XnView Software

I cannot reproduce this anymore with 0.98 and thunar 1.8.16. This can be closed.

I found another program that crashes and produces the same error code as well: avidemux. Both avidemux and xnview use qt (right?) so I think this is probably an issue with qt or xargs or thunar, but likely not with xnview.

I suggest to close this issue unless I find some more info in the future.

So normally, I would run a program with a launcher like dmenu/wofi/rofi:
wofi --show=run | xargs swaymsg exec --
or
dmenu_path | dmenu | xargs swaymsg exec --
via a keyboard shortcut.

doing that (and open thunar, etc...), xnviewmp crashes reliably.
when I run it without the pipe to xargs ...

log stayed empty. However I tried starting thunar from command line and check its output when I open an image with xnview. As it turns out, there is no crash then. So it might be unrelated to Xnview and thunar after all. Currently I suspect an issue with the application launcher having trouble with ...

They do look different. Still crashes after a few seconds as before. Is there a way I can generate a crash log? like change the exec line to output to a file?

Some additional observation: It does work when invoked from the TUI file browser 'nnn'.

I don't have any DE installed. Just wayland and sway/wlroots. Is there another way to test this? The settings>Integration panel is empty in xnview.

EDIT: I tried uninstalling (incl. deleting config files) and using the system lib package instead (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xnviewmp-system ...

It's a fresh install so I never used an older version of Thunar. As it's the same with other file managers, even with different toolkits, I can't imagine that it'd be different for me with 1.8.9. running xdg-open from terminal works perfectly fine. no crashes.

XnView: MP 0.96.4 - 64 bit
OS: Arch Linux 64bit
Thunar: 1.8.15

XnviewMP crashes after 2-5 seconds after you open a file from the file manager "thunar". It happens regardless of file system, number/type of files, directory, etc. Other programs work as expected from thunar. And XnviewMP works as ...
