XnView Software

I tried to associate with Tools -> Options -> Browser -> File list and selected Open with XnView for the images category.
Did I do something wrong? Should file associations work, the same as in regular XnView do?

I have noticed that with latest 0.32, file associations are not working on any on my 2 Windows 7 x64 boxes.
I thought it were not implemented yet in MP, but seems that under XP x86 they work.
Will this be fixed in the regular Win32 build, or will we need to wait for the x64 native version?

That is fine Pierre.
Looking forward for the new build then.

Pretty good!
I was not aware of this additional enhancements in MP.

Pierre, I have seen 0.32 is available, but still no x64 Windows builds.
Any chances for testing them?

libjpeg-turbo (http://libjpeg-turbo.virtualgl.org/) is a replacement of the regular libjpeg that I guess is used on XnView, with several times faster processing speed.

I would like to see XnView updated with the turbo coder/decoder to improve runtime performance.

Great Pierre!
Looking forward for that x64 build then...

Hello Pierre,
Since some time ago in the development of MP, you stated about a future x64 native build for Windows (the same as exists for Linux).
Are you evaluating any ETA for it, so it can be tested too?

Thanks.

I altered this:
version="8.0.50727.42"
to read this:
version="8.0.50727.762"
and it allowed a launch in emulator. This was a blind edit.

Definitively marsh it has solved my issue on Windows 7 x64 and x86.
Thanks.

Meanwhile Pierre fixes the OpenMP deployment problem, I have uploaded to my personal site the propper OpenMP manifest file from Visaul C++ 2005 SP1, that works fine with the supplied DLL. You only need to download the file, replace your existing one, and it will work fine. Reach it at http://guti.bi...

That only applies to the C/C++ Runtime Library, and unfortunatelly is not valid to OpenMP (even in 9.0 it is not possible to statically link it to my knowledge), but at least would be a good choice for MSVCRT (I believe it will overall decrease the size of the distribution).

After some investigations it seems the problem is a mismatch between the OpenMP manifest, and the libray (vcomp.dll).
Also, why not compiling with VC++ 2008 instead of 2005 Pierre? Maybe a performance increase could be achieved by the upgrade.

Same problem here under Win 7 x64.

It looks quite good Pierre!
Can't wait for the next public alpha/beta...

Looks quite promising Piere.

Will that new codebase be compilable x64?

Will be the QT libraries statically linked? Also it would be great for the Visual C++ 2003 runtimes.
