XnView Software

Whatever you say, my friend. I can tell you that I will never use your software again, that's for sure. It's Amateur Hour here, all the time.

Bye.

Well, better late than never, I suppose.

But you have to wonder how many people have silently lost data during the years that this extremely severe and ugly bug has existed.

What you need to do is re-create the test scenario:


Tag about 50 files ( tif files)
Select tagged files and Cut them
Paste into target folder
But first, put some duplicates in the target folder , so that you get the dialogue that asks if you want to delete from left or right.
Do a few ...

Maybe this is why the bugs never get fixed .... my easy-to-understand post is now questioned in an odd way by the developer.


Meanwhile I am trying out FastStone Viewer, which is a XnView replacement and seems more stable.

I tagged a hundred files, then selected them, and cut them to paste them into another folder.

Strangely, I started getting messages that there were duplicates in the target folder (I don't think there were), so I was offered a choice to delete the left or right file, which I did for a few instances ...

Great stuff!

Could you send Pierre a sample file via e-mail ?

No, I'm kinda getting fatigued on this issue now. I'm just going to use Adobe Bridge. It should be easy enough to replicate this issue. ... I doubt Pierre is unaware.

Cannot fix it. Here is what happens:

Oddly, if I change between icon sizes in Windows File Explorer, the thumbnail disappears at the very large size and very small size. With XnV, no matter what icon size I set, it does not show the thumbnail.

Adobe Bridge has no problem with any ...

It's interesting ... I have just discovered that files saved with version 5.1 of PS have this problem, but if I open them with PS CC and re-save them after making a minor adjustment, then the thumbnails appear in Windows File Explorer (using the Ardfry codec mentioned above). However with XnVMP I am ...

What version of PS did you use to create those files?

If XnView cannot “decipher” the layers (because the PSD version is too recent), the embedded “composite image” (flattened preview) is used to create the browser thumbnail.

Those thumbnails you see in my screenshot were created with a pre-2015 version of Photoshop. So are you saying you can only ...

And I suppose more relevant here is the PhotoShop Thumbnail resource ("Thumbnail resource format")

So how are you currently creating thumbnails? From an internal thumbnail layer in the file? Is that the "flattened layer" I mention above?

i have no problem with my psd files

Try saving a few new ones without compatibility. I turn off compatibility because I get smaller files that way.

For example, from this page :

Part of the problem ... is that as well as saving your layered PSD, Photoshop adds a hidden flattened ...

I suspect the answer to this, for serious users of Photoshop, is to install Adobe Bridge again. Pity, I was hoping to get away from it....
