Re: Preserve alpha/transparency when converting 32-bit PNG to BMP

You are right, Pierre.

Apologies for not testing properly, and jumping to conclusions.

This is a real plus for XnView/XnConvert, as most other apps do not handle this.

Re: Preserve alpha/transparency when converting 32-bit PNG to BMP

Why is the part of the image surrounding the ball transparent in the PNG, but white in the BMP ?

How can I get the white bit to be transparent ?

Why doesn't NConvert convert it whilst preserving the transparent part (ie. so it looks just like the PNG source) ?

Re: Preserve alpha/transparency when converting 32-bit PNG to BMP

-32bits option doesn't work. I'm amazed that this relatively simple feature is still not supported (and not just in XnView, but also in some other Image viewers), despite PNG and BMP being two popular formats. There are lots of other options for controlling what you want to happen during the convers...

Preserve alpha/transparency when converting 32-bit PNG to BMP [Solved]

I want to convert a load of images in different formats (some with tranparency/alpha channels) to a single format whilst preserving the alpha/transparency. I chose BMP as the target format (but may change to PNG in the future). As a simple test in using NConvert to do this, I have a 32-bit PNG image...

Re: Native EXR format support or 64-bit plugin ?

Would it be possible to convert the Unicode to UTF-8 when using the IlmImf.dll in the Unicode/Wide versions of GFL ? Also, do you have any timescale of when a new version of GFL will be available with OpenEXR support added back in (in case you post a test build here, can you post the 64-bit Wide/Uni...

Re: Native EXR format support or 64-bit plugin ?

I had a look at the current GFL DLL's, and previous versions, and it looks like OpenEXR support disappeared after GFL 2.70. I couldn't check 2.80, 2.82, 2.90 or 3.05, but 2.70 has support for IlmImf.dll, but 3.10 and 3.40 don't have support for it. Would it be possible to add OpenEXR support back in...

Re: Native EXR format support or 64-bit plugin ?

Just noticed a bug in XnView, OpenEXR is listed twice on the Supported Formats dialog. Also, OpenEXR is not listed on the Plugins dialog, even when installed.

Any chance of a fix for GFL SDK to get it working with EXR images ?

Re: Native EXR format support or 64-bit plugin ?

I've just compiled the Win32 C example (provide with GFL SDK), with both VS2005 and VS2010, and copied over all the XnView plugins to the plugins folder, and some of the plugins don't seem to work. For example, 3DSMax and Djvu do work and are listed in the Available formats dialog, but OpenEXR/EXR i...

Re: Native EXR format support or 64-bit plugin ?

I think you're correct about it being UTF-8. Is it possible to change the unicode/Wide versions of GFLSDK so that it works correctly with the UTF OpenEXR DLL (and any other plugin DLL's, if possible) - converting between unicode and UTF-8 where necessary. Otherwise it means you have to use the ANSI ...

Re: Native EXR format support or 64-bit plugin ?

Can't get it to work. IS the one included in XnConvert x64 a unicode version ?

If not, can you provide an x64 unicode build of it (and for completeness, an x86 unicode build) ?

Native EXR format support or 64-bit plugin ?

Can you add native support for EXR images to GFLSDK, rather than having to use a plugin ?

Alternatively, can you provide a 64-bit version of IlmImf.dll, which works with the 64-bit unicode version of GFLSDK ?

Thanks in advance!

Forget it. Just found out that you need to install msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll.

I am trying to get OpenEXR working with GFL SDK 3.40, and have copied the IlmImf.dll plugin to the plugins folder but it's not working. I also tried with XnView (ie. copying the same dll to the XnVioew plugins folder), but it doesn't seem to pick it up - it picks up most of the others OK. Is this a ...

I prefer to use XnView in portable mode (ie. by having xnview.ini) in the program folder. Even with this, XnViewMP 0.35 still puts files in my C:\Users folder. When using an .ini file, I would prefer it if all files were created in/under the location of the xnview.exe program folder. This would also...
