XnView Software

XnViewMP 1.9.8
Windows11 (25H2), display resolution 3840x2160, dpi scale 150%

Viewer/Browser - plugin

to reproduce
0. prerequisites
- set win dpi scale >100%, eg to 150
- download and install dll version of RIOT Plugin ( Riot-plugin-x64.exe )
1. open any image in Viewer
2. click RIOT... in ...

1. goto 'Camera RAW' tab in Settings>Formats>Read
2. change View from 'Embedded preview' to Half or Full size
3. play with Full/Half size rendering adjustments

if does not help - share your file

Note
when localizing strings with variables you have to:
- know what these variables mean to avoid issues AND
- follow exact variables/words order, especially when working with lists, where other options exist

Example
'Duplicate files naming' setting has 5 options (Settings>General>File ...

1. A new image (e.g. downloaded from the net or created by myself) appears in a directory I want to browse. This new image can be ignored by the Viewer for several hours until it becomes visible. Its miniature is seen in the Browser window, but the Viewer refuses to display it.

I cannot ...

I can reproduce, few notes though:
- set Autozoom for Fullscreen
- Zoom-out filter - any, except None and Bilinear

also there is another similar issue:
1. set start with file to Viewer - Fullscreen
2. set Autozoom for Fullscreen to No Fit
3. open any image
image will be very small (~50x50px)

I can reproduce
1. open folder with images in Browser
2. set FilterBy to Images OR Images (+folders)
3. copy/paste image into the same folder multiple times

ps. also there were translation issues of 2 strings related to with 'Copy (#) of <Filename>' option (incorrect variables order)

+1
for adding and option to alter behavior of flattening files functionality (in Settings>Filelist)
eg named something like:
"Resolve folder shortcuts" OR
"Follow folder links" OR
"Follow folder shortcuts when scanning subfolders"

Browser - filelist - sort order
folder shortcut (.lnk file) always sorts withing folder group, which is not standard behavior

Suggestion
make folder shortcuts sorted as file by default ...

Mais je n'ai pas trouvé la façon de récupérer (si c'est possible) la feuille de style du Thème intitulé "Par défaut"

just delete everything inside style_sheet.qss and style_sheet_win.qss

however, changing the background color should be easier:
App UI - context menu - add predefined background ...

check 'Select file in Browser when Viewer tab is closed' in Settings>Interface

I can reproduce, caused by antialiasing zoom-in filters (all except bilinear)
however, no issues with same filters during zoom-out

So essentially, I'd like to ask for a way to disable the error that pops up for a broken image..

check 'Ignore read errors' in Setting>Formats>Read

.. and to disable the filtering out of broken images in the total count that appears in the bottom left.

not possible right now, as Viewer ...

Browser - thumbnails
transparent thumbnails blend with background, which is inconvenient

Suggestion
add 'Use transparency grid' option (enabled by default)
as a child of 'Use alpha channel' in Settings>Thumbnail ...

looks like I misread your initial post - just use existing Crop toolbar
