XnView Software

Suggestion: "Slice"

Before executing this operation, the user creates a selection area that goes from one edge (horizontal or vertical) to the opposite edge. When the user clicks on "slice," what happens is:

a. the selected area is deleted

b. the remaining areas are moved "together"

c. the image ...

I would like to also request some means to (a) save more than one custom ratio, and (b) save them between sessions. I frequently need to take images of all different sizes and crop them to a specific ratio for, for example, printing on a greeting card. I have several sizes of card, and it would be ...

I know that the forums are mostly to discuss problems and complaints and bugs and features requests, but...

.... I just want to say how GREAT and EXCELLENT and OUTSTANDING XnView's scanning interface is. I've used many different imaging programs for scanning over the years, most recently Picasa and ...

Hi Marsh--I'm sure you're right, but how do you know this? Is there something on the screen that says "embedded?" And in any case, what are embedded thumbnails?

Although I made sure that the embedded option was OFF for both XnView/Win and XnView/MP, XnView apparently does not refresh automatically ...

Hi Helmut--

Thanks for the suggestion. I had already checked all the visual settings I can think of, including "sharpen."

Since you haven't heard of this problem before, it must be something about my particular situation. So please don't spend any more time worrying about it. But I will show you ...

Pierre, it seems I was mis-reading the results. I had very short movies without enough movement, so it looked like the frame did not change. But it did, and XnView works fine. Thank you!

I'm testing and playing with XnViewMP 0.26.1, and running it side by side with XnView 1.97.6 for Windows.

I'm sure somebody has commented on this already, but all of my thumbnails--at all sizes--are fuzzy and blurred.

Other than that, my first impressions of MP are quite favorable. Very nice job ...

I have never seen a discussion on the "big picture" for MP: what it is, why is it, how does it differ from XnView/Windows, etc. Is there such a discussion or introduction somewhere?

Thanks.

If there is NOT such a discussion/explanation, I think there should be one.

And a related question is ...

Hello Pierre--

Yes, the same thing happens on the four different movies that I have tried. They all originated at .MOV files from a iPhone, if that makes any difference. The movies are very short, 2 to 5 seconds, and the number of frames seems to be between 60 and 150.

Trying to convert my .MOV movies to images, I found by reading the forum that the movie must be in AVI format. So I got my movies into AVI format, and now can use the "Extract Movie Frames" option on the "Tools" menu. The AVI file plays just fine in XnView, and the convert screen shows how many ...

Hey John--

Thanks for the link. I squeaked in under the deadline and got a copy. Don't know if I'll like/use the program, but appreciate the link.

I say we go with "Mother Pucker."

It's so much richer and more evocotive than "multi-platform."

Thanks, XnTriq. But still not 100% clear. Let me ask the "horse's mouth:"

Pierre, is 1.97 the "end of the line" for XnView/Windows? All new development is going to MP?

I hope so, because it's going to be a lot of work--even more than usual--to keep working on the old model as well as working on ...

Thanks Thibaud and XnTriq for the links.

However, it's still not clear about the future of XnView. Two years from now is XnView for Windows going to exist? I can certainly understand Pierre consolidating source code; my company's product runs on different platforms but is all generated from a ...

Is there an announcement/description of XnViewMP somewhere? I must have missed it. But I would like to read about what the product is, why it's being developed, why I should use it rather than the Windows version, what benefits there are to the world/programmer/users, etc. I understand what it is ...
