XnView Software

In XnView MP 1.9.8 (Dec 4 2025), Batch Convert → , Output → PDF → Settings only opens the image compression dialog. The PDF Page/Layout tab (page size, margins, placement) is missing.

That is surely the way it always was, you are possibly thinking of the settings available in the File > Print ...

Outputting converted single-image files to a multipage PDF is inexplicably not supported, although support has previously been requested...

@cday I don't get your remark, I must admit. "... multiple display sub order options..." - I don't know what it is. Under View >Sort by I see just various types of ordering....

Difficult to express clearly, an example for sort by modified date:

Thanks, I suspected that another software such as GMIP might open them, but it is no longer a default software in Linux Mint.

The first file's properties show it to be a tiled TIFF with JPEG compression, and it seems likely that the ...

Can you provide a sample TIFF file, attachment size limit 2MiB, otherwise by posting a download link?

Is the TIFF file possibly particularly large?

Have you explored the various browser View > Sort by options, multiple sequence options for a given option?

here's the example:
i have a huge library of scanned photos (with assigned categories) stored on different disks/folders/subfolders

i filter the files, select them all
but when i use 'Copy to...' then all files will be ...

How are you scrolling?

In Tools > Settings... > Interface there are options to scroll using the mouse and/or keyboard.

The practical issue is that all xnview.com software ever produced is the product of a single developer, Pierre, who makes it available as freeware for non-commercial use... :D

For a developer, designing software and coding it are their main interest, with testing and documentation lower priorities ...

In XnView MP Tools > Settings... > View > Filter -- Custom do you have AI/PDF/AI selected?

That would seem to be a prerequisite for viewing those formats, but possibly not sufficient... :wink:

See also Tools > Settings... >File list > Custom filter , to complicate matters, not sure how those two ...

What would be a good way to provide them?


Normally by providing a download link, which can be from a Google Drive account provided the download is set to be available to anyone, or maybe if size permits, as an email attachment to the xnview.com contact address on the website home page, with ...
