XnView Software

No , as far as I know , reading the ARW type has always been very slow,
also the clarity is different (too light)
as compared with Photoshop CS2.

Here is a sample:

This option doesn't seem to work,
I even ain't sure whether the ARW file does contain a
JPG thumbnail file, anyway if it does it isn't likely to be
a high-res. JPG image which I was hoping to view,
so the problem still exists.
Maybe in you will find ...

You can use the embedded jpeg to speedup

Pierre,
I don't know what you mean with embedded JPEG,
is there a JPEG embedded in the raw Sony ARW file ,
and if so, how can I retreive this JPEG ?

regards,

René

Yes this has already been adressed by me some time ago,
see:

http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.p ... light=sony

I don't know if Pierre is working on a fix for this ??

René

And now the opposite:

if I have an image without an alpha-channel,
is there someway to add an alpha-channel to that image,
using XnView ??

I noticed a similar XnView crash on my freshly installed Vista system
when trying to "build IPTC from XMP" .
It turned out that I hadn't installed the complete XnView system
(including the XMP plugin's) .
After the full install XnView works as should.

However XnView should not crash when the ...

In XNVIEW one can set the step size of the zooming in fixed steps,
these steps are in a percentage of the 100% zoom size of the image.
E.g. a step-size of 20% means:
zoom-out: 100% > 80% > 60 % > 40 % > 20% ...

It would be nice if the zooming steps are relative to the size
of the last image size ...

Sorry for that,
it had to do something with my xnview.ini file,
I copied an older ini file into the 1.95 directory
and the problem is gone.

I am not sure about earlier 1.95 beta's,
but in the final 1.95 version I can't see
the tabs anymore when I load multiple images.
The tabs do work if you click on them, but you can't see
which of the tabs is selected.
This behaviour is found on a windows XP SP3 system.

Hey Jason ,

maybe your memory-card has been formatted into FAT16,
that way windows only knows how to read a max. of 512 images on its root-folder; if the filenames of the images are longer then 8.3 chars,
this max. number even gets smaller.
Your Canon software possibly bypasses this limitation ...

Hello Whickster,

what you want is already implemented:
use option edit/set selection ratio/
here you can choose between lots of standard ratio's
or even your own custum ratio.
However I don't know how to set this ratio as the
default value ??


René

I am afraid that your networkfiles are "completely" deleted,
the recycle bin will not be used, this is a windows issue, not so much an issue of XNVIEW.

see:

"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycle_Bin_(Windows)"

under "Known issues".



René

I can't confirm your crashes on this anim. gif,
but I didn't use your xnview.ini settings.
I tried xnview 194.2 and 195rc1 on a windowsXP system.
Have you tried to show this gif without the ini-file ??


Rene

Hey Cowboy ,

you'll get the xmp.dll when you install the XNView "complete version" including plugins and add-onns,, listed below the regular download section of XNVIEW


René

Many Thanks , or in Dutch: hartelijk bedankt !!
