XnView Software

It looks like 0.78 was a massive upgrade from QT4 to QT5. So experiences with previous versions might not be as useful as you think. But, in any case, I think this problem is likely beyond fixing by hackish laymen.

Weird thing I just noticed - not sure if this is a bug, but in the mac app this dylib is referenced:

/usr/local/lib/libwebp.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)

but doesn't exist:

I forgot mac has an ldd equivalent, so tried that. My novice reading is that the /System paths are unlikely to be a problem since Apple doesn't even allow root to change stuff in those by default any more. Based on my reading of https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/...

I'll add a "me too". With one possibly useful addition: I'm good at forgetting ordering, but I'm pretty sure this happened: (a) XnViewMP 0.78 installed on Mac OS X el capitan. I'm 95% sure I used it for a while and it was fine. (b) New totally clean OS install (moved to SSD, thought I might as well ...

Hi thought I'd post this in case others might find it useful. Ugly copy of base XnViewMP categories (the 5 color tags and 5 ratings tags aka Rating and Colour Label) to Mac Finder tags. It'd be pretty easy to also do other tags, and also do the hackish back-to-XnViewMP tags I did with the fake featu...

Space bar is what I'd naturally expect.

If it can't be that for some reason, I'd fall back to up-arrow or tab.

Thanks!

Currently, the only way to pause/play slideshow via a shortcut is the "Pause" key, which can not work (on a low level) in Mac OS X. Request another key be defined, or this to become user-selectable like other shortcut keys. Space like in XnView Classic would be nice. Or perhaps down-arrow which woul...

Yeah but this is XnView MP forum, right?

Anyway looks like this isn't currently something that works on Mac OS X, so I'll go put in a feature request.

Oh and this is the workaround I'm using at the moment, works well but somewhat annoyingly slow. Macros via BetterTouchTool . The first one just clicks the play/pause button, but is somewhat complex due to mouse focus issues. Works on my 1920x1200 screen, would need to modify for other screen sizes. ...

Yes, XnViewMP 0.76.1, under Mac OS X 10.10.5.

Unfortunately, none of that is useful. When I say intrinsically, I mean there seems to be no concept of the key under Mac OS X, e.g. it is not listed as a possibility in the OS header file that defines keycodes, and key remapping software can detect the key on a PC keyboard, but the OS can only use ...

Is there a way to pause/play a slideshow via keyboard without the PC "Pause" key?

Space bar didn't work under Windows or Mac. Pause key worked on Windows, but there seems to be no way to send the "Pause" keycode intrinsically on Mac (even if it is on the keyboard physically).

Oh nevermind I'm sure that's screen resolution, not image resolution.

Which sadly means my hopes for embedding thumbnails increasing speed are dashed.

After embedding 192x144 thumbnails in JPEG files with exiftool, XnViewMP reports that the thumbnails are 72x72 pixels. I'm guessing that stops it from using the thumbnails efficiently / without extra processing when its thumbnail size is also set to 192x144. Below are all the commands to reproduce. ...

Reading around a lot it looks like, if Mac has Addon support, no one has ever written about using it. So I'm doing a workaround, may be useful to you if all else fails. First I'm going to have a scheduled overnight job that scans for movies and creates new contact sheets if needed. Importantly, it w...
