XnView Software

Thanks, XnTriq. I wasn't quite sure what your earlier message was suggesting, but it makes sense now.

Thank you, XnTriq, good reading.

However, we still don't have a solution, as far as I can tell.

It is possible to do a pretty good job of straightening an image--but it is slow, inefficient, and approximate. Better would be a one-click "straighten" function that finds an edge, automatically ...

Any time one scans pictures, a very big problem is alignment/rotation. It is very difficult to get the photos in the scanner to be perfectly aligned, therefore it is necessary to use XnView's "Rotate" capabilities to adjust the image by one or two degrees, or perhaps less. If one does a lot of ...

Marsh--

I unchecked caching, and now images are displayed at their proper size (in browser mode). However, when I turn caching back on, XnView apparently retrieves the cached material for other folders--those that I didn't view when caching was off--and displays those improperly-small images. I ...

Thank you, Marsh.

However, I changed the setting for "Use embedded thumbnail" and it doesn't make any difference.

I also read your request to delete/rename the xnview.ini file, so as to restore "factory" default settings. I did that too, and it also did not make any difference.

Thumbnails with ...

With a little more research, it appears that the problem is related only to the presence of EXIF data. If it is present, then the image displays at the reduced size; if it is not present, the image displays at normal size. The presence/absence of other metadata doesn't appear to make a difference.

I've seen a mention of this problem somewhere, but I can't find it now. Apologies is if this is a duplicate.

I'm running XnView 1.96.2 on Vista.

It appears that when a JPG image has any metadata, it displays much smaller than it should in browser mode.

You didn't say if you were using XP or Vista.

In Vista, XnView did exactly what it should: it tried to send the email message using the email program specified as the system default in Windows. I also use Thunderbird, but it was NOT set as the default mail program. So when I tried to send an image ...

Thanks, Marsh. I read that info about network folders, I don't think it applies here.

Also, I have more info.

The previous scenario did involve looking up a directory tree on a network computer.

However, I have now experience exactly--and I mean exactly--the same thing on a local computer, this ...

I am an enthusiastic user of XnView, have recommended it to many people, and expect to use it forever. However, I use it for what it is best at and made for, and not for what it was not made for.

I use Picasa for the things it is good at, and XnView for the things it is good at (most things).

My ...

This problem--if it is a problem, and not my mistake--has been around for quite a while, but I have had trouble proving it. But I think I've got it this time.

Xnview sometimes does not display a folder. It's just missing.

Please see this image: http://img26.imageshack.us/i/0pic.png/ (click on the ...

Hello to you too, Helmut!

I hope you noticed that my bug/problem/situation report began with a friendly--if humorous--hello to you.

I'm still making help files, and still interested in helping with XnView, and still don't know a way around the problems of (a) language, and (b) updating. Any new ...

Thanks for the quick reply, Pierre.

I think this is a case where one should not have to be an expert XnView user--and therefore know about things like "ignore read errors"--in order to open the image. In my opinion, it would be better to open the file when asked, and then display a message saying ...

Pierre--

I can't remember how to send you files, so here is a link:

Hello gentlemen,

(and also Helmut)

Today I received a picture from a friend, but what I tried to open it I got an error saying "<Big> Warning: Error reading the file <filename>".

This was in a standard Windows error dialog box.

Problem #1:

There should be something on the dialog box error ...
