When you try to open an album by pressing the album button up the top, it opens the album selection window. If you select an album and then press Open, all is well.

However, if you double click on the album name, sometimes it works as expected, and other times it flashes up the expected album in the thumbnails and then almost immediately goes back to displaying what was previously there. I can't see any rhyme or reason as to why it sometimes does one thing or the other, so I'm guessing it is some sort of windows race condition.

If it is any help I'm running Studio edition (obviously) .268 on XP.

Ah, I've just some more testing. I have 8 albums currently defined. It seems that (in this case) any of the first 6 produce the error, but either of the last two work as expected.

That seems pretty solid.

The "open" button works just fine in all cases. It is only double clicking that is a problem. Neither adding nor removing images from either the "good" albums, nor the "bad" albums makes a difference. Some of the good AND bad have only one or two images, and one of both have a large number (say 50 or so) images.

Adding a new album zzz so it goes at the end of the list works just fine. Adding a new album 111 at the front of the list has the effect that the newly added one fails like the others, but what has now become the 7th album works just fine even though previously it was the 6th album and it failed. i.e. the first 6 fail, and teh remainder work

I can close and re-open Qimage and the behaviour remains.

If, after getting the albums selection window up, I first click on file date, so that the albums are re-ordered, it is STILL the first 6 in the newly ordered list that fail, even though they are now different albums, and the remainder work OK.

Weird!
