XnView Software

If the thumbnail panel is too narrow, the dropdown for recent paths is also too narrow.

Even if there is not enough room to show the entire control in the toolbar, when "dropped down", the width of the list should be a usable size.

I know it is possible, programming-wise. The Favorites dropdown (the "star") shows correct behavior.

You need to delete your old "xnview.ini" to fix this.

Which xnview.ini did you mean? 1.8RC1 made its own ini in its own folder.

I won't be deleting the 1.74 ini until I switch to 1.8...

Try rename ini file only, in RC1 folder (to xnview.ini.bak) and let xnview to create new one, open xnview, close xnview and check if the problem is still there...

I've fixed this problem.

In RC3, the problem still can be seen: When making the area of the file list small and then opening the dropdown list with most recent adresses, the list is as narrow as the dropdownlist itself.

I've just tried in another application, and there the same is happening. So I think this is standard behaviour of the dropdownlist control.

Note: The favourites menu is not a real dropdown list.

I use a combobox control in my MSAccess applications. It has a property called "listwidth" which sets the drop-down list's width independently of the control width...

So at least it's possible.

Yes

Minor issue. Closed.
