XnView Software

Thank you. After having removed the one in opt/XnView now all is again as it should be.

One is in and another is in

This is what happens, when I start XnView as user in a terminal:
ksnip_20210903-221023.jpg

Message "File not available."

--------------------------------

Another thing is, that I can change things in the GUI, like choose another language (For example change from German into English). Restart ...

When I start XnView with sudo and change "program" into "user", press "OK" and restart XnView with sudo, then it's the same.
-> It's "program" again. Very strange.

My system is Linux.

I use the latest version of XnView MP.

I would like to change the location of my INI file.

It is now set to "Program", but I would like to change it to "user".

When I change this setting to "user" and start XnView new, then I have again "program".

Maybe this is, because ...

Ah yes I see . Thank you. You are right. When I try the same without root privileges I also can not see these files in thunar.

So: How can I have root privileges in XnView?

My System: Linux
My XnView MP Version 0.98.4

When I go to ...
/var/spool/cups/
... in my linux file manager (thunar) I get this:
ksnip_20210730-162939.jpg

So you see, there are several files in this folder.

When I open in XnView MP the folder
/var/spool/cups/
, I get this:
ksnip_20210730 ...

Thank you.

[But CUPS is the interface between a software application, such as a word processor or drawing program, and the installed printer, isn't it?
Yes.


You didn't create 10pages.pdf in it, did you?
No. This was just a random document to ask my question in post #1.


From the code you have posted ...

Thank you.


Will your multi-page files be produced in a Word processor such as Libre Office?
They will be produced by cups. (https://wiki.debian.org/SystemPrinting)


Are you able to make available a representative test file, in respect of colour, resolution and compression?

Not at that time ...

Thank you @cday

I want to prevent that by converting with the command ...
./nconvert -brightness 124 -gamma 0.72 -dpi 300 -xall -out pdf -multi XnVOut.pdf M-PDF3-1.pdf
... the quality of my source document (whose properties are unknown) is degraded more than necessary.

How could the quality be ...

I have made further experiments:

source file:
XnVOut_2.pdf -- 256kb

Command:
$ ./nconvert -xall -out pdf -multi -c 0 -o XnVOut.pdf XnVOut_2.pdf

target file:
XnVOut.pdf -- 1456kb

The source file is also uncompressed.
The command does not change anything.
So my expectation was, that now ...

OK I have found this in the meantime:

Summary:

-info can not tell the correct dpi because:

-a pdf can contain several pictures with different dpi's
-a pdf with no picture is in vector format (really?)

Thank you.

Here is another example:
./nconvert -dpi 30 -xall -out pdf -multi -c 0 -o XnVOut.pdf M-PDF3-1.pdf

./nconvert -info XnVOut.pdf

Output:
XnVOut.pdf : Success

Xdpi : 72
Ydpi : 72

My expectation was:
XnVOut.pdf : Success

Xdpi : 30
Ydpi : 30
