I used to have a sig...until one of the mods ate it
Great, thanks!
It looks like IrfanView doesn't accept images on the commandline when the command line is also used to point it to the location of its INI. So, we'll need to work around that bug.

'coz it used to work before. Perhaps best to submit a bug report to IrfanView's forum, and revert to the prior version until they fix it?
(In fact I just created an account on their form, but apparently new accounts undergo an admin review before they are activated.)
We started using their command line parameter in this release. Previously, we were moving the settings back and forth between App and Data which is less efficient. But, yes, it is a bug within IrfanView itself. We still need to work around it, though.

Just reported it on their forum (my account got finally approved).
The PortableApps.com Launcher compiles it the other way, so it would be:
/ini="X:\PathTo\IrfanViewPortable\Data\IrfanView" "X:\OtherPathTo\Image.jpg"
In that order, IrfanView ignores the image being passed.

I've fixed this in 4.35 Rev 2 by reverting to our old way of directing IrfanView to the INI in the Data folder, skipping IrfanView's command line that conflicts with passed images.
