B6: Minor: Adding favorites

Post by Mike2005 »

If you add a favorite via the context menu in the favorite pane, XnView doesn't add a backslash to the favorite's dictory entry in the bookmark.ini. ("New favorite"*"X:\Directory" instead of "New favorite"*"X:\Directory\")

So XnView will show tis entry as a folder <New> (or whatever you named it) with a subfolder <directory>. Subdirectories of the directory the favorite refers to are not shown.

Also, I'd prefer that a new favorite added by context menu becomes the name of the directory it refers to, not "New Favourite".

Confirmed!

I just tried to add "C:\MP4\" to the Favourites using your method and look what XnView wrote to the "bookmark.ini" file!

Code: Select all

"C: - HDD"*"C:\"
"D: - HDD"*"D:\"
"E: - DVD Writer"*"E:\"
"F: - USB Drive"*"F:\"
"Downloads"*"C:\Downloads\"
"Firefox Cache"*"C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\"
"My Archives"*"C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\My Documents\Archives\"
"My Avatars"*"C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\My Documents\Avatars\"
"My Documents"*"C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\My Documents"
"My Pictures"*"C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\My Documents\My Pictures\"
"My Wallpaper for LCD Monitors"*"C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\My Documents\Wallpaper LCD\"
"Temp"*"C:\Temp\"
"MP4"*""
Restart XnView and this favourite has a star next to it?

Mega Major bug, I'd say given we are close to RC's.
