XnView Software

Pierre is wonderful, and I know he will. But I won't die if it takes awhile to figure out.

I tried to compare them with AptDiff and get a messagebox-loop, "The parameter is incorrect" and it never lets up.
I selected borked.jpg in one file and good.jpg in the other box and chose "binary" for comparison.
It won't do it. I'm having a bad day at this.

So I am using jpegSnoop from your link (I always wanted one of these! thanks!)
I did find a difference between these two files.
The Marker: DHT section has some differences: the Offset is different, and the Huffman Table length is different.
In fact, all three sets of DHT values are different. I don ...

Try these two files.

Most of the time I don't have any problem running multiple instances of MP.
However, I do seem to have issues copying/moving files from one MP to another. I haven't tried to troubleshoot this, though.

Right now I'm stuck with files that won't display, and I have no idea why. I can see them with any ...

Here you can see an example of how the panel tabs disappear when you select a "broken" file.

Correct. I like to work with multiple instances of MP (sometimes 5 or 6) and have them open to different folders.
I wish MP could open multiple browser tabs...

Sorry, I AM using version .87, in fact.

Okay, I'm deleting all the cache. (Settings > Browser > Catalog > Delete all [button])

Okay, I deleted all the cache and the problem remains.

Here is another interesting thing:
I'm not exactly sure what order I did things here... I wasn't in "debug mind" at that time.
The first way went by copying from one MP to another MP, with renaming done in MP.
The second way went by copying and renaming the files outside MP.
screenshot_xnviewmp_036 ...

Another problem is this - I had a handful of image files and I renamed them in MP, but I guess MP had issues with one or two of them and didn't rename any of those files. I tried moving them between instances of MP and they dragged and dropped but didn't move.

And this morning, when I started MP it ...

I already emailed the ini file to Pierre using the email address in his forum profile.

Any clue for this? It is happening a lot.
I can view the file in any program except XnView MP.

Pierre,

Okay, I tried this. I copied those files to the root of another disk.
I still can't open them. MP does not show their XIF, preview, histogram or anything except file properties - the other side tabs are all missing.

Pierre, yes - one for browser and one for the mp4 file.

So the mp4 keeps playing in the tab until I "view" another file. If I double-click on a jpg then *that* opens in that second tab and the movie stops playing.

But if I don't open another file in view mode, then the mp4 is locked because MP ...

With my camera I take a lot of photos and an occasional movie (mp4).
Then I view them all the same in MP.
So I double click on the files to view them - images and movies alike.

I also don't use tabs - so I have the settings all set so there is only ever a single tab open and then I hide all tabs ...
