XnView Software

is it possible to have your xnview.ini?
Here you go, I hope you can reproduce it... thanks for looking into it. you have enable 'lock zoom'
Thanks, that's it - it's rather hard to spot that it's enabled, at least with my current color scheme.[/quote]

Alas, no, that on its own wasn't "it" - but ...

Auto Image size setting (in my case "Fit Window size - all pictures") is not saved but only applies when I use it with hotkey.
For me, the auto image size option is always automatically reverted to "Fit Window Size - only large pictures)
The problem then is, that all smaller pics are displayed ...

What do you mean with "always a running process"? If it's stuck after close (i.e. XnViewMP window is gone), then yes, it's always running at 25% cpu load (4-core system). i means without 'read ahead'?

Nope, it seems without read ahead xnviewmp closes just fine. Alas, I didn't try it a 1000 times ...

This format has great potential, afaik it beats every other format in every aspect.

Not quite, the author himself states that other formats are better for lossy photo compression than lossy flif. The advantage of flif ist great 100% lossless mode, no generation loss when lossy, and it doesn't ...

do you use 'read ahead'?
Yes, absolutely. I can try to disable it and see if it still hangs though, even if's tricky to tell as it occurs only so often.

not sure if it was worth the effort though. :? i guess no.

It's definitely worth the effort if you share the binary with us :-) - thanks! ...

... and attach the patch from the vanilla bpg source to your version which accepts updates x265/jctvc. You could put a pull request on the bpg site, but I ...

do you use 'read ahead'?

Yes, absolutely. I can try to disable it and see if it still hangs though, even if's tricky to tell as it occurs only so often.

Btw: Don't let me detain you from expanding this like "Read _ images ahead" - if there's enough memory, why not read ahead more like ...

Thanks again, after it compiled so sweetly I didn't bother to try all bitdepths.

Am I supposed to be downloading some sort of plugin or addon in order to utilize this feature and to enable thumbnails for these file formats?

Unless you're desperate to use XnView for video, don't bother. There are much more advanced and free video players like PotPlayer out there - and ...

if i compile it with USE_JCTVC disabled, the filesize is smaller, as expected. so JCTVC clearly gets linked in, but still bpgenc.exe refuses to use it.
or am i missing something here?

When I compiled bpgenc I discovered that even complete out-of-the-box compilation is broken for jctvc, it throws ...

so only in viewer mode?

I guess so since I'm using viewer mode most of the time, but I cannot completely exclude the possibility that is has never been stuck from browser mode, ever :-\ ... I'm so used to kill it from task manager by now I really don't memorize what the last mode was before ...

always? All thumbnails are built?

It happens maybe in 10'% of cases, and thumbnails don't seem to have anything to do with it - I open a file from the command line or explorer (i.e. single image mode), sometimes browse other files in the same folder with back/forward, and then close xnview. One ...

i'm not gonna bother with encoding (too many dependencies), but here's a x64 bit version of bpgdec.exe 0.9.7 with subsystem changed.

Thanks!

i doubt some format will take jpg's place the next years. they have only better quality by a very small margin, but are all a lot slower.

With medium ...

btw, there are newer versions available. http://bellard.org/bpg/

Decoding didn't change in the last releases (according to the changelog), only metadata handling which is semi-broken anyway.

For an update: the binaries from the author are mingw64-based - it would be nice to have the much ...

I know this isn't exactly the most helpful bug report, but it happens rather often and is annoying:

After closing XnViewMP (I'm currently running x64), the task is still active even though the window is gone. The task keeps consuming the same amount of cpu power (25% on my 4-core system), i.e ...
