XnView Software

In my experience, the x64 version will just keep allocating... and allocating... far beyond the memory actually in the system, until it hits the limit of the page file. While it's swapping like crazy, it can take 15-20 minutes to get task manager open and actually kill the app. But, on the bright ...

Oh, thanks, sorry about that. Somehow missed that, selective blindness.

A big feature request for the future: With screens getting wider and shorter, it might be a good time to get rid of that title bar, like a number of other apps are. It's surprisingly easy in QT , but then you have to add your ...

It's done that in regular XnView forever, if that wasn't the case in older MP then it was an inconsistency that was corrected. Having two separate sort orders would be a feature request since it needs UI to handle it.

Since I've been using MP for a few days now, I've noticed some more issues. Some of these are Windows specific:

* F2 doesn't rename a file, in fact, there is no shortcut for rename.
* In fact, each platform should probably have its own set of shortcut keys, since a few others are missing; Gnome ...

XnView already supports WebP. This is just a library update.

A few wishes, after testing 0.51:
Importing categories, ratings, etc from the old XnView would be awesome. Even if I have to export manually and reload into the new one, I don't care; I know my way around sqlite and can do that if it's supported, but I don't want to break anything. Having a way to ...

Two crashes, both in settings:

* Switching from .ini User (System) to Windows Registry is a guaranteed crash as soon as you hit OK.
* In Thumbnail/Appearance tab, clicking up or down on the border setting is an instant crash.

One more, unreproducible: I've had a couple of crashed with JPEG XR ...

hello Pierre

i have the same problem.
When i open a folder where PDF documents are located, XNView hangs (NO RESPONDING).
WINXP SP3 with Acrobat Reader 10.0 x, as default PDF reader, and PDFCreator 1.1.0 and PDF XChangeReader (without shell extention installed) on the system as well. No ...

It seems like TIF files are no longer properly displayed in the browser. I seem to remember that they were working in 1.97.5 or .6. I've tested both 1.97.7 and 1.97.8 and neither shows any of my TIF files in the browser, unless I use "All" filter, in which case no thumbnail is shown, just the ...

What about \\localhost\Share?

Check your Network folder. Sometimes shares and printers from long-gone PCs are stored there and some programs pick them up. I haven't seen it happen on 7 yet, just XP, but it's a possibility. If I click on the Network in the folder pane when I open XnView, I get the long hang too.

Terribly confused, I'm trying to write support for a new format with the Plugin SDK but it isn't working at all. The Plugin SDK exports the following functions:

gfpGetPluginInfo
gfpLoadPictureInit
gfpLoadPictureGetInfo
gfpLoadPictureGetLine
gfpLoadPictureGetColormap
gfpLoadPictureExit ...

If you timed it, I bet most of your time would be wasted in the actual startup and shutdown of nconvert, not the internal manipulation. It's a pretty bulky program. You'd probably be better off hooking into gfl sdk as a dll/so so it only has to load up once, or using batch conversion to process the ...

The 2007 and up versions sometimes have embedded thumbnails easily accessible in the zip, mostly in powerpoints: <root>\docProps\thumbnail.jpeg. That might get you part of the way. The older versions also do, but you have to parse the binary IStream file format to get to them.

If you have them on EXACTLY the same network drives and paths on both PCs, it's really really simple: Just copy %appdata%\XnView\category.db to the second PC. Copy it back and forth when you update it, or get a syncronization program to do it for you. (%appdata% expands to C:\Users\<name>\AppData ...
