Standard setup or zip are not good for you?

msi is easier for package deployment/upgrade in windows domain environment . it would be great if you provide msi package for commercial users.
anyway, i think we can live without it. not every software provide msi package.

definitely very important feature that's missing

With a global world, this is definitely a needed feature. Surprisingly Microsoft Picture and Fax viewer is the only browser that is capable in reading all kinds of characters but is surely lacking in control and other features. Can XnView inherit object features from MS Picture and Fax viewer. Also another nice feature that is missing is the tab close button on IE7 and firefox. Thanks for reading... I await for these features hopefully it'll be implemented sometime in the future.

But it seems that it cannot add Unicode support in 2.0? :|

Not sure what you are talking about. Here in the asian world people use ACDSee 6 and up without any problems, very popular. XnView completely (!) fails as it can not handle paths nor names containing non-western characters.

That also means that XnView has - at this time - nearly zero users where most of the potential users reside.

This is an excellent point. I've never thought of this fact this way, and now I understand why in certain countries one software may dominate over other of it's kind - lack of unicode support is probably one of the reasons.
And the jump in digital photos usage in last few years will sure impact on software that doesn't support unicode.

P.S.
Any news on v2.0 progress? ;)

FYI:
Unicode is already supported in the XnViewMP alpha version.
