XnView Software

Hi OmniPlex,

As you can read in my previous post http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.p ... 71#p129788, I already did this. it still doesn't work.

Because there hasn't been any reaction/fix I switched to Faststone Image Viewer. http://faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm

I do 'Open with' XnView on an archive in Windows Explorer.

Update:
I installed Windows 10 x64 and installed XnView v2.35. Again archives fail :evil: :evil: :evil:

This time it has to do with the setting 'Browser/FilterBy'

Here are both ini files:
XnView settings files (good and bad).7z

My original (which fails):
[Browser]
FilterBy=0

To fix it ...

I found the problem. When I replaced my xnview.ini with the default installed xnview.ini it worked.
I then systematically found which setting(s) caused XnView to crash.

This is what is installed by XnView.ini by default:
[Start]
Filter0=639
Filter1=895
Filter2=589
Filter3=287

This is what I had ...

Same result:

I installed v2.32 over my XnView install, but it does NOT change the 7z.dll.

Could you please attach the correct dll?

Edit:
Ok, found an old 7z.dll (I installed XnView in a new directory).

It's still not working. I now see the files in the 7z archive, but XnView crashes when I try to show a ...

In my post I have my XnView install dir. You can download that to compare to your directory.

Actually, now it's worse. Previously I could open the archive and view the thumbnails, but not actually open the files.
Now, when I try to open a 7z file, nothing happens at all. :evil:

I attached a test archive.

Also, here is my XnView install directory. Maybe you can see something wrong with it ...

7-zip.

This has still not been fixed in v2.31.

Is there any news on this bug? Is it so much harder to fix than expected?

Great! Can you tell us what went wrong?

Edit:
Still not working in v2.25

I don't have Rar, I use 7z. The Rar files were from my work with classified design images, so I can't give them to you.
Do the 7z archives work for you?

Sure, I attached an example. Every archive fails for me. (the pics are really small because attachment have a ridiculous 1MB limit).

PS
I added my ini file too.

I have this in the AddOn directory:

7z.dll 57,344 bytes 2006-08-10 18:05:10 MD5:9a46cb71cd1198600aab5a3112841349

I don't know. I never tried. I used to always unpack archives and then view them (with FSViewer). But, that viewer doesn't support archives so I came to XnView.
That's when I discovered it didn't work.

Do you want me to try older versions? Where can I find older versions?
