XnView Software

In the latest version there is some issue with the font, because it shows spaces where it doesn't exist.
It's consistent, but I don't understand the reason.. it seems caused by some combinations?

For example:

base
ba se
evergarden
everg ard en
forgotten
forg otten
giovanna
giova nna
halloween ...

If I convert the JPG to PNG, the colors end up the same, instead.
There must be something different in the first PNG, despite Firefox displaying them identical.

EDIT:
I see that original has Adobe RGB , whilst the converted one has sRGB !
Maybe that's the reason, even if I dunno why I'm the only ...

I'm confused.. I tried creating BMP screenshots from XnviewMP of JPG+PNG files with & without ICC and they're all different :\
The 2 ICC colors are more similar between them, but in theory the default JPG color should the right one

Err.. nvm, I tried various things, like deleting the catalog and reinstalling the program and now the GIFs seem to work again.
Weird bug.
Thanks. Solved, I guess..

On my Win11 GIF animation files are OK.

Thanks for replying, guys.
I have an old Win7 (yeah..), but it should be supported.
GIFs worked before in XnViewMP and still do in Firefox.

Nobody? Please someone tell me at least if the example GIF still works for you in the program.

Perhaps go in XnViewMp folder and rename xnviewmp.ini to something else and then start program again with clean settings and see if still going to notice any differences.

Done, but I got the same result. So weird..
Maybe it could be because I'm using an old Windows 7, but in theory XnviewMp ...

Btw if it can be useful, my monitor is an AOC 24G2W1G4.
Color output RGB, depth 8bpc, range Full, SDR

@phaolo: Is the colour difference you are seeing present when the images you posted are viewed on the forum?

When images are uploaded some metadata may possibly be lost, I'm afraid I can't elaborate, does anyone know?

If you don't see the difference, attaching the original files in a ZIP or ...

Here are two example files.
For me their colors look different in XnviewMp, without the monitor ICC

Hello, I've upgraded XnViewMP from v1.5.0 to v1.5.3 and I suddenly have a problem with GIF animations.

I can't reproduce it consistently, but they tend to not play anymore most of the times (I just see an empty space even if the frames are advancing). :?
If I'll find more info I'll let you know ...

Interesting thread, even if I get a different result.
PNG colors become dull (in a wrong way) for me if I don't use my monitor's ICC profile (in system).


(I wonder if it changes automatically if I move Xnview's windows to a secondary display)

I resize or move XnviewMp's window a lot (e.g: to other screens, also vertical).
The problem is that the program doesn't keep the ratio of the panels in the browsing view.
So, panels on the right become too small or too large every time, and I have to resize the left ones (until the next move).
For ...

Ah nope, that fixed it. Thanks
(I'm not sure why it was disabled tho)

I created a test pic, a simple black circle over a transparent background, and the result is already a mess.

(btw, my first test with a rectangle was actually fine)
