XnView Software

Windows Explorer and Windows Photos rotate the 1000x1000 image losslessly, without removing any pixels.
Couldn't XnView do the same, or is such behavior wrong somehow (against jpeg specs, maybe)?

I don't need to rotate such images often (I can use Explorer for those rare cases), so mostly I'm just ...

HEIC is the default format not just on iPhones, but also on (most/all?) Samsung phones and possibly others too. So there might be billions of people snapping HEIC photos regularly.

That's great. I'm looking forward to testing the new version.

But excuse me if I insist on the ability to disable GPU acceleration. And not just for this problem, but I usually find that CPU decoding works better.

Yes, latest version on Windows.

Can GPU-accelerated video decoding be disabled?

Whenever I navigate to a video, it's a 50% chance that Xnview MP freezes and I have to force close it.

Is anyone having success playing videos without freezes, glitches or crashes?

Here is a sample for you to try. Just a folder with a jpg and a mp4 video file. Try to open the jpg and then ...
