XnView Software

OK, I lied (but not intentionally)... I thought I had something else to do but I had time after all.

So I've just installed several older versions and tested each by simply opening and closing the video player (I did not actually play the video). For each downgrade, I just ran the installer on top ...

Oh wait, look what I found... https://download.xnview.com/old_versions/XnView_MP/

I'll be back with some results, but I can't guarantee how quickly.

you have not this problem with 1.9.1?

I don't recall seeing it, but I'd have to downgrade to 1.9.1 to verify. Is that version available to download? If several older version are available I could "walk back" until I find a working version (assuming there are no other ill effects from downgrading).

Well, given that this problem just showed up in the latest XnView and that I've had zero issues with anything else (I use multiple graphics / photo programs) I'm not ready to mess with drivers yet.

Crashes usually automatically create .dmp (Crash dump) files on Windows.

Those are the minidumps -- C:\Windows\minidump\*.dmp. But it's not creating one, nor a full size C:\Windows\memory.dmp. It just vanishes. I was hoping my XnView MP wrote its own log.

However, I have AMD CPU / GPU as well ...

There is no crash dialog. It just gives me a background busy pointer for maybe three seconds and *poof*, it's gone -- vanishes with no further info. Is there a log somewhere you need? I tried attaching my xnview.ini but there's apparently no way to attach a text file so I'll PM it to you.

XnView MP 1.9.2, Windows 11 Home 24H2

It's also crashing for me after exiting the video viewer. I've not narrowed it down to a specific DLL, but here's what happens:

Double-click to open video in a new tab
Optional: Click the arrow button to play the video (crash subsequently occurs whether or ...

(seems like possibly this may have been mentioned before?)

Latest version of XnView MP (1.9.1) on Windows 11, but this has happened for many versions.

When I drag the fullscreen XnView MP app window by the titlebar from one screen to another (same resolution on both screens, 1920 x 1080) the ...

Thanks for the update. However, the following year (2022) I bought a new laptop with Windows installed and that's what I've been running since. And my patience with GIMP finally ran out so I've switched to Affinity Photo, so ...

But again. thanks.

Given what it is (essentially file management using XnView) it's not a big deal. No worries.

Just remembered I already had Vimeo installed from long ago.

First I create a new folder in a parent with only a few child folders that don't fill the screen. The new name is highlighted by default, properly.

Then I create a new folder in a parent with ...

I'll try, let me find something to record my desktop actions.

I'm running 1.18 (Apr 14, 2025) on Windows 11 and it's still doing it. That is if the new folder appears in the blank space already visible on screen the name is editable (i.e., has a blinking caret) and selected / highlighted. However, if it's off-screen when I scroll down it's editable but not ...

XnView MP 1.6.4 on Windows 11

I have a small collection of simple DWG drawings in a folder and XnView MP doesn't treat them all the same. When the "All" filter is enabled, some are shown as thumbnails while others have the associated app's icon (QCAD). Although QCAD created these files, they're ...

I use XnView MP for initial culling after a photo shoot, since it's much faster (and more capable as a browser) than my raw editor. There are times the difference between one shot and another "identical" one is the presence or absence of clipped data.

I check the histogram but sometimes it's ...
