XnView Software

Ah I found I needed to install libheif-dev specifically to get this to work.


On Fedora this package is named libheif-devel

So: sudo dnf install libheif-devel

Some additional (Fedora) libraries I have found to be useful to load heic/heif when using other image viewing programs such at ...

I'm helping a friend update XnViewMP because he is complaining about recurring update messages within XnView.

Meanwhile, the Flathub version is not up-to-date (stuck at 1.4.4), so I had to download the AppImage version.

This is just an FYI . . .


Thanks for the continued great work on XnView!

The Flatpak seems to lag behind the software's official release cadence.


And I should have mentioned, mahy people have problems with various Flatpak system integrations and permissions.

Not everyone knows about Flatseal, for example.


It would be great if XnView offered a (current) repo or ...

Hi @wisnoskij


Ah, I found an flatpack which must just include libnsl because it runs on my system without any tinkering.


Unfortunately, a day or two ago the latest flapak exposed in the Software manager in Fedora (i.e. Gnome-Software) showed only XnView MP 1.01 .

Just before writing this post ...

Hi Pierre:


it seems that you have to install libnsl


AppImages are supposed to be self contained , right?

Today I tried again with the newest XnView 1.3 AppImage on a newly installed Fedora 37 (beta) machine, available at https://download.xnview.com/XnView_MP.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage

This ...

I am trying to run XnViewMP from your Appimage on Fedora 35.

I downloaded XnView_MP.glibc2.18-x86_64.AppImage and it will not run, in spite of having execute privileges.

When running from terminal to assess I get
/tmp/.mount_XnViewdr7VSf/usr/XnView/XnView: error while loading shared libraries ...

No, no ! - just yesterday instead of converting some RAW files in C:\output\myTempFolderForNewProject I accidentally converted them in C:\Output

Having a checkbox enabled (by default or left checked from the previous session) which will blindly delete all the files from destination will be a ...

I would like to be able to:

delete * from the output folder prior to starting a batch operation

This would make it easier to deal with all currently transformed images going to a "standardized" folder I use for such operations without needing to remember to clear the folder first . . . or (worse ...

Indeed, usage of (c) apparently has no legal meaning in the US.

Some copyright attorneys say that using verbiage like "Copyright (c) 2010" can actually invalidate a copyright claim . . . or at least make it far more difficult and expensive to enforce.

If Pierre cannot use © for some reason, it ...

That is good news. Considering there are a number of other enhancement requests for text annotations, I hope you will consider those too. Especially mine

please see:

Is this planned in the near future?

Until you have time to add suggested slide show features like those at
http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=16280

could you consider "quickly" making the "browse for folder" dialog box resizeable?

The dialog to which I am referring is in Slide Show / Add Folder (button).

Indeed, perhaps ...

True, and thanks for pointing it out.

Alas, that thread has had no contributions for more than 2 years . . .

For the years I've been using your program and seeing you've nailed down all other trivial features, I'd say it's time you added Left/Center/Right text callout alignment.

I agree, but your vehemence is a little over the top. Keep in mind this is not a commercial product for which you have to pay ...

It would be great to have a additional ways to add images or folders to slideshows.

Two options I think you should consider:

1. context menu (right-click an image or folder) option: "add to slideshow" -- this would add the files to a slideshow even before opening the slideshow dialog.

2. drag and ...
