XnView Software

Update.

I have another machine at home running Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon - and XnView MP 1.9.1 installed by flatpak. On this OS, the save file operation works without any issue.

However, at Fedora 41 KDE, even after newest software update - it still cannot save any images. I have to resolve to the ...

Another software can do this task :. . . .
Yess, I know there are many ways to achieve this. In Linux, this is easilly achieved by a bash script. In Windows, either vbs or Autohotkey script are well suited for this task.
Questionable if possible to fix by a windows bat file.

But it's a good ...

Hi forum.

I sometimes get images from an apple device sent in mail, and those image files typically are stripped for any exif data.

So I may sit on a bunch of files where the date and time stamp are part of the file names, such as
20190622_055718955_iOS.webp
20190622_055827389_iOS.webp
20190622 ...

Thanks for reply.

Yes, When executing the xnview.sh file, It looks like XnView are now able to save image files without issue (but version 1.9.0)

This issue I got after upgrading to a newer version of XnView.

OS: Fedora 41 KDE (official spin).


To reproduce:

Open XnView, navigate to a folder containing images
Open any image.
Do something, anything with the image - or do not do any changes. This doesn't matter.
Save file to any ...

Hi.

MX Linux user here, KDE Plasma v. 5.27.5

For some reason, adding Gimp to list of alternative apps doesn't work for me. Simply put, after I right-click on a thumbnail in viewer, Open with --> gimp-2.0 , nothing happens. No dialog box, no new window. I'd expected that Gimp started.

I'm ...

Ah, of course, my mistake
Here, I've manually shifted to frame 2 by right click on image canvas and "Navigate to --> Next page"

Firefox Brave So in both Firefox and Brave, the webp frames appear normally.

Ah, yes - here is how the second frame actually looks on screen

The webp file consist of 8 frames.

The second frame - if rendered properly should look like this:

When manually scrolling through the frames in an animated webp page using Next/Previous page buttons, only the first opened image looks like intended. All following frames look garbled (i.e. probably XnView simply view one frame at a time with masking, disregarding previous frame instead of adding ...

Hi.

Webp files does support animation. As a workaround today, I can make several images into a single multiple pages (or frames) webp file using Gimp with layers.

The nice thing about webp files with multiple pages is the compression, which I figured is a good feature when having a lot of less ...

Hi.

The default tooltip format string is this:
<b>{Filename}</b><br>{Modified Date} - {EXIF:Date taken}<br>{Size KB} Kib

However, this yelds the date format I'm not familiar to use. Is it possible to change this string so that the date formats like Y-M-D ?

Ok, forget about it, I just found ...

Update

Yesterday I started the same computer, and I wasn't able to repeat the behaviour :?

I tested both the same folder (where video files also was located) as well as other folders. In all the tests, I could get XnView MP to set file date stamps without any issue.

I don't know about this ...

I did use version 1.6.1 very shortly, so I don't know if this issue was introduced in 1.6.2 or in older versions too.
