XnView Software

Renaming the XnView.ini file worked! Thank you so much!!!
I renamed the file nView.ini
When launching XnViewMP, the Startup Wizard appeared but I cancelled it and everything appears fine.

No, here are the contents of the package:

I've checked the thread, but I'm still stumped. I still don't find an xnview.ini file. But here's what I did find on my computer:
Library/Saved Application State/com.xnview.XnView.savedState
with several files -- data.data, window_1.data, windows.plist

Do I ...

I'm not finding a file xnview.ini. There's an xnview.icns and a toolbar.ini, but no xnview.ini
Maybe that's the problem?

My understanding is that .ini files are Windows files. True? I'm on a mac, not Windows.

I don't think I changed this setting. The application crashes before I can find out. Other than by star rating, I don't usually filter my photos. I organize by folders.

No, I'm able to view the contents of the new folder and the old folder with the Finder. But in XnView MP, the application doesn't see the new folder and all the images are in the old folder. The spinning wheel shows up quickly and I have to force quit.

Yes

I emptied the folder using the finder where the potential file might be. Then, I shutdown the computer and restarted. Interesting, when I launched XnViewMP (latest version), it displayed the files that used to be in the folder, then I got the spinning color wheel and the only way to quit was to ...

In the folder are psd's, afphoto's, dng's, and NEF's

Thanks Pierre!
It starts and I can see folders and pictures, but I quickly get the spinning color wheel and have to force quit.
Thank you!

I've been using XnViewMP without problems until I upgraded to your latest version. I'm on a Mac running High Sierra, 10.13.6, and get the spinning color wheel almost right away. I've reinstalled several times, but no luck. I've also tried an older version, 98.3, without success.
Please help!
