XnView Software

In Viewer which order do you have?

Viewer? I read that the browsing happens based on which column header I click in Browser (File -> Browser). My order there alphabetical A->Z.
1) File -> Browser
2) View -> Sort by -> Name, Ascending, Name - alphabetic order
I have been criticizing how Xnview is ...

Despite file has no extension, it is displayed correctly by Xnview, XNview should also browse such extension-less files properly sorted. It is not the case. Here you can try to reproduce on these files.

If you don't use 'Keep original file when encoded...'?


Yes, I was not aware, sorry. I had that experimental option "Keep original file when encoded result is larger (experimental)" enabled/ticked on the Batch Convert / Output tab. After un-ticking it, then the source 6kB .webp has been replaced ...

If you convert only webp/jpg, you have the same problem?


In my first post, I have mentioned that what also fails is "webp to jpg". So I am unsure why you are asking. I have just spent time to download mine linked .webp file and tried to "Batch convert", selecting jpg as output format and it did ...

When I am in XnView files browser, select a few .avif image files, click menu item Tools -> Batch convert..., it does not produce the new images. I have tried webp and jpg as output formats.

Sometimes I need to change sorting of files in XNView MP (1.8.6 Linux .deb) file browser yet I prefer image viewer (when i doubleclick image to view in a full screen) to display always alphabetically. I continuously forget to switch back to alphabetical.

I think that I have been told it is not ...

Indeed. Thanks for very fast fixing!
Incredible file size savings: 3000x2000px (6Mp) 4MB file converted to a 300kB webp and I am unable to spot the difference in image quality! Very good.

Hello,

I have found that I can no longer view, export and batch convert into a WebP format since around 1.8.0 64bit MP
The changelog for this version (which i am having and installing as a .deb file on Debian 11) shows LibWebP 1.4.0 - https://www.xnview.com/mantisbt/view.php?id=3300

the sort method is saved for next session...

It would be handy to allow user to set default sorting method inside Settings and override this method (via folder browser, column header) only for current session while default global setting (in Settings) would be set to Alphabetical. This would seem ...

Same for me, and that is right, but only for current session. When you read my OP (original post, first one), I am criticizing that it modify default sorting for next sessions.

"Size" column in XnView MP folder browser:

and also when i do "View" > "Sort by" > "File size"

i can reproduce only when using 'sort by Type', but not Date or Filesize


I have just tried and for me the "last change date" (i am using non-english language) and "size" also changes the new new default viewing order across current and future sessions (wrong behavior IMO as described).
But even ...
