XnView Software

Thank you for your problem report and sample EXR files. I've downloaded the two ZIP archives, upacked them, and then tried to reproduce the problem. Viewing the files in XnView is comparatively slow but there was no crash. I even duplicated the three files several times and then tried, again, but ...

Contents and style (color, font, opacity, ...) of image information can be configured in Tools > Settings | View | Info. Click on "MS Shell Dlg 2" button to select a font and font size.

It's the first setting I change. PDF files are unusable at 72 dpi. Thank you for confirming that there's an issue.

The problem is.... generating the thumbnails becomes quite slow in folders with several pdf files (talking about image and vector single page files). I've got it set to 150, which is ...

...Thank you for that tip. I just now tried it using Cmd + T and that worked. Good to read that Ctrl + T works on your M1 Mac, too.

Unfortunately, while in image view I do not see any indication that I have created a tag. When I go back to the browser though I see the tag checkmark. With "View ...

Right. But why is "Default layout" not in View > Layout? And why not just add it?

Yes, Pierrre, we know about this and this has been discussed in this topic, already. At best, making a selection beforehand is a workaround but it's not really a good solution - reasons can be found in cdays post and above posts.

You can change the font used for thumbnails in "Tools -> Settings | Browser > Thumbnail | Appearance". Please click on "MS Shell Dlg2" button to see a font dialog and choose the desired font.

Hmm, in XnView MP on Windows, keyboard shortcut is Ctrl + T for tagging/untagging. One can see the tagging status in the info ("i" for showing/hiding info). I've no idea whether Ctrl + T also works on an M1 Mac.

BTW: In image view mode I can't find a menu item for tagging/untagging - is there any?

Tools -> Settings -> Browser -> Catalog -> Enable Catalog + Enable thumbnail caching + set Width, Height

Good that you've found the appropriate setting and could solve your problem yourself, FrostWolf.

For "Auto image size" (correct: Auto zoom") there is a temporary setting and a permanent setting. Temporary setting is set in Image mode > View > Auto image size". The permanent setting is set in "Tools > Settings | View > View". By default, permanent setting is set to "Last used" which makes ...

... That would make life easier, but implementation of the Photoshop and Paintshop Pro possibility to drag and drop a selection after a paste would still seem to be a useful addition to the XnView MP interface.
Yes, this would be a very good and important enhancement for both XnView MP and XnView ...

Good to read that the hints were of some use. Thank you for your feedback, Ian.

... XnView MP also has that, I believe, although I have never used it. Helmut?
There's always "Open with... > " for opening with associated program (F3 key) or associated editor (F4 key). And in addition you can ...

Thank you for your registering here in the XnView forum and your request, Ian.

Unfortunately, there is currently no way to paste clipboard contents into an image and then move the pasted area to a desired position. Though supporting such a natural workflow would be a very good and helpful ...

Welcome to the XnView forum, Jan, and thank you for your problem report.

I've just tried out the creation of the contact sheet and expected that settings were lost after creation. To my surprise, all settings are were saved and restored properly. After trying more I can confirm that there are two ...

I can confirm you observation, corr, and I'd consider this a bug. In detail view all highlighting and selecting is supposed to be applied on complete row and not individual columns of a row.

BTW: In XnView Classic this works fine.
