XnView Software

I know this is looking a gift horse in the mouth, and it's great to see bpg support in xnview (Thanks!!!) ...

... but: On opening each .bpg file that isn't in xnview's cache, there's a quick console flicker of the bpgdec.exe program, i.e. the window pops up in front of xnview and then closes ...

Isn't the bottom line that scanner manufacturers rarely provide a 64-bit Data Source .ds , so it isn't normally possible to scan from 64-bit software such as XnView MP 64-bit using a TWAIN interface... The practical solution on 64-bit Windows is to use a 32-bit software application such as XnView ...

... us added to 0.82, but doesn't work (for me): http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.p ... 11#p134611

Using 0.82 final on Win x64, this doesn't work for me:

I can set "Auto Image Size: Fit Image to Window" in Settings alright, but it's ignored and images opened through the Browser of command line always come up with "Auto Image Size -> No fit" ... the same behavior of 0.81 and before. How do you ...

Well, dropbox released their "save average of 22% on .jpeg with bit-exact correct result upon decoding"

Actually, it doesn't convert to 12bit because it doesn't even *open* it in 16bit :-p

Imho the one thing that XnViewMP should be *really* able to do is detect exact dupes on copy/move, the current behavior of letting the user click "skip" each time on 100% equal pictures is bordering on stupidity.
You can use 'Skip All' perhaps?? :)

Nope, not when the finenames are generic ...

Thanks for the information, I just wondering for quite some time where people got 0.76.1 :-p

The warning might not show if you've disabled it at some point in the past. On the settings->General page, try resetting all confirm prompts and see if that helps.

Thanks, will do.

Looking at ImageMagick q8 vs q16, adding 16bit results in a big speed loss - I don't know if it would be the same ...

Having said all that, because I have developed the habit of using the batch convert as my save-as I do not place this at a high priority. But having these slightly obscure workarounds is not good usability, especially for new users.

Thanks to everyone who mentioned this possibility, I'd never got ...

This is an existing request which Pierre has already added to his To-Do list...

Sorry, "csfe" (can't search for everything) :-o, I'll try to improve.

However, XnViewMP (0.72) does display a warning when the 16-bit TIF is opened, saying that it will be converted to 8-bit.

I'm in bad luck then, mine (0.75 Win64) doesn't at any time? My workflow: open 16bit tiff (either through the browser or command line), select "Save" or "Save As" ...*boom ...

Wupps, I actually did use "search before post" but I missed that - well, another reason to get that added :-p. It adds "yet another option" in the preferences, but adding a file path dialog should be very quick to implement.

While XnViewMP happily opens 16bit tiff files, when saving them it silently discards half of the data and saves as 8 bit. That's unfortunate, as esp. with a lossless format you're bound to assume that you can happily save w/o any loss of quality. Note that 16bit tiff is a very common format esp ...
