Some Pictures not opening unless zoomed-in
I have a few pictures that when I'm flipping (finger-swiping) through only display as the picture file icon rather than opening and displaying the picture itself.
If I zoom in then the picture opens, but as soon as I zoom back out it displays as the picture file icon again.
A few details that could be important but which fail to point me towards causality none the less:
- The files in question have the 'hidden' property
- The files in question reside in a file folder which has the 'hidden' property
- Using the 'Explore' file browsing utility and after selecting 'Show Hidden' almost all pictures display without any problems when clicked, and finger-swiping from picture to picture opens the images fine...with the exception of the problematic picture files I'm writing this for.
While experimenting with the problematic files I tried a couple of different things just to see if anything would change:
- Tried cutting/pasting one of the problem pics to the usual 'Pictures' folder, removing the hidden file attribute: the picture displays as a thumb the way it should and opens fine.
- After moving that pic back to the hidden folder I created and restored it's 'hidden' attribute: it went right back to the abnormal behavior (wherein I had to open then zoom the pic to see it's actual content).
- Tried re-naming the picture: it made no difference
So I'm wondering if this is happening to anyone else and if this is a known issue.
