XnView Software

No, I didn't need to configure anything on Ubuntu 24.04 to get XnView 1.8.1 to show my jxl files.

I noticed that Linux Mint 21.3 is based on Ubuntu 22.04, so I tried running XnView 1.8.1 on my VM install of Ubuntu 22.04. The AppImage version worked fine and showed my jxl files. When I unpacked and ...

Running the Appimage under Ubuntu 24.04, XnViewMP successfully displayed my JPEG-XL test image.

Thanks Pierre for getting this working.

Yes, I'm finding the same - no support for JPEG XL in 1.8.0 under Linux (or Ubuntu 24.04 in my case). I've managed to get XnViewMP to display AVIF files, by putting a library link in XnView's lib folder to the system's libheif.so library. But I just can't figure out a way of getting XnView to ...

Fair enough, it's likely my 24.04 installation then. Perhaps it's a result of me doing a minimal install of Ubuntu 24.04 or the fact that I'm running it in a VM. An unpacked tgz archive of 1.8.0 runs fine on my 24.04 install. So, really I'm just curious as to what might be stopping the AppImage from ...

AppImage (XnView_MP.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage) crashes during startup

I'll take a look at the vcpkg package manager site. Thanks very much for your help on this.

Thanks for your response. As a result I removed the 0.10.2 version of the libjxl package and installed the 0.8.2 version from the JPEG XL github. As before, Gnome's image viewer displayed a JXL image but XnViewMP did not :(

You mention that XnVIewMP does not use the libjxl library from the JPEG XL ...

I'm running XnViewMP 1.7.1 on Ubuntu 22.04. I've installed libjxl v0.10.2 DEB package from JPEG XL github site. JXL files open fine in Gnome's image viewer but not in XnViewMP. So, which version of the libjxl library is XnViewMP 1.7.1 looking for?
