XnView Software

I can't rename a filename if it contains a colon (:) in LInux. For example, if I try to change the name to this:

"2013-12-22 23:50:00 test.jpg" (without the quotes)

then XnView doesn't rename it. There is no error dialog and there's nothing in the stdout/stderr output.

I'm using XnViewMP 0.61 and ...

p.s. I'm using "Ubuntu Classic desktop - no effects", not Unity.

FWIW XnViewMP 0.35 works fine on my Ubuntu 11.04 64bit installation.

F3 and "Open with associated program" work now. Apparently the installer for "PowerPoint Viewer 2007" doesn't add an "Open" key to its file association (there were only "Show" and "Print"). To fix this part I added these keys:

1. I put say 3 pages into the scanner (document feeder)
2. I select 'Acquire into...'
3. Enter 'scan_page_' as a filename
4. I select TIFF (or PDF) and make sure the "Save as Multipage" is checked
and I end-up with,

A. First page is saved as 'scan_page_1'
B. Second (third, etc) pages show up as ...

You can either just hit the F3 key or go to T ools » Options... » General » Keyboard/Mouse and change the setting for Open action (Browser) to Open in associated program .
Thanks for your reply, XnTriq. Unfortunately I think the problem is that XnView treats PowerPoint presentations as images ...

I see PowerPoint files (*.pps, *.ppt) as thumbnails in XnView (good), but when I double click them they open in XnView. I'd like them to open in PowerPoint. How can I change XnView's settings to do this when I double click on them?

The Windows file associations already have PowerPoint as the ...
