..." broken

[JLsoft]

(2.51.1)

If more than 1 image window is opened, going to File > Save opened image(s)..., selecting a destination, and hitting Copy results in files both XnView Classic and MP cannnot open ("Error opening the file <filename.ext>")

The saved files have totally random, invalid Created/Modified/Accessed timestamps...

[xnview]

i can't reproduce, which format?

[JLsoft]

Can you try Tools > Capture Screen twice (with Open in XnView selected), and then Save opened image(s)?

It will save out 2 .PNGs, and here: XnView can't open them, and in Explorer's Properties, the timestamps are random (and the timestamp column in the Explorer 'Details' view is blank.

i've tried but no problem in the output png

Okay, I found that it's not the file's format causing the problem here, it's the timestamps.


If I change all 3 (created/modified/accessed) dates and times to something recent, XnView can open the same file fine.


I have no idea what's causing the bad timestamps when XnView saves the files to disk...the only system setting relating to time I can think of here that I've done is the common "Disable NTFS Last Access Time Updates" tweak.

Oh well...at least now I know how to work around this.
