XnView Software

hmm. just installed the dmg and it crashes when i try to open after the install.
this is on a:

mac pro 1,1
osx 10.6.8 32bit

does 0.60 require something newer?

<edit>
just noticed that the download seems to be 64 bit only. will this change or am i stuck? i have four macs here, all 32 bit and mp ...

just looking into setting up a digital asset management system for a large collection of scanned stills. have used xnview and nconvert for simpler things like batch conversions and such. i love the cross-platform nature of xnview in its various flavors and am curious as to how usable it might be as ...

hey! that worked! thanks.

thanks, oops. i'll try those. might be a couple of days before i get the chance. kind of swamped right now.

thanks again,
BabaG

thanks, oops66.

tried terminal command but got:

No command 'xnview' found, did you mean:
Command 'vnview' from package 'via-bin' (universe)
Command 'xview' from package 'xloadimage' (universe)
Command 'nview' from package 'nvi' (universe)
Command 'nnview' from package 'nn' (universe ...

so i installed the .deb package in ubuntu 12. progress barrs indicated things were installing and i
got a message that it finished. ok. so how do i run the program? it's not in any of my launch menus
and no desktop link appeared. can't seem to find it anywhere.

thanks,
BabaG

last version i could get to run was v39. since then i just get a crash and system error
before i even get to the program. error just says the application quit unexpectedly
and do i want to ignore, report it to apple, or relaunch. relaunching just repeats the
same process.

BabaG

this could turn into a major problem for me. any chance
it might be implemented? frankly, xnview/nconvert support
so many formats, i'm surprised this is not available.

thanks,
BabaG

is there any info anywhere on debayering using nconvert or xnview? can they do this?

thanks,
BabaG

thanks, marsh.

got it working. don't know if it's in the right place but i did get it working. eequired a
change of permissions:

chmod -R 755 /usr/bin/nconvert

BabaG

i can't find anything on how to install nconvert on my ubuntu laptop. i've extracted the
file i downloaded and see what appears to be an executable but no info on how to or
where to place this file on ubuntu. can someone guide me through this? where do i cp
this file to? do i need to do anything ...

thanks pierre! great news.

BabaG

thanks pierre.

i don't actually have the astrophotography app yet. i'm just in the process
of investigating cameras and their accompanying capture apps. for that
reason, i have no fits files yet that might display in xnview. because i love
xnview/nconvert, i wanted to find out if the fits format ...

i may be using an astrophotography app that saves ccd images in .fits format.
is that something xnview/nconvert can deal with? i see fit as a supported
format but not fits.

thanks,
BabaG
