[Strange problem] TC with XnView (thumbnails)

[StickyNomad]

Hm, I'm sorry to disappoint you once more , but this still doesn't occur here even with the specified setting. This gets more and more obscure...

You know what? Now that i fiddled around with the maximize settings, i cannot reproduce it either!!

Xnview is now probably running hidden in the background (as it should) - then TC will not start it a second time. Just close and re-open TC, or wait 60 seconds to make the hidden xnview close.

Erm, what? This issue becomes more and more absurd with every post

What if you clear the ini and try it again? Does the issue reappear? If yes, maybe the reason could be an non-existing ini entry, that is written to xnview.ini not before the first time you set Xnviews startup behaviour explicitly. Of course that's quite speculative...

I tried many settings, i just cannot reproduce it

2Stitscher
Save your xnview.ini for future refence, could you send it to us?

Did you recieve my email?

Yup

Ok, I found the config entry causing the problem:
General / Startup / Only one Instance: ON

An XnView is already running, TC starts another process, and seemingly there is a communication problem between TC and XN, hence TC consumes 100% processor time, loses the focus, etc
XnView author should know about it:

Yup, thanks Sans for finding it out.
I will change that setting.

General / Startup / Only one Instance: ON

congrats for finding that Indeed my XNview is setted to multiple instances, with only one instance I (finally) could reproduce that...
