XnView Software

Thanks.....
So in Users\LocalRoaming\AppData\...\XnView .....but was in...


So in Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\XnView\XnView.ini then Open with=0 etc......

Using Windows 7.........32 or 64

I could not find an xnview.ini....looked in all the folders...and did a computer file search,,,,,,,

I love the Right/Click Open With......I use 4 different Graphic Editors and this is great for launching....

For some reason, after clearing all and adding the 3 main editors.....I now find 5 additional have been entered.....a couple were revised versions that I didn't add....another was a plugin ...

So I checked and I had Embedded Thumbnails Checked..........Unchecked it and the from the Menu checked Rebuild Thumbnails.....voila and now they did rebuild and correct the problems in that directory...........

It would be nice to understand what Embedded thumbnails means and does......for now ...

Simple.....a lot of pictures use the wrong Thumbnail....as shown here.....

I seem to have a lot of the thumbnails that show the wrong image.......(1.97.2)

Example, I click on an Image that is in color but the file name is for the B&W version....I now try view and refresh and nothing changes....so I now try View and Rebuild again no change..... my only solution seems to ...

I like the print capabilities of XnView.....but do not understand the Gamma setting....is 1.0 neutral or the same as the Browser View.....

It would be nice if a file... save as:..... would open and save to Current Directory.....

I seem to Copy Clipboard....then when saving I would like it to save to the currently open directory and not the previously saved directory....I seen to have to go looking for my missing file.....

Under ...

I see Automatic Levels (White Balance?) and Automatic Contrast as available commands.....I would like the addition of (1) Histogram Stretch and (2) Dynamic Range Extender or Shadow Recovery.....other optional commands such as Contrast Layer Overlay, Warming Filter, etc would be nice....

It would help to add to the Photo-Masks simple borders and with pixel/adjustable size option.......

Effects needs a little better noise removal with slider, perhaps separate ISO noise and Color noise......and the ability to stack effects without leaving the effects menu....Also a Clarify (often accomplished with large radius Unsharp Mask) would be a nice addition to Noise ....then Sharpening ...

An option for Grey-scale would to also havs a De-Saturation command.....although this could be accomplished in the adjust menu if saturation id added....or the Grey-Scale automatical saved or an option to save to RGB.....

The Adjust menu is great....I would like, in the main section, Brightness, Gamma, Contrast to add the Saturation from the optional menu, as these are the 4 most common settings used, then the addition of reset or better yet View Original....finally an ability to adjust "Highlights-Mid-Shadows" all ...

I really like using XN for simple editing and for its support for plugins - 80 percent of my work can now be done in XN....some areas could better support the editing..

Cropping.....The Grid Settings could be improved by supporting percentage.....even better add Thirds, Golden Ratio and Diagonals ...
