I am upgrading to a new computer running Windows 10 pro and have downloaded and installed the Irfanview v4.54 64 bit self-extracting exe (English Version) plus the IrfanView-64 Plugins self-extracting exe.
I currently run Version 4.27 on my Windows 7 pro 64 bit computer and I still have that computer running but will retire it once I get the new computer running properly. Until then I am setting up my new Windows 10 computer and comparing the performances and program settings to work just like they did on my Windows 7 computer.
I am having the following issue with 4.54:
Every time I open the File > Batch to either rename or convert files, the “Look in:” directory pointer reverts to “C:”. This means I need to search through the directory tree every time I want to perform a batch. In V4.27 it automatically opens at the last batch folder or if that folder is missing it will revert to the next higher level in the directory tree. I have tried all the settings including changing the program start folder but nothing works.
Why is this happening? Is this a bug? Should it not open at the directory of the last conversion like your older versions do?
Looking into the .ini files:
1. When I look in the .ini file in V4.54 I see that the “OpenDir=.......” under the “[Batch]” section heading has the correct folder name but it seems that Irfanview is ignoring it.
2. Comparing the ini files from 4.27 to 4.54, I find that in 4.27 there is a section called "[Open]" that holds the directory “OpenDir=......” that is put into the “Look in:” directory pointer. In 4.54 there is no "[Open]" section in the ini.
3. Just as an aside the “Output folder for result files:” in the batch conversion window does reflect the correct output folder that is listed in the “OutputPath=......” in the “[Batch]” section. This is true for 4.27 as well as 4.54
