Hello Pierre,

.deb bug for Debian 13 (trixie) and MX Linux 25

I have a bug with XnViewMP. because the libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 library changed it's name but its still available, its libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 now. they XnView will need to change their debian control file.

(from here: https://forum.mxlinux.org ...

Bravo Pierre, joli travail de longue haleine et un joli aboutissement pour ce logiciel multi-plateforme et multi-tâches qu'est XnViewMP V1.00.

... Like JohnFredC said (and Clo humour too ) here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=27768
Our connections across this virtual world are so tenuous... (and into the real world too)

So Happy end of year and Chrismas to all.

... Thank you Pierre for all your hard work.

And ... Marry Christmas to All.

Bonjour,

Même si c'est tard, ça servira pour d'autres.
Mieux vaut toujours éviter les accents et caractères spéciaux dans les noms de fichier et de dossier.

Le mieux c'est de les renommer à mon avis.

Hello to all, and Pierre.

For information, If your are into Linux you can recursively convert first the .svg to .png with a bash script (with inkscape installed) ... then open them into XnView.

#!/bin/bash
mkdir "$PWD"/png
for file in $PWD/*.svg
do
filename=$(basename "$file")
inkscape "$file ...

Hello all,
Thank you Pierre for the AppImages it useful and it's a good idea.

Linux x64 version: http://download.xnview.com/XnView_MP-0. ... 4.AppImage

Bonjour,
Oui, c'est un problème assez ancien, qui plus et est dangereux (risque de suppression de photos par mégarde). Il faudrait trouver une solution afin que cette situation ne puisse pas arriver (entre l'image et la vignette dans le cache .db).

...Hello ... Le .deb ne fonctionne pas ?

... Merci pour le partage de la doc/tuto sur les métadonnées avec XnViewMP.

Hello, ... +1

...
- As far as i can see XnView aims to always fully read the entire directory before actually letting the user do anything. This leads to the half minute long loading times of any directory.
This is a pretty stupid idea when working with larger number of files. acdsee resolved it by never loading ...
