XnView Software

New versions - changelog:

NOT really new

2006.06b
- Bug (critical): NC-Modus only - after rename operation the item was selected, but the selection was not visible

Right, a bad bug

Nice, but far behind TotalCommander ... very limited archive
support ... and no support forum.

do you reproduce it always

NO. :-( As written before:

Unfortunately, can't provide a secure way how to reproduce this bug. :-(

1 time and after reboot never again.

When investigating, other bug occured: image disappeared after
rotating. "undo" brought it back. Saved as PNG, rebooted ...

How to convert images ?

XNVIEW or NCONVERT . . .

How to convert movies ?

FFMPEG2THEORA: http://www.v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/

Very easy to use, converts almost anything into OGG Theora

Rotate in view mode??

YES. "Image" -> "Rotate"

how can I replace black colour by magenta for example?

"Edit colormap".

Hint: convert to 256 colors first

-text_font arial -text_pos 0 0 -text "a text"

-text_font arial -text_pos 100 100 -text "a text" -out png x.bmp

Thanks, but this example does NOT work. :bug:

The "-text_font" breaks the thing and I get 6 errors about file not found,
affectig files "100" "100" "-text" "a text" "-out" "png ...

This one can be very basic and minimal, something like in the very old paint program

Agree. A minimal painting feature ( NOT a clone of Adobe Photoshit)
would be nice. I would no longer need to use the buggy PAINT and move
the images between it and XN.

Also, Copy&Paste should allow to place the ...

I tried to add text into images with NC and there seem to be problems.
Probably I am doing something wrong but maybe there are also bugs. :bug:

"-text string" "-addtext"

"text" or "addtext" ??? XNview generates "addtext" and NC does NOT
recognize it.

The text itself must be quoted ?

How to set ...

Another solution:

Bad luck: I got the forum in Spanish again today:

related to my bug report:
