XnView Software

Anyone able to reproduce? This is more evident if you are using a large image (10+ megapixel) because it takes longer to save. Basically, as soon as you click Yes to overwrite current image, press Enter to switch to Browser mode. Check the saved image, it will be corrupted.

Yes, I can press Enter while XnView is still saving the image. It does not allow me to press "Page Down" though, until the image is done saving.

I don't think this matters, but I did change my xnview.ini to ShowSaveDlg=130. The reason I don't think it matters is even if I change back to ShowSaveDlg ...

I found a reproducible bug. It seems that if you switch to Browser mode while saving an image, it corrupts the image. I did not notice this issue before, but now that I am using an SLR camera with larger image size, maybe saving is taking longer, so this issue is more noticeable. I think XnView ...

I switched back to Windows XP 96 DPI, and still saw the same issue. Then I fiddled around with the graphic card settings some more, and it worked fine. Then I switched to Windows XP 120 DPI, and it still worked fine. So I guess this isn't a bug! Maybe a buggy graphic card, I'm not even sure which ...

I got a new monitor and changed some of my display settings, and now Show Information is displaying buggy (see screenshot http://imgur.com/J3B7u.png ). Here's my configuration:

xnview 1.96
XP SP3
windows XP DPI Setting: 120
primary monitor: 1280x1024
secondary monitor: 1650x1050

The weird thing is ...

@bucky
exactly. thank you for the explanation: that makes it more clear.
but why are the normal and the lossless mode working different / are not both working on the basis of an 8x8 block?

I believe that when doing normal/lossy rotation, the entire image is being rotated as one, then resampled ...

@bucky
i can understand that image blocks consist of 8x8 pixels.
but that does not answer why the different rotations in my example produce different pictures.

Here's the explanation of each one:
10x30 image
1. browser click lossless rotation -> performs lossless rotation -> result cropped
2 ...

In Browser, regardless of "use lossless rotation when possible (jpeg)" option, when I click the "Rotate clockwise" toolbar button, nothing happens, image is not rotated, preview just blinks.

That's not what happens for me. When I click "Rotate clockwise" button in browser, the image does lossless ...

why is the above described cut off happening?
what is so special about the 8 pixel multiple?
does it occur for both dimensions?
why are the rotation modes working different?


I believe JPEG is encoded in 8x8 blocks, so if the image is not a multiple of 8 pixels in either dimension, then it will ...

I like to Show Information for all EXIF metadata, but I am running up against the length of the Show Information field. Could you make it longer (maybe 5x)?

Make: <Make>
Model: <Model>
Artist: <Artist>

That would be nice. Currently, I add the EXIF value that I want to the Show Information.

Is there a way to display EXIF maker notes in the Fullscreen Show Information? Maker notes are proprietary EXIF values that different camera manufacturers use. I can see them in the EXIF properties window, but I can't seem to have them display in fullscreen.

I only see rotate 90 and recreate..
But I can't view, or get it........

I use exiv2 command line utility to view/set EXIF thumbnails. Not that user friendly, but if you must do this, then this is an option for now.

Is there a help/documentation for the keyboard/buttons commands for XnView Pocket for Windows Smartphone?

That seemed to remove the movies altogether from browsing (using page up/down). What I was looking for was a way to be able to browse through movies and photos, but not automatically play the movies until I click the Play button.
