XnView Software

for previews/view mode just hit ctrl+h (or "view" > "use alpha channel") ctrl+M (or "view" > "show alpha") is quite handy too... now that's actually feature richer than Bridge isn't it ? As for the gamma issue, maybe it has to do with the color profile used here "sRGB IEC61966-2.1 ( linear )" ? for ...

At the very least, You need to provide: installed XnViewMP version ! (win?, linux?, OSX?, 32 or 64bit?) your Operating system (windows 7 ultimate x64?, OSX 10.7.3? , Ubuntu 11.10 32bit?, ... ) Additionally you may also want to provide and check some specific installation details that may influence x...

if on a hurry, you may want to give Mysticthumbs a try.
(from my experience: awesome utility with extensive file type compatibility & top notch support)

Most likely you swapped the results from PngOptimizer and PNGOut ;-) I didn't swap any results! please note that my test was run not with one particular BMP but with 55 png (a good number of them had transparency). also, you don't seem to provide processing time, which I believe is quite relevant t...

When xnviewMP 0.38.7 encounters these files, it crashes with Unhandled exception at 0x670015d3 in xnview.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x39e63b62. Confirmed. files details: Image ------ resolution: 128x128 type: 128 Bits (RGBA) channels Available: (RGBA) Half Float (16 bits/Cha...

the issue always occur when navigating "too" quickly. (seems to occur more specifically when going "next/prev" while the current image is still being decoded (displayed as low-res) 2 test case (win7 x64): case 1 : 1 folder of 400 jpg+CR2 (5200 x 3400) case 2 : 1 folder of +/- 1000 average res .jpg w...

nope there definitively is a bug in there, it actually happens all the time when navigating a high-res picture folder.
MP is unusable for me like this.
let me know how I can help in solving this issue.

alternative:
1. Install xnviewMP
2. discover that .exr , .hdr and .rpf among many others are supported natively and works perfectly fine.

Actually now that I re-think of it... When referring to the space surrounding the image thumbnail itself, " Padding " should be renamed to " Margin " if moved into the "Thumbnail" group like I suggested. (for the sake of symmetry you could even rename it to " Spacing " to match the "Thumbnail cell" ...

Another Setting screen that is currently wrong:

I was just speculating on the occurrence of the buggy behavior.
the issue is: the viewer get stuck in low-res (scaled up) preview. (happens only on large file)

I just wanted to make sure I'm not the only one with this issue.
I don't have a step by step to reproduce but it happens about 50% of the time.
F12 > make any changes > click OK > xnview crashes after a short delay.

first thing I noticed with 0.38 (not sure about 0.35 since I haven't tested it much). on large files (4000px wide jpeg) the viewer often get stuck in low-res preview. happens when navigating quickly (prev/next) a folder containing several consecutive large file. idea: going to prev file on a file th...

Ken Silverman's PNGOut or Cosmin Truta's OptiPNG are better in my humble opinion. I didn't try the command-line version, but the GUI one is really awful. I have to disagree, here is a short comparaison I did (win 7 x64|i7 980x|24GB RAM) A.PRICE: PngOptimizer: Open source (GNU) PNGOut: 15$ to 30$ Op...

just a quick one which really annoyed me(there's a lot of room for improvement in there)
