just took time to update from ver 422 to ver 425 on a winME machine in hopes of fixing the forward arrow problem (422 fix didn't work on all directories)
I find that the problem is the same, except that now the back arrow also fails.
Keyboard arrow keys & spacebar work properly to step thru the files in order, but the navigation arrows jump over several hundred files a couple times, then pop up the 'end of folder' msg.
This happens in any directory with about 2000 files or more (no problem with one directory that has only 1800 files).
One difference between ver 422 & ver 425 is that now the arrows will work correctly if I first use the 'file: open' browser to open any file in the directory. Only then can I step through the files with the navigation arrows until I close irfanview, after that it doesn't work again until I restart the computer & use the 'file: open' browser again.
I haven't programmed in 25 years or so, but it sounds like some kind of resource exhaustion. Of course, this would only be if the keybord keys & the navigation arrows used a different resource.
Great program other than this minor annoyance.
