XnView Software

Note also that I would like to change the wording:

13 object(s) / 1 object(s) selected

to:

13 total / 1 selected

because it's neater

I've made an image to illustrate the difference:

For a long time, I have really wished the Status Bar would include the file date . I constantly need to see the date of files, and the only way to do it currently is to right-click on thumbnails and bring up Properties, which is slow and irritating.

Further, I also wish you could customize the ...

Hi Pierre, I've just noticed that you made this change! Thank you!

Forgive me, but I can't find the 'cmd_useSmooth' button. I click "Customize Toolbar" but it's not in the list.

Also, would there be any way to assign a keyboard shortcut to it, so I can do it in Full Screen mode?

I've just updated Windows recently, a small update, probably rebooted several times, and now after a couple of days PDF thumbnails are back...

For the record I use Windows 7 x64. I permanently disabled Windows updates back in 2016 when Microsoft started sending telemetry and installing malware ...

OK, I found it now. I've enabled that option but it didn't work, thanks anyway.

Hmmm. I can't find that option. There is no "Format settings" in the File menu.

I can find:
Tools > Settings > Formats > Read tab > PS/PDF

But the only options there are Resolution, Page ...

No, I can't view or preview PDFs in any way in XnView.

I will get in touch with Ghostscript and see if they can help. Their documentation is way too long and complicated to read, so I'll ask them!

Yes, this was already enabled!

Yes, I've installed GhostScript 9.53.3 x64bits, but XnView still looks like this:



Do you have to do anything with GhostScript? I only installed it, I haven't changed any settings.

Oh, I had no idea it was possible to see thumbnails of PDFs! That's great!

But I'm in the same position as the other guy here. I've installed Ghostscript (64bit) and can't see PDF thumbnails in Xnview. What do I need to do?

I know XnView doesn't open PDFs, but it would still be really useful if it was possible to show a thumbnail of page 1 of each PDF in the browser!

Just to clarify...

If I enable or disable "Show Pan Tool" in the settings, it does NOT take immediate effect. But it always takes effect after restarting Xn.

I suppose it would be ideal if it could take immediate effect, but not important.

By the way, if you enable "Lock Zoom" twice in a row, it still won't work.

To make it work, you need to do "Lock Zoom" - then do some zooming - and then do "Lock Zoom" again.

Sorry Pierre, you're right, disabling the pan tool DOES work. However, it doesn't take effect until AFTER the program has been closed and re-opened. Perhaps this could be improved?
