By adding "|" character to end of custom file type list, Irfanview can read extension-less files, which is useful in many situations. But it also pops up error message "Can't read file header! Unknown file format, empty file or file not found!" when the format of extension-less file is not supported. If such unsupported files are in large number in a directory, this error message becomes a nagging thing as one has to press escape key every time unsupported file is read.
An option in the "Browsing/Editing" section of Properties/Setting to auto-skip files whose header can't be read will be of immense benefit. As I can envisage, it will not require much programming effort to implement: modify the program to check for "auto-skip" setting before displaying the error message - if auto-skip is set, move to next file. Additionally, the error message may be displayed in bottom status bar if auto-skip is set.
I hope Irfan Skiljan will oblige us by implementing this small feature!
