Here is proof it is happening, I screen recorded it, see how annoying this is?

No, XnView autoselects a random filename, its bizarre. And sorry for not saying what OS,etc I'm using.
Can someone please replicate this on their side, for example running ZorinOS in a VM?
I'm using ubuntu/ZorinOS. XnView MP 1.7.1 64 bit

When I go to save a picture & choose a different image type, it then autonames it a random image filename that already exists in the same folder.
Here's what happens, I edit an image, I go to save a copy of it, not save the original. I then click PNG format, but then it chooses a filename ...

Thanks, how you're describing it is not like GIMP or photoshop, which, when one crops to content, it crops to the layers borders. But does XnView even have layers? Thats what i'm trying to do.

See attached photo/screenshot.

Where is the "Fill" tool like this screenshot?
Here is an example from MS Paint:

Also, how do i clear or erase everything quickly, or turn everything completely white?
possibly a shortcut? Erase/turn everything white like this? The "clear" shortcut doesnt work very ...

@cday, do you know of a way in linux where I can have a button in the 1st level right click menu that converts any photo to PNG?
I found a script but it only does one photo at a time, I want to select multiple & do this. Windows OS had all kinds of tools that did this exact thing.

@cday, I just reinstalled my ZorinOS(ubuntu based) and it seems to load very quickly now, so much better.

@cday: No, changing it under the view tab didnt remove it, right now that option doesnt do anything at all, whether on or off. But I recall 20 minutes ago,
when i turned it on it added even more grids to the area selection. What actually removed the grids completely was "Tools>Settings>View ...

I have XnView MP Linux,Version 1.4.3 64bits. I told user "cday" about this issue & they said they were experiencing this issue too &
that I should make a post about it.

I just recently installed & am trying XnView for the 1st time, I am used to using IrfanView for Windows 7.
Right now I'm using ...

@cday, thanks! The only other issue I have for right now is that I'm using ZorinOS(ubuntu based) & it takes forever for XnView to start up or load a photo.
Even if I have XnView's empty browser open already(the application already started). Whereas in Windows 7, even with a slow/failing SSHD ...

I have XnView MP Linux,Version 1.4.3 64bits. Today is my first time using XnView MP. I just want to say thank you for creating this.
I was using IrfanView for Windows & this is the closest equivalent so far :)

One small issue is how the area selection tool works, the border,etc, how do i change ...
