XnView Software

Thanks for your fast answer, I will install the old XnView and try it there.

How to start a SlideShow (DiaShow) in XnViewMP?

I am using the flag "Fit over" now in XnView to scale to the shorter side.

e.g. my pictures with 2592 x 3872
are scaled to 1536 x nnnn (n may be 2294 or anything else, depending on the ratio)

My question is: How can I scale to the shorter side by using NConvert?

I am using this command at the ...

How did you create this picture?
Is it a picture out of the camera,
or did you made any rotations with any software.

There is a lot of software that cannot handle the orientation tag correct.
XnView can handle the tag, but there is a small bug by recreating the thumbnail of a rotated picture ...

Windows Vista has a new format to show the rating for all files as 5 stars.
Nikon ViewNX is supporting the new Vista feature.

It would be great, if XnView could read and write the rating in the same way as Vista is doing it.

I think there are 3 different cases:

1) Temporary rotate an image for display according to the orientation flag should not change the orientation flag.

2) Permanent rotation of an image with lossless JPEG rotation should reset the orientation flag, so that this image is not again rotated by any ...

Ich habe noch einen Korrekturvorschlag.

Unter "Mehrfaches konvertieren | Größe ändern"
gibt es ein Flag, das folgendermaßen übersetzt ist:

Fit Over --> Einpassen

Mit Fit-In wird Einpassen gemeint, Fit-Over ist aber das Gegenteil davon.

Wenn z.B. bei Breite = 1000 und Höhe = 1000 eingegeben wird ...

If you save JPEG pictures as NEF file,
this is complete different for a NEF RAW-File.

It is a JPEG file with edit steps saved in a NEF format.

Thanks a lot, this was the solution.

After setting this option, the next starts may be without admin option again.

correct.

I'm pressing F12
setting the checkbox at: Eintrag "Betrachten mit XnView" dem Kontextmenü hinzufügen
(sorry, I have only the german version installed)
click OK
press F12 again
Checkbox is reset

This checkbox looks good,
but it is disabled every time I exit this requester with OK.

Is this feature compatible with Vista?

This problem does not occur any longer (since V 1.95)
All settings keep stable, even when a new version is installed.

I like the shell extensions of XnView (configured with sub-menues),
but it seems to work only with pictures, not with directories.

When I right-click on a directory, I have an entry: Browse with IrfanView.
I would rather like to have an entry: Browse with XnView.

How can I quickly browse a ...

In most Viewers (including Vista Explorer) the orientation of portrait JPEGs is wrong,
only XnView and some other viewers are showing the correct rotation according to the orientation flag.

If I rotate a picture in the new Nikon ViewNX, only the orientation flag is changed (in NEF and also in JPEGs ...

The new Nikon Viewer (ViewNX) has a 5 star rating that is compatible to Windows Vista.
I think it would be a good idea to add such a rating in XnView also.
At the moment, no other Viewer (except the Vista Explorer) is able to show this rating.
