    no bug [BUG] Unicode files & CTRL+N shortcut

    Hello everyone,
    First I want to thank the irfanview team for their amazing work. Until now I didn't found any software as good as Irfanview!

    I have, like others I guess, a problem about Unicode files. I know well Irfanview wasn't build for that, but we have the plug-in. It works well, but when you are viewing file and you want to "duplicate-open" it with the shortcut ctrl+n you got the "not supported" message.

    Way to reproduce:
    1. Create a folder: lorem ipsum
    2. Put two pictures there (1 should be enough, but let's be sure):
      -??
      -???
    3. Open one of them with the plug-in activated
    4. Use the CTRL+N shortcut
    5. Warning message appear


    I'd like to have your help on that. Thanks a lot!

    I can confirm the behaviour with 32-bit IrfanView.

    An easy workaround is to open another copy of the file from Windows Explorer.

    The Unicode plugin does not work with 64-bit IrfanView anyway, but I assume that there is a bug there somewhere.

      Irfan Skiljan replied. Basically, this is not implemented, rather than being a bug.

      If the unicode plugin is enabled, it is always there (loaded on program start) ... there is nothing to "start" again

      => the unicode plugin doesn't handle everything, not all function calls ... this is the problem => not implemented in the plugin.

      Anyway, the next IrfanView version will be native-unicode ... no plugin needed, this will work

        Wow that's a quick answer!!

        Thank you for answering me. Yes opening from the Explorer work, but I'd rather use the shortcut, make it easier and... quicker

        Aaah, I see... I guess I could try to see how it can be implemented, I've zero knowledge so I guess waiting would be better (and quicker).

        Oh, so it's the next version? I didn't followed much. Any ETA?

        Again thank you, I'll change the title and you can close the thread.

          The best guess is from the History of Older Versions.

          Releases seem to come about once a year on average. The latest version was released in December 2016.
