XnView Software

Ghostscript 64 is installed.

If I click the thumbnail, nothing comes up in the preview window, and the icon remains.

I've been messing around with xnview mp trying to get pdf files to show a preview on the thumbnail instead of icons. i've searched the forums for hours and every effort yields no results.


What's interesting is that when i start xnview, all my text and pdf documents show for a second, and then they ...

No it doesn't always happen, but I use the software often enough that it happens at least a dozen times a day.

It happens with any format in the folder.

Also, pressing esc sometimes leads to a blank screen, with mouse and keyboard becoming unresponsive. Happens on both my xeon and ryzen pcs.

I do insurance work and take photos for claims and there are tens of thousands of pictures that I keep on record and backed up not just after a claim is filed but I have to have pictures of equipment and installations that are "before" pictures too and it all has to stay archived. I keep things ...

I'm not sure how to explain how to replicate this, just wondering if anyone is having issues as commonly as I am.

When browsing through images, hitting enter to go from browser to viewer to fullscreen, using page up / page down, xnview mp regularly freezes or crashes.

When freezing, I can hit ...

F6 does nothing.

Is the function mapped to the keyboard? What is it called?

I use xnview with the folder tree on the left, and thumbnails on the right.

Is there a way to configure a keyboard button to switch my select cursor back and forth between a thumbnail and a folder? A way to keep my hands on the keyboard and not have to grab the mouse to make the switch?

The tab ...

While in fullscreen view, I can Alt+M to move a file to a different folder, or Alt+C to copy it.

If viewing the file in tab mode (not fullscreen) I can Alt+M to move, but when trying to Alt+C to copy, the menu becomes highlighted and sometimes pulls down the Effect sub-menu.

How can I get Alt+C ...

I love this program, and hate it at the same time.

I don't know what the issue is with video files, but I have never got a working arrangement with this program in spite of years of tinkering.

Xnview either crashes when trying to open a video file, requiring esc, ctrl+alt+del, hitting the power ...

I'm another user who has noticed this problem.

Let's say you have a folder with 10 files. You open up a thumbnail window. Double-click a thumbnail to view it fullscreen. Then hit page down 9 times until you get to the last file in the list. Hit delete.

Instead of the program saying to itself "the ...

So I'm not sure why I'm not getting any responses in this forum. I've only been asking why for 3 years...

When I move the first file in a thumbnail list, the program crashes.

Seriously... NOBODY can reproduce this? It has ALWAYS happened for me going back so many years I lost count.

If I open xnview with video thumbnails on, it loads the folder with thumbnails very slowly. Then, if I click on any video file just once, my monitor turns off. I have to hit escape, wait 10 seconds, hit the power button on my monitor and wait another 10 seconds, then hit the power button on my ...

I am NOT looking for cache settings. I've tried it with and without a cache. xnview always crashes when ...
