    Reported Fit to Window and title do not keep settings after going to screensaver

    I often have many windows open and minimized. I have configured to have images open with fit to window set by default (many, many of my images are very large -- several thousand pixels by several thousand pixels).

    After going into screensaver mode and then coming back all of the windows are sized original size so I can only see a tiny corner of the images. I have to hit F twice (once to set the internal flag telling IrfanView that I don't want fit to window and again telling it that I do). After doing this F works as expected.

    Also, all of the taskbar titles are empty, just "IrfanView".

    If I have 40 images open I have no way of knowing which one is which without opening up each window one by one and hitting F twice until I find the one that I want. This can become VERY time consuming.

    This happens whether it's a bitmap, jpeg, or Canon RAW file.

    And, I'm a software engineer, so I run several different operating systems, it does this on all of them.

    Here's the list of operating systems that I currently am using:
    Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter Edition
    Windows 7 Professional
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Windows 8 Preview
    Windows Vista

    Hope this helps!

    Hi Kev,

    AFAIK Windows do some special things when running the screen saver. One of them is to open a new screen (maybe with an other resolution). But one thing I often see is if a border of a window is out of the screen (i.e. to the left, so the x coordinate may i.e. -50) and when the screen saver has stopped, the window has been moved to the right.

    I don't think this is a bug, maybe you should contact Irfan directly.

    Regards
    Nils
