XnView Software

XnView versions 1.96.4 & 1.95.5 has been tested

1. Open any single image file via file association.
TaskInfo process monitor reports that there is a containing directory opened by XnView for some purpose.

2. Pressing Enter key ...

Looks like a common moire pattern which is typical for most polygraphic imprints. HP's software could have some embedded functions for automatic image enhancement (e.g. descreen).

for example:

works fine with ACDSee 10

XnView 1.96.2
Options: General -> "Only one instance" enabled, View -> "Only one window view opened" disabled

Unconfirmed. XnView opens all selected files in separate tabs (or separate processes if "one instance" option is disabled). No any messages appears.

I have 2 directories with identically named files. I'm selecting all/some files in one of them, pressing Ctrl+C, going to another directory, pressing Ctrl+V. XnView doesn't ask anything (about existing files and their replacement) and copies new files with "copy" filename suffix added.

It takes 3x times longer to do batch scanning this way.

I agree too.
