Re: Unable to change DPI of JPG image

I then used save as to save the image again as a .jpg file.
If you ever do this, you are seriously affecting the image quality, because that means it decodes, transforms color twice, and then re-encodes similarly but differently. Unfortunately, MP doesn't give you the option. You need a GUI for ...

Re: Req: Add 16bit tiff writing (or at least a warning)

XnView doesn't have any 16-bit support at all, which is a bit of a bummer. It doesn't even seem to dither down, just chops the low bits off.

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 ...

JPEG XR export w/ transparency wildly oversized

I was testing converting a graphic to JPEG XR, and I just could not get it below a certain size, even at zero quality. I eventually figured it might be the transparency, but try as I might, I could not find any way to flatten the image with a white background (even when it looks like it's now white ...

Re: Supporting mozjpeg for saving JPEG files

Whoops, missed this. JPEG export and default saving should use mozjpeg, decoding could stick with libjpeg-turbo -- but I bet scaling takes 2-10x as long as decoding anyway. Either way, mozjpeg always saves higher quality than libjpeg and libjpeg-turbo; even if it's a little slower than turbo, I can ...

Re: Supporting mozjpeg for saving JPEG files

*poke*

Anything? It's a drop-in replacement for libjpeg-turbo, better quality, same license. This is a no-brainer for classic and MP alike.
do you know if mozjpeg use SSE3 like jpeg-turbo?
There is no simd minimum. It includes mmx, sse, sse2, altivec, etc, and will use whatever your processor ...

Re: File format settings

^ Do you mean that it isn't possible to add a "Settings" button in the save dialog? :?:
Why not? In the windows version it is done this way.
yes not possible, XnView classic use native API (Win32), instead of XnViewMP that uses Qt API
Wait, what? No. Qt has supported custom dialog boxes for years ...

Re: NAvigation using the mouse wheel

Speed of scrolling? XnView first generates a low resolution preview, then replaces it with a full resolution as soon as it's done rendering. You might be flipping through fast enough with the mouse wheel that you can see the preview before the full appears (which is the point, it beats waiting on a ...

Re: BPG Image format

For viewing in XnView there is a compiled susie plugin here: https://github.com/256bai/ifbpg
how is this supposed to work?
Download susie.zip and (the latest version of) ifBPG-*.zip .
Extract the contents of both archives to the Plugins subdirectory of your XnView installation.
Restart XnView ...

Re: Export Dialog - Remember last folder

So many years later, this is still the same? I absolutely hate having to navigate away from XnView's install folder every single time I export anything that I imported from the clipboard, to the point where I use it less often than I would like to. It seems to always default to the install folder ...

Re: 0.71 - Real Size zooming in 133% instead of 100%

The Ctrl-/ shortcut that used to mean 100% now goes to an entirely different function. 100% is still in the menu and toolbar, and you can reassign the shortcut back to it if you want.

Re: 0.71 WebP lossless still bugged

Are you sure the loss isn't introduced in converting from RGB to YUV and back? Some colors can be badly affected by that, especially in very light and dark regions. I don't think XnView uses RGB in WebP at all, so it's only lossless after the conversion to YUV.

Replace GIF/PNG color reduction with libimagequant

This is a suggestion for both XnView and XnViewMP. libimagequant is a BSD licensed library that is tremendously better than the basic Adaptive, Dithered, etc currently in XnView. Anyone who uses them has to admit, the current color reduction methods are holdovers from the 90's, and they aren't very ...

I've had occasional crashes with the similar files function on 0.51, but with 0.53 it seems to continually crash.
