XnView Software

In XnView browser, yes I can browse to the HEIC file and open it. But if I directly double click the HEIC file in Windows Explorer, it will not open the HEIC file. In stead, it only brings up the XnView browser.

It seems that you have a problem in registry with associations


Sorry for ...

Do you mean XnView.ini? There is no HEIC in plugins section. Do I need to add one? How to do this? I just decompressed HEIC zip files in plugins folder.

In XnView, are you able to load a HEIC file?

It seems the bug was not fully fixed. I cannot double-click an HEIC file to open it, neither can I right click an HEIC file and open with XnView. I have to browse to it and open it inside XnView.

please check your registry entry for heic

How to check this? I'm using portable version.

Besides, displaying HEIC (in browser view) is very slow.

Yes, confirmed..

yes a fixed version will be soon available

It seems 2.49.5 fixed this bug but one question, what is the b4bit plugin for? It seems there is no 64bit XnView.

HEIC plugin seems not working with 2.49.4. Double clicking an HEIC image only brings up the main interface. Preview still works but it won't open the image
