Another question on a new issue, a new thread please!

A possible alternative approach which might work, I'm not sure, would be to use the 'watermark' action to place the second image onto the first: the watermark function despite its name can be used to place an image up to the size of the background image onto it.

I updated my xnview after many years. now it insists on autoloading new files that show up in a directory and show those instead of the one I selected for viewing. I can't seem to find a way to turn that off. Is there are way?

Simple steps to reproduce, maybe using a minimal number of files in a ...

3. Other supported formats, possibly also selectable but probably not, as other regularly used formats can be added to the first list.

Providing a way to select the formats displayed below the dividing line might actually a good idea, provided that the default is to display all available formats ...

I'm pretty sure 98% of users never use anything apart from 'most used' formats,

...imo this list should be limited to 'most used' and if user need special, rarely used format - one should go to settings and enable it


In my opinion the list should be:

1. Most used formats first, those ...

Edit:

Default seems to be Custom (with no selection) rather than System ??

Which operating system are you using, and are other external drives recognised?

Is it possible to rename a PDF file based on its content?

I am sure that option isn't supported. The text in the PDF file would have to be searchable, would that always be the case? Or an OCR function would have to be included in XnView MP, which would probably be technically possible using an ...

In my German version, I find "Transformieren" > "Schieflage automatisch korrigieren". Switching the UI language to English, I could verify, that it is the same command. Hint: This is not a good translation. The German term translated back to English would mean something like "Correct slant (or ...

Interestingly, it also doesn't happen with XnView Linux (1.8.8) installed from Flatpak .


On checking, the Flatpak download at the moment is still 1.8.6... :wink:

As Pierre doesn't prepare that version, there is normally especially with the rate that new versions have been released recently at ...

An 'Auto deskew' action was fairly recently added to XnConvert, in the Actions > Transform drop down.

Not really the same as Auto Orientation, but useful for straightening images such as scans when conditions are favourable...

Are you able to post the same image saved as JPEG and WebP for detailed examination?
