I’m running Tropy 1.16.2 on Windows 11.
I think a bug might have been introduced with version 1.16.2. When Tropy is closed and I click a tropy:// link (for example, in Microsoft Word), Tropy opens but the photo or item that was linked to doesn’t come up. I have to click it a second time to make it work.
Bumping this post from December 2024 because it hasn’t been responded to yet.
1.16.2 indeed has a protocol related regression, I reported a similar bug days ago.
Is this what you are experiencing as well?
It would make sense for this to be a related bug. It’s not the same, but it’s similar. And I’m experiencing the bug you described too.
Hm, I think this should be the same bug, but I’ll double check. Thanks for bumping this!
@inukshuk Is there a target date for releasing this fix as a minor 1.16.X version?
I hope we’ll be able to do a first 17.x release towards the end of September that will include this fix.
Just an update to say that this bug still exists in 1.17.1.
Odd, it works fine for me on Linux and macOS. I’ll check Windows at the next opportunity.
Meanwhile, can you try this again: copy the link to a photo, then make sure a different item is selected and close Tropy, open the link from the OS, and observe the behavior (did the project open? is the previously selected item selected or the one from the link? is the photo selected? are we in project or item view?); now open the link from the OS a second time and, observe the behavior and save and post the log file at this point. Thanks!
It also works for me in Windows 10, e.g., paste URL into Window Explorer location bar and hit enter. Maybe it’s Windows 11 specific?
Maybe it is specific to Windows 11… Here is what I did.

Thanks!
I wonder if it’s maybe a timing issue. Could you try if it works in a really small project, for example with only two items in it?
With a new project with only two items in it, it works as expected. Then I tried again with my first project, leaving it open for an hour to see if it would load the correct photo eventually, and it didn’t – not in that length of time, at least.
What does this indicate to you? Is there any chance of it being fixed eventually?
Thanks! So you were right all long that it’s a different issue: when the project window isn’t open yet, we wait for it to be open before continuing, but there is a fallback to just proceed after 1.5 seconds – which is just too optimistic. So in your case the item/photo gets selected, but the project hasn’t finished loading and so the selection never happens.
Will be fixed in the upcoming patch release.
