Disappearing floating preview
Posted: 07 Jan 2019 00:45
I have floating preview set up so that activating the keyboard shortcut will bring up the Floating Preview window in a maximized state. I like this over Fullscreen Preview because it shows your place within the a folder: if you have 2000 images in a folder, floating preview will tell you that you are on image 1323/2000.
However, just a minute ago I minimized xyplorer while the Floating Preview was active, and now it doesn't work. Activating the keyboard shortcut appears to cause XYplorer to THINK that the floating preview window is active, despite not being visible: the titlebar text goes grey, as does the cursor, and when viewing a folder of images in thumbnail mode, press the Up and Down keys will cause the cursor to scroll left and right, exactly as if it is moving to the previous/next slide.
This is not the first time this has happened to me. I can't be certain that the same thing caused it last time (although that seems pretty likely), and I have no idea what solved it before; it just sort of went away after a week or so.
