Re: 1.8.2: copy/move hangs with assigned, but disconnected network drive(s)


I think that the delay is when creating the folders tree, this can be slow if a network drive doesn't respond


Well, it's very slow to the point of being nearly unusable unless the disconnected network drives are unmounted. I've never seen such a behavior in any other app.

Maybe it's possible ...

Re: lossless 90 rotation of .heic, .avif, .jxl


- and jxl after that although not yet common it is AFAIK most advanced of these formats.


If the jxl was transcoded from an original jpg and the reconstruction is present, you can do jxl => jpg => rotate|flip => jxl.

This could be checked & automated by XnView or a script - I don't know if the ...

Re: PNG compression - room to improve?


oxipng is great, would be a lovely addition to a near perfect image handling tool (XnView that is :D ).


Concerning compression or optimizing tools - instead of integrating 'em into XnViewMP it might be feasible to add post-scripting capability - i.e. to run any script "cmd.exe yadayada.cmd ...

Re: Add animated AVIF support

For anyone looking to bridge the time until XnViewMP has animated avif support: The rather similar Nomacs does it (I'm using the Qt6 flavor) https://github.com/nomacs/nomacs

You can add additional image formats from some github repos, you just have to match the Qt version... using media autobuild ...

1.8.2: copy/move hangs with assigned, but disconnected network drive(s)

XnView: MP 1.8.2 - 64 bit
OS: Windows 64bit

If a network drive is assigned with a drive name like n: XnViewMP takes a long time before each copy/move operation ON OTHER DRIVES if the source of the network drive (or the network) is disconnected. Again, the source/move op doesn't have to do ANYTHING ...

Subject: 1.6.2: JPEG-XL decoder needs update for 0.10 encoded images

XnView: MP 1.6.2 - 64 bit
OS: Windows

The recent update to the development version of the JPEG-XL decoder is not backward compatible - to be specifiic, the older decoder has a bug that didn't matter up until now. Alas, all images encoded with 0.10 are not readable anyore, so the lib for XnViewMP ...

Re: 1.3.1: Broken back-fordward navigation for non-default image extensions


'include' can't be used for that. Try to disable 'Settings>File list>Recognize only by extension'?


I've disabled "Recognize only by extension" and the .vtx files (i.e. every extension which is an image) show up without adding the extension to the include list.

However, back-fordward navigation ...

Animated JPEG-XL

Using XnViewMP 1.0 on x64 Windows (10), XnViewMP doesn't play animated jpeg-xl - it just shows the first frame.

This new image format is able to significantly reduce the size of animated gif clips, like this one: https://acegif.com/wp-content/gifs/the-end-1.gif ... attached in a zip file is the gif ...

I completely agree. It happen a lot of time to me.
I vote for a confirmation dialogue box for moving an coping by drag and drop.

Re: patent free AVIF image format (AV1 key frame)

*ping*

The avif is the still image format of av1, basically a modern webp (which is based on vp8). There is native support in recent Windows versions, but not in 1809 Enterprise builds or other older LTSC/LTSB versions.
