0.83: Slash instead of backslash in copied filename and path

geoffm · Post by **geoffm** » Fri Sep 30, 2016 6:12 pm

When using the Edit > Copy to clipboard > Filename and path function, the path is copied with / instead of \ which makes the path unusable in Windows. I would often use this feature to quickly get the image file in a "browse" dialog to upload it to a website or insert it in a document, however I cannot use this in XnView I have to use Windows Explorer.

In case others have had problems with this, I just found a handy workaround: adding file:/// before the path makes it usable in Windows dialogs. At least in Windows 10.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.84 beta 1. Could you please try and confirm the bug fix, geoffm?

Just did a test and it worked fine for me. :arrow:Closed.

@geoffm: Please holler if you still have problems with 0.84 beta 4 or higher.
