Could you try to uninstall it, and install again the 1.80.3 setup

Was the JPG created by photoshop? If so, reopen it in photoshop and the re-save it using the save for web feature, then try opening the new JPG in xnview.

Also, have you tried opening xnview first, then opening the JPG from the file->open dialog?

Hi everybody,
I have same problem too. I have uninstalled xnviewer and reinstalled it but I cannot see the pictures by double clicking them. It is working in task manager but there is no scene. Beside this, they are not photosop files. What can ı do?

It's very strange, some users have this problem, but i don't understand why.

There is a bad key in registry, please remove -slide from:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\xnview.exe\shell\open\command
"C:\Program Files\XnView\xnview.exe" -slide "%1"

Correct is:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\xnview.exe\shell\open\command
"C:\Program Files\XnView\xnview.exe" "%1"

Note: Your program path may differ, keep your program path.

What version of windows are you guys using? Perhaps that's where the problem lies.
I did have a similar problem with v1.7x (I think it was 1.74, but I'm not certain) and WBZ files. They would open without any difficulties if I opened xnview first and then opened them from within xnview, but if I just double clicked the files, xnview would give me some error. I was on win98 at the time.

Thanks I lot Admin,

When I have changed the registry key "C:\Program Files\XnView\xnview.exe" -slide "%1" to "C:\Program Files\XnView\xnview.exe" "%1" the problem was solved.

Regards,
Wisdom

Good work

Problem can be recreated

Post by marsh »

A way to recreate registry problem:
1. Start with no Xnview references to it in registry.
2. Make the first and only association you make:
[x]Associate slide file with Xnview
3. Close Xnview.
4. Select unassociated image in MS explorer.
5. Now use MS explorer's Open with function to choose Xnview from list of programs.
6. *The bad key will now be associated with Xnview.

Doubleclick on JPEG files does not display them in XnView

Post by Latice »

Just to let you know that I also experienced the bad registry key problem which prevents to have XnView open properly when double-clicking on JPEG files in MS Windows Explorer (although proper association of XnView to open JPEG files was made in MS Windows Explorer).

My configuration is as follow:
- MS Windows 2000 SP4
- XnView 1.82.4

Removing the -slide in the registry key fixed the problem. Thank you for this piece of info.

same problem for me, with windows 2000 SP4. The solution "no slide registry" is ok. Strange problem !
Thanks

Same problem for me:

MS Windows 2000 SP4 + XnView 1.82.4

After removing -slide doubleclick worked as intended.

Maybe its Win2000 specific

@Pierre: Will this be fixed in 1.90? (I think a bug fix is very important).
