From old Forum:
Hi,
when I open an image with Explorer IrfanView pops up and I press ESC to return to explorer. Now the explorer 'hangs' for 1-2 seconds. I can't doubleclick on another image right away. If I wait some time before pressing ESC or browse some images with PG-DWN/Space there is no problem after quitting IV.
It's the same situation with e.g. Total Commander: The Cursor Bar 'hangs' there after leaving Irfanview.
I already tried on different machines (all WinXP Prof. SP2 latest HotFixes), disabled AntiVirus, different AVs (Avira/Kaspersky) no improvement
This behaviour doesn't exist with XnView. I also can't reproduce it on Vista32.
Same problem in previous versions (3.85, 3.99).
Maybe some XP Hotfix causes this behaviour ?
Anyone with the same experience ?
TIA funta
Edit:
I've uploaded a small video which shows the problem:
1) I open Test1.jpg
2) IrfanView shows the image
3) I press ESC to get back to the folder
4) Now I try to immediately select Test2.jpg and Test6.jpg (I actually click on them!) ==> nothing happens, explorer 'hangs'
5) After ~ 1 sec. I can select the images Test2.jpg and Test6.jpg
It usually takes 1-2 sec. to respond again.
