XnView Software

Okay, then I understand, why I do not see step 1.

But the progress bar of 'step 2' takes 2 times!

I started a similar file search today and was a little bit suprised, that the process starts with step 2 of 2.
After step 2 XnViewMP need a further step to search similar files. So I think the step proccess directly starts with 2 and not with 1.

I think XnViewMP did not have this function since the first version.
It is not useful to auto select all duplicates.

You can use XnConvert from this website, which has the same batch conversion mode and functions.
It use multi-threading, too.

Most of the time I use XnViewMP and XnConvert with the same settings.
Today I wanted to use different settings and changed the jpeg/webp compression.
I was suprised that XnConvert use the same settings than XnViewMP.
Is it possible and correct?

Fantastic. You found the reason for the performance problem. Thank you!

The first step, the analysing phase, is slow. The previous XnViewMP was much faster in this phase.

I often use the batch conversion with different folders and use the 'skip' output file setting, if the output file already exists. Sometimes there are only a few new files in the source folder, which I want to convert. The batch conversion process is much slower than in previous versions of XnViewMP...

Eine Störung lag nicht vor. Es lag daran, dass die deutsche Übersetzung nicht 1:1 mit der englischen Übersetzung übereinstimmte. Daher bin ich im ersten Moment von einem Programmfehler ausgegangen.

I write Helmut a message to check it.

Hallo Helmut, die Übersetzung hier ist nicht so perfekt gelungen, weil mit der Funktion nicht nur der Dateiverlauf, sondern auch der Ordnerverlauf gelöscht wird. Das führt zu Störungen im Browser, wenn man den zuletzt verwendeten Ordner beim Start des Programmes geöffnet haben möchte. :-( xnviewmp.p...

Now I know the reason for the problem: I activated a checkbox in settings menue, which clean the file and folder history. The german translation of this setting entry is not precisely. It says clean file history after closing xnviewmp. It although cleans the opened directory history. So it does not ...

XnViewMP 0.97.1 ignore this setting. It starts with a blank browser.

In some cases the treeview refresh and in others it does not update the folder list. It is a problem of Windows 10 system rights. I am an user with admin rights. I can create folders, but XnViewMP sometimes does not refresh the treeview. If I directly start XnViewMP with admin rights, everything is ...

I often use the browser window to organize my pictures and create new directories to sort my pictures in new folders. If I create a new folder e.g. "facebook", XnViewMP will show it in the right area, but not in the treeview on the left side (see screenshot). The only way to get an updated treeview ...
