XnView Software

I would suspect these settings:


There's alot which seems to export data into a XMP file

Oh, you are right:

I noticed it just on the PDF files as I have several with the ∶ within the name.

So it seems images are read just fine, it's PDF files the parser don't like with the unicode character.

XnView MP Windows
Version 0.96.2 64bits (May 5 2020)
Libformat version 7.40
Windows 10 Professional 64bit

As a replacement for a colon in a file name, I recently started to use a certain (I think) unicode character, which works fine for Windows in the filename.

But XnViewMP isn't able to create ...

Alright, then I will just untick "Create high quality thumbnail" and then my problem should be solved. I'm kinda sure it doesn't matter if the thumbnail is a high quality or "regular" quality one. It will do it's purpose to show a smaller way of the image.

From my side this could be closed then, as ...

Woah... unchecking "Create high quality thumbnail" does the trick in all ways.

The ICC was disabled at the beginning, but even after I put the color profile, which makes XnViewMP crash, into any field, the portable XNView still works flawlessly:

IrfanView or PSPX8 did not say anything about a profile.

But GIMP does show the following:

I downloaded XnView Portable 2.49.2 and this doesn't have a problem at all generating the thumbnail with nearly not noticable memory consumption:


Disabling ICC stops XnViewMP from crashing at least, but the thumbnail looks strange:

For me it crashes always when I try it. And each time it creates a crash dump in my temp folder.

I attached the two dump files of the two tries I just made. Can't read them though, I hope you can.

Can the rest of my computer specifications can be a problem?

The PNG file was once optimized using pngcrush, I am not sure if this would be of any useful information.
