As shown in the example, the original image is 489x396. If you want to make minor adjustments and crop it to 488x395, you can use the arrow keys to move it to the right and down (by 1 pixel), which is much easier and faster than using a mouse.

Every time I drag and drop two or more JPG images from File Explorer to my MP folder, one image always fails to display in the browser thumbnails (as shown in the image). I have to press F5 to update to fix it. Is there a problem?

Every time? Please send us your xnview.ini


1) I found that ...

Additionally, when searching for a folder using the quick filter, version 1.9.8 sometimes fails to display some thumbnails (as shown in the image above). Pressing F5 to update resolves the issue and displays all thumbnails correctly. (This problem did not exist in previous versions.)

P.S. Windows XnView MP, any version

I've had a similar problem. After rotating a JPG images within a thumbnail, it updates, but it doesn't seem to work when I switch to full screen. I have to move to another image within the thumbnail, press F5, and then switch to full screen to see the rotated JPG image.

It returned to normal after I restarted my computer. (Solved)

Why is there no sound when playing files of all media formats on Windows 11 version 1.9.5?

After setting the similarity level to 30% for the Find Similar Images function, no matter which original image is compared to its mirror image or rotated image, only the right-handed image (see image) is found, with a 90% similarity.

Is there a problem with the algorithm or some other reason?

P.S ...

When entering the image editing, after using the mouse to select a range, if fine-tuning is required, you can only use the mouse to zoom in and out but cannot use the arrow keys. This operation makes it difficult to accurately trim image pixels. I hope this can be improved and added.

Unless version v1.9.4 changes the way the database is searched, it is still more efficient to use the old version v1.9.3. I hope that your next new version will improve it. Thank you for your attention.

Please check the test version sent by PM, i need to understand the problem


I've noticed ...

The xnview.db file is approximately 3.5Gb.

Xnview MP's CPU load is approximately 6% when loading previews.

The metadata update add a little delay only the first time...
The problem is only after a startup of system?


It took me four hours to update the metadata.

This issue occurs every time I start my computer or reboot my system. Now, every time I access a folder or exit a folder, Xnview MP takes a ...

Since updating to version 1.9.4, every time I turn on my computer (Win11) and open XnView MP, it takes a long time to load the preview. For example, 5,000 images takes 4 minutes; 3,000 folders takes 9 minutes?!

I tried using version 1.9.3 for the same comparison, and both HDD and SSD load in just ...

It is recommended that the browser can split the preview window horizontally to allow comparison/reference of different images within a folder.
