XnView Software

I have a jpg image, that does get shown with wrong colors in XnView:

zompie-colors.jpg

I have had a case where a jpg would display in wrong colors because the setting for "Use embedded ICC profile" was not activated,
(see http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=31685)
but here, it's not ...

Has ICC profile ( T ools » O ptions... » Thumbnails » Icon info » File info ) is activated by default. This tells XnView's browser to display a small icon next to the thumbnail if an image contains a profile.

Ok, but directly opening the image, i get no clue that there is an embedded profile ...

Thanks, yes.
But since this is something rather obscure to most users, couldn't / shouldn't xnview at least inform the user that he'd need to switch to a different type of displaying?

If i set the limits to 150x1500 ...

This might be worth a note in the download area?


Thanks again!

The shell ext. does not show up in file-open dialogues, eg. Browsers like chrome or Firefox. (On Win 7 64)
I have not used the extension in a while, but i am quite sure, this used to work once. (maybe under XP)

I see that eg. my zip software (7-zip) also does not have an entry in chrome, but eg ...

Supporting this.
I think not greying out outside the selection is the biggest downside of XnView.

Much has been discussed and Mockups posted in this thread:

I think an easy solution could be a fade% option in the settings, quick ...
