XnView Software

I don't know how many developers work on XnView... Actually only one, Pierre... :wink: ... but I updated to 1.7 today, so I started reading reading the changelog. I don't know how you keep putting out these updates, they're always full of really useful features (the stable diffusion stuff helps me ...

I have only recently come to the slideshow function of XnView, though I have run slideshows in other softwares over the years. In the music context, I prepare a set of slides of bits of a score, and then run the slideshow at an appropriate speed to give me a scrolling display to play from. I can no...

The problem is not present on earlier versions of Windows, like on Windows 7, it is fine. Only present with Windows 11 (haven't tried Windows 10). It must be a bug with XnView Classic itself on newer versions of Windows like 11. An XnView Classic update some time back was intended to increase Unico...

If I double-click 2.jpg to open it up in the viewer, then I navigate to "next image"... Instead of this ( expected ): 2.jpg -> 3.jpg -> 4.jpg -> 5.jpg ... This is what happens ( unexpected ): 2.jpg -> 1.jpg -> 3.jpg -> 4.jpg ... In the browser, try setting View > Sort by > Name -- Ascending and the...

Do you mean in the Browser? I don't use the Browser. I double-click on a file to open it up in the Viewer.

I think the sort order set in the browser determines the order in which files are loaded when stepping through images in the viewer?

The answer is to use XnView MP which has full Unicode support; whether foreign characters display correctly or not in XnView Classic depends on the locale set on the computer used.

Please see this earlier post.

Like IrfanView does it, where you could exit the program very quickly by clicking the invisible X button.

The X button appears when the cursor is moved over that area?

Some basic and rather surprising information on Guetzli in the Wikipedia Guetzli entry: o Guetzli is resource-intensive, requiring orders of magnitude more processing time and random-access memory than other JPEG encoders; o Guetzli supports only the top of JPEG's quality range (quantizer settings 8...

This is the file information for one file:


Presumably not a supported TIFF variant?

Guetzli can't do anything but 1x1,1x1,1x1. If the ouput is different it isn't a guetzli file. Right, I misread your post, if it should use 1x1,1x1,1x1 sub-sampling, presumably because overall that is optimal for outputting small files of acceptable quality, but doesn't in your tests then you are re...

Saving a jpg file as "JPG - Guetzli" in XnView MP uses the long time the guetzli encoder needs but saves a different file. Guetzli has always sub-sampling 1x1,1x1,1x1 but when i just tried it creates a sub-sampling 2x2,1x1,1x1 file with the size of the default jpg encoder. I believe that JPG - Guet...

I would like to use the JPEG LI Encoder in XnViewMP preferred for batch conversions. A further 'export to JPEG-LI' entry in file menu is not required. Later you can add it in XnConvert, too. The JPEG LI encoder (cjpegli.exe executeable file) needs a special uncompressed picture file format (e.g. PN...

I'm not talking about Classic. Mine is MP There were no default Guetzli in XnViewMP I installed it as I described in previous message, from Intsruments/Tools > Plugins... menu. Right, it seems to have been removed, it was causing frequent problems and there are I think better options available now,...

Guetzli is installed by default in XnView MP, I don't know about XnView Classic. But be warned that Guetzli is only suitable for minimising the filesize of small images, conversion time increases very rapidly as image dimensions increase, making its use normally impractical, and that there is a JPEG...
