XnView Software

MPlayer's decoding of h.264 is faster in recent builds.

I prefer slower decoding without "illegal instruction" usage ...

:bug:

There are some palette related bugs in 1.90 beta 2, partially already in
1.82.4:

- "Edit colormap" is "grey'ed out" in some cases when it shouldn't be, re-converting image to a palettized model workarounds it :bug:

- "Autocrop" and "Canvas size" do not work correctly for palettized
images ...

trying to create a thumbnail in ver 1.61

Anything prevents you from using 1.82.4 ?

"Image" -> "Resize" for 1.82.4, no idea about 1.61.

how do you shrink the file size of a picture?

Use PNGOUT (for PNG images only). It reduces file size by factor up to
cca 1.3 against a PNG saved by XNVIEW. Accepts PNG, GIF, PCX or BMP as
input.

Also, reduce number of colours before compressing (this is a lossy act): start
with 256 and try even ...

Not hidden folders??

I also know this bug :bug:, just can't confirm that XNVIEW is ALSO affected.

Nevertheless: XNVIEW should take and show ALL files and ALL directories, and
NOT skip the "hidden" ones, and even less give up when first "hidden"
item is reached in the directory.

Idea:

Place info about the file into the bar as done, but remove it as soon as
an edit on the file occurs. In this case, such "info" is NOT useful, even more
it is confusing. In shot above, the file size (red arrow) still refers to the
original ...

Ok, i'll update nconvert soon...

And the DOS version ... using OPENWATCOM 1.3 compiler (1.4 and 1.5 seem
to be unfortunately broken on DOS target) and DOS/32A extender.

Thanks.

Anyone knows a good and free video-editing software?

Windows Movie Maker

I can't consider this one as "free"

The best program was Uwe Herklotz UHIC.

Unfortunately, this "UHIC" does not even have an official download page.

What this long trolling discussion shows is that you should not create a JPG,
drop the original BMP and publish the JPG, then uncompress this back
to a BMP, publish this BMP and ...

The newest Alpha shows the coordinates in the info line. :)

Would it be possible to place the COLOUR info also there ?

For truecolour images the RGB value (HEX occupies only 6 characters),
for palettized images the palette index.

The flag ...

Bug no longer occurs. Did you fix it in the Alpha 2 or 3 version ?
But I am on a different PC now.

I have the same problem. Ctl-O doesn't work.


CTL-O does not work only or all other methods I mentioned also ?


I am using Win98SE (which I don't think is relevant).


It probably IS relevant ... since I have same bug on same :bug:

I updated to the new Alpha ... bug ...

Great job on the archive support

Does XNview have it ??? :?:

support for making archives from within xnview

XNview an archiver ? :mrgreen:

(don't think it's necessary to have it support tons of compression formats, maybe rar

RAR creation is NOT possible for license reasons. :bug:

zip ...

EDIT (after >2 years) : deleted very obsolete stuff, see newer and more informative post below

Do you think that it will be good to have that??


(video convert)

NO. One would have to include all the codecs into XNView, and this would
increase the complexity and size (and number of bugs :bug:) of
XNView by factor 10. The well-designed well-working program
of reasonable download size ...
