The problem is forward slashes in the photo path.  Before you compile,
you need to change g10defs.h:

Change these:
#define DIRSEP_C '/'
#define DIRSEP_S "/"

To these:
#define DIRSEP_C '\\'
#define DIRSEP_S "\\"

The Win32 internals do allow either / or \, but the photo viewer uses
system(), and that calls command, and command does not allow forward
slashes.

As for the large garbage file in i_view32, I was able to duplicate the
problem here so I see it as well, but I don't know where the garbage
came from.  I suspect that i_view32 gets upset if it gets forward
slashes in a pathname.
