XnView Software

Thank you, for your problem report, corr. I could reproduce the "problem" easily, but I guess this is rather a feature than a bug:
When selecting "Write" in the "Edit comment" dialog, your comment/description will be written to the image currently displayed. Then, you can navigate to the next image ...

Thank you for your reporting back, TrailQuest. I'm glad that my hints helped to solve your problem.

In combination with Ghostscript XnView is able to display Postscript and PDF files, see FAQ "How to display vector formats like PDF, AI,...? GhostScript!"

Currently (XnView MP 1.00), default resolution for Postscript and PDF files is 72 dpi. This is o.k. and fast but not very detailed.

Suggestion ...

Thank you for registering here and your suggestions for XnConvert, kaminajihat. My reply is very late but perhaps it's of use and you read it. And most of all Pierre, the author of XnView reads it. ;)

Currently, XnConvert writes status and results generated during conversion in some kind of log in ...

XnView MP offers a lot of configuration and settings. From what I can see, unexperienced users can ruin their configuration pretty easily and quickly. If possible, this should be avoided and if it does happen, users should have hints to get their configuration back on track. Below is a suggestion to ...

Thank you for your suggestion, MARK2580 . "Favorites" panel is for your favorite folders, only, not for individual images. If you want to set favorites for your images, you have to use categories. There are star ratings (1-5) and pre-defined categories. Either you can use one of these or you can ...

m.Th.: Thanks for the screenshot - a real camera shot of the screen. Sounds much very like the QT problem that XnTriq found.

Right, good to that you (m.Th.) are around, again. Haven't seen budz45, Drahken, ckv, oops66, and some more for a while...

The option "Show title of panels" is grayed out. I've just fiddled around a bit and found that when using pre-defined layouts (Layout 1..5, ...) "Show title of panels" is greyed out. Please try "View > Layout > Free"; then "Show title of panels" should be available.

I just switched computers. Using Win10Pro on both. On the previous one I was able to have Folders & Favorites as separate Panels. On the new PC install they are tabs which I can't seem to get to be Panels. What am I missing?
Please click on tab "Favorites" to bring the "Favorites" panel to front ...

I've just tried to reproduce the problem but Eyedropper works fine for me: X and Y position and colour value (decimal and hexadezimal) are displayed. What do you mean with "garbage"?

Note: Only irritating thing for me that I found is that 0,0 coordinate is top left of the picture and most top left ...

I can confirm this bug. :bug: For reproducing you have to open an image and then delete it using "Del" key. Image is deleted but tab remains opened although the image was deleted. When closing the image the thumbnail is still displayed which is also wrong. When pressing F5 for updating the thumbnail ...

Thank you for your pointing to the right setting, Franky. I wonder whether the two settings "Companian files linked for delete action" and "Companian files linked for copy/rename/move action" shouldn't be checked and thus active by default.

Ah, I see now that I completely misunderstood your request - sorry for that.

...When in Browser, seeing a folder with many subdirectories, is there a keystroke or command to use to expand the tree or shrink the tree?...
FAIK, when browsing a folder with many subdirectories in XnView, there is no ...

Thank you, michel038 and cday for solving Philrou's problem. Currently, XnView's configurability can be simultaneously a curse and a blessing - let's try and find ways to ensure that configurability is a blessing, only.

There is the menu "View > Panels > Show source panels" for displaying and hiding the panel including "Folder tree". By default, no short cut is assigned but you can add a short cut easily:
1. Tools > Settings | Interface | Shortcuts
2. In drop down list select "Browser mode" (should be selected by ...
