XnView Software

Still waiting for an update but, in the meantime, I've discovered the same strange issue with PDF files. Here I have two - one displays a thumbnail and the other doesn't.

2) PFI files:
The first pfi file is being treated as an 'other' filetype whereas the second one is recognised as a filetype.

Yes i'll check

It's been nearly two months, just wondering if you've checked into this issue yet?

Thumbnail doesn't use layers but embedded image so you can see a difference

Thanks, that explains it.

Thanks, I look forward to hearing about what you discover.


XCF has file type 'Gimp', and PFI 'Photofiltre'

Ah yes, my mistake, I didn't realise I was sorting by Type ...

Thanks Pierre, have sent them through.

xnview wrote: Wed Feb 15, 2023 7:06 am could you send me the files?

Yes, absolutely. How would be the best way to do that?

Can someone please tell me what is happening with these files? The first one is an xcf file used by GIMP and the other two are pfi files used by PhotoFiltre. They all contain layers.

1) XCF file:
XnView displays one layer as the thumbnail but a different one as the preview.

2) PFI files:

My previous image viewer had sort options that don't require selecting sort direction (ascending, descending) after selecting sort type. The ascending types are at the top of the list and the descending types are at the bottom of the list displayed in parentheses. For example:

Name
Extension

Thanks for confirming that for me. What a shame. Well, fingers crossed it will be added as a feature at some point

I support kiwichick's (and user0 's) request.

For example, in Settings -> Interface:
- add "Enable High DPI Scaling" checkbox (enabled by default)
- add some dropbox with windows scale factors (get currect win value by default)
- etc

Workaround (Windows 10):

Quit XnView MP.
Copy qt.conf ...

Excellent! Can't wait for 1.4.1 to be released.

Subject: 1.4.0: Crash when using Icon snapshot on/off

XnView crashes when using Icon snapshot on/off - either the button or View menu entry

Effect: XnView crashes

To reproduce:
1. Open .ico file in Viewer

Why doesn't the XnViewMP page on the website include the changelog for the latest version (1.4.0)? It only goes up to 1.3.1.


This has been an issue for quite some time. I finally stopped looking at the changelog on the main page because it was often outdated; instead I started coming to these ...

Please add No DPI Scaling as an option rather than having to create a shortcut using the -noDpiScaling flag. Using the flag means the exe file can't be used and this can be problematic. For example, my file manager allows scripting so I can create a script where I select an image then click a button ...

UPDATE: So I've discovered that it only appears in the context menu when right-clicking a folder. It doesn't work for files. Is this the expected behaviour?

I've downloaded the latest version (1.96) 64-bit zip file, opened XnConvert as admin (right-click exe > Run as administrator), and checked Add ...
