MC do not decode jpg it self.. MC is using WIC  (Windows Imaging Component) So I don't know if there is anything I can do about it.

So we can exclude MC itself. Problem lies either in WIC or in malformed file.

According to an AI analyze of the image
"The problem is its EXIF block (APP1, 2005 bytes). It contains a small thumbnail, and the thumbnail's Compression tag (0x0103) is written with type LONG instead of SHORT, which the EXIF spec requires."

Could you provide source of this information? I cannot reproduce it. There's no *long int* representation of 0x103 value in this file.

The command:
C:> hexdump -x plomyki.jpg

shows file content as 16-bits (short int) values. There are some "0103" values there, but no one has enough zeroes in their neighbourhood to form long int of this value.

As there may be not aligned longs in file, I also checked output of command:
C:> hexdump -X plomyki.jpg

This dumps file as bytes (2 hex digits, separated with double spaces). Searching for "03  01" sequences shows some results but again - there is not enough 00 bytes after them to form long int.

Besides, no software I have displays warning about malformed file. For example:
C:>exiftool -Compression -H plomyki.jpg

simply shows:
0x0103 Compression                     : JPEG (old-style)

without any warning about spec violation.

As this is my HI (Human Intelligence) analysis, I might have overlooked something. I am not JPEG expert.

Don't find any issue with selection and checkboxes.. they are unselected.. Make sure you have configured it correctly.. that behavior is depending on Explorer Panel settings

Support and Feedback / Desc fields in MultiButtons XML file
« Last post by hacime on Yesterday at 15:30:29 »
Hello,

I've made some modifications in button bar in this wonderfull application, I've 16 buttons in 2 rows.

In the last button which copies the path name tooltip does not show up.

What I want to achive is to get desc value {m,201} from ExplorerPanel_lang_en XML file, however, it just shows #{m,201} when hovering the button.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best regards.

Might be able to add a workaround for it.. If It fails because of metadata.. It might be able to read file into memory.. strip metadata.. and then load the image.

Thank you for your reply. I seemed to figure out how to replicate my original issue. The problem only occurs if you have a file tree displayed. If a file tree is not displayed all worked as it should.

My apologies, but I always keep the file tree displayed. I decided to try it without it, so having the file tree displayed seems to be the problem. At least, for me.

Attached I send an example of JPEG image which is not shown in viewer (F3), but EXIF info is read (at least partially).
Gimp shows more image info and displays this image properly.
Newest MC version: 16.6, build 3221.

Minor UI issues in v17
I’ve noticed three possible UI regressions in v17:
  • The italicized text in the Size field for space-ani.gif appears slightly clipped or extends beyond its bounds. It displays correctly in v16.
  • Clicking an empty area doesn’t deselect the checkboxes. If this is intentional, please disregard—but I’d prefer the previous behavior.
  • Bug: Gridlines missing in Thumbnail view in v17
    In MultiCommander v17, gridlines are not displayed in Thumbnail (64×64) view; they appear only in Details view. Gridlines display correctly in Thumbnail view in v16. Additional issue: The FileName text is also clipped in Thumbnail view, as shown in the attached screenshot.
Otherwise, v17 is great. I love it!
