XnView Software

Apologies to all for the protracted lack of response.
Last week a whole load of "end of UK tax year" tasks took over - then just as they were near completion on Friday, my PC RAID system started going down (which eventually turned out to be down to a dodgy SATA connection).
Despite having system ...

Here's how I usually go about in cases like this:

Download XnView-win-small.zip (v2.20) and extract it to an FAT32-formatted USB flash drive.
Note: This should rule out any problems with NTFS permissions.
Create a text file named xnview.ini in the same directory as xnview.exe v2.20 with the ...

My (beer) gut feeling tells me that an incomplete un -installation prevented a successful re -installation of the driver.

Thanks for the helpful response, XnTriq. It's taken me a while, but here's the answers:
Where on you local drives or NAS are the following files located:

Are you able to acquire into other applications from the Epson 1670 via TWAIN, windbag?

No. It's stopped working in Corel, too. I have X3, and scan has stopped working in Photo Paint & Draw, with the message:
"No Twain driver matching the application capabilities could be found" (I've Googled the ...

You could check that your Windows folder contains a folder called twain_32 -- on my Windows 7 computer I have that folder, and software for my Epson scanner is contained in a folder named escndv in it.
It does, and it did before.

Is you 'data' drive a partition on your main hard drive, a ...

Just to be sure, I went back into device manager, uninstalled the scanner, plugged it back in to force Windows to reinstall, went through the dialogue to reinstall & ran the software I used to get it working at the last rebuild (which worked for years).

No change. Still not appearing in the File ...

As I said:
I have tried reinstalling it from scratch (yes, including the driver).
And it is working, in that I can do a scan via the Epson scan utility - it's just a rubbish interface.

I have on oldish scanner (Epson 1670), but it has been working on my (oldish) Vista 32bit desktop for the past 6 years.
I only do scans once in a while (last successful one was about a month ago).
Suddenly, it has stopped responding to the "Scan" button in XnView.
It DOES appear in Windows devices ...

When I was using XnV yesterday, it also occurred to me that it would really help if any directory in a listing could have the "size" field filled with the appropriate figure, ie here;

Yes, like that - if that does the same even if the directory view is just another set of directories (you show actual pictures).
But your not suggesting I use another viewer, are you ?

One of my uses for XnView is when I'm juggling my photos/videos I've recently taken into 4.7Gb sized chunks to write to DVD for archive.
Partly because I can see what I'm grouping together well, partly because XnView is far more robust than Windoze(Vista) Explorer to renaming the directories.
